  • Optical zoom cannot be used

  • Canon is still adding new models to their popular line of Digital ELPH cameras, which includes the PowerShot ELPH 100 HS (aka the IXUS 115 HS in the UK). One of several models to bear the "High Sensitivity" (HS) badge, the 100 HS is an ultra-compact 12...

  • The Canon PowerShot Elph 100 HS is a very good value, offering good photo and video quality outside and indoors, lots of fun shooting modes, and decent shooting performance for its class
  • The 100 HS' photos look soft, even at lower ISOs, and its autofocus is regularly inaccurate
  • If you're after an inexpensive ultracompact with good low-light photos, the Canon PowerShot Elph 100 HS is one to get. But you'd better act fast....

  • Compact, lightweight and stylish. Comes with 1080p HD video. Well priced
  • Autofocus struggles in low light. Some images can be soft. Slow performance
  • The IXUS 115 is a nifty compact that will fit in your pocket, but won't dent it with a heavy price....

  • The 100 HS takes arguably the best photos of any sub-$200 camera on the market. It can capture decent shots even in challenging settings, and in ideal conditions—outdoors on a bright, sunny day—its images are bright and clear with true-to-life colors. Any...

  • Highquality build and materials used, Good picture quality up to 800 ISO, Good picture quality at telephoto settings, 1080p HD video mode with sharp picture quality, Easy to use
  • Lens could be sharper at wideangle settings, No stereo sound or optical zoom in video mode, Could be more responsive, Lowdef screen, Flat buttons set flush into the casing aren't always practical
  • The Canon Ixus 115 HS is a nice surprise, boasting good internal electronics, a pleasant build and a sleek design, all for a price at which basic CCD sensors, harsh plastics and TN screens are still the order of the day. Canon just needs to improve the...

  • This tiny camera packs a big photographic punch, taking the best pictures and video of all the models we tested. It’s also the most expensive, though we think its superior quality is worth paying the extra for. The generous 3in screen is impressive fo...

  • Abstract:  If I keep saying it long enough I might believe it, it’s not pink, it’s not pink it’s purple. Here I am looking at one of Canons latest Ixus cameras its purple but I am very pleased to say that is only one of the colours it comes in....
