The 300 HS might be too small for some
And accessing its shooting modes other than auto is laborious
The key aspects of the Canon IXUS 220 HS camera are its thin frame, which makes it very easy to carry in a trouser pocket, and its image quality, which is clear and vibrant. It has a retail price of £169, but if you're after a good quality, slim, autom...
Excellent build, nice slim design, Picture quality in wide angle up to 800 ISO, 1080p HD video mode with optical zoom and stereo sound, Pleasant to use, clear controls and menus
Picture quality not quite as good in telephoto, Slower to switch on than previous models, Lowdefinition screen, Sound isn't particularly accurate

HDMI output, Good low-light performance, Suitable for camera beginners
Average speed performance, Some loss of sharpness at edges

The Canon IXUS 220HS is a very capable point-and-shoot camera that produces well-detailed, natural-looking images. If you’re after a pocket-sized camera to keep with you that is fast and requires little manual interaction, then this camera is worth con...
Abstract: Recently I came across an article which says that there's a man who owns as many as 1000 different types of digital cameras. Well it is quite ammusing! It is indeed true that we always need a good camera by our side, so that we can click our favourite mom...
Great ISO test results, Good images in lowlight conditions, Slim and sleek form factor, A lot of shooting modes
Below average shooting speeds, Low battery life
The IXUS 200 HS is a stylish compact digital camera with a great set of features and Canon's proprietary HS system for shooting pictures in low light. The camera came as a pleasant surprise with its good performance but disappointed us with its lower ...
