The Canon Digital IXUS 130 continues the long-standing IXUS tradition of small, stylish and well-built cameras, with the added benefit of being the slimmest model to date. The high price and merely average image quality do take some of the sheen off ...

Limited optical zoom, No independent control over aperture and shutter speed, Instances of chromatic aberration,
Like its predecessor, I enjoyed spending time with the SD1400 IS. It's small, sleek and easily transportable, and has very good build quality. It takes nice-looking photos and movies and has many interesting features. It has a high-quality lens that ta...

Excellent clarity, captures colours vividly, f/2.8 aperture, reasonably good performance in dim lighting conditions
Build quality could be better, buttons are hard to press, top of case creaks, battery compartment can be hard to open, poor zoom control

Incredibly slim and stylish chassis. Range of automatic modes. HD video recording
Controls too small for big hands. No optical zoom in movie mode. Low resolution LCD compared to the competition. Noise issues at low ISO levels. Poor video quality
Casual shooters will find nothing wrong with the images from the IXUS 130 IS, but more astute photographers will find some troublesome noise and photo quality issues....
Abstract: Pocket sized digital snapshot cameras, which in a nutshell describes Canon's IXUS 130, are two-a-penny, so what makes this slim-line offering different? Well, for starters it is blessed with the same high-fashion looks that have come to embody the IXUS ra...
Abstract: The rounded edges of the incredibly small Canon IXUS 130 give it an air of sophistication, while its weighty feel suggests quality. It’s ever so slightly more streamlined than its predecessor, the 120, the lens flush with the body and a different zoom ...
