Pluses, Excellent construction, finish and slim design, Good picture quality up to 400 ISO, 720p HD video and integrated HDMI output, Responsive and nice to handle, Compatible with the new SDXC and EyeFi cards

L'Ixus 130 perpétue la tradition des appareils "bijoux" Canon : petit, joli, simple à utiliser et délivrant de belles images. Ce nouveau modèle apporte peu de surprises, l'Ixus conservant ses avantages et ses inconvénients....
Klein und kompakt, Weitwinkel, HD-Video, Gute Farbwiedergabe
Starke Verzeichnung, Relativ langsam, Hoher Texturverlust
Äußerlich erscheint die Ixus 130 als ideale Style-Kamera: klein, schick und robust. Dazu bietet sie eine einfache Bedienung und ist mit ihrer Ausstattung auf der Höhe der Zeit. Die Fotos der 130er gefallen mit hoher Auflösung. Schwächen zeigt die Ixus 130...
