  • Superb styling and finish; pocket-sized dimensions and rounded corners; good picture quality; easy to use; responsive
  • No optical zoom in movie mode; unadventurous 3x zoom lens
  • Go into any camera store and you won't be able to move for pocket-friendly super-slim cameras, practically all of which are cheaper than the Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS. But the 100 IS has class in abundance. This camera's styling, finish, controls and ...

  • Great overall image quality, Good Indoor and low light performance, Compact and simple design, Excellent 720p HD video, Optical viewfinder
  • No wide angle lens, Tiny buttons
  • The IXUS 100 IS is about as thin as cameras come at this price point. Our tests prove that function has not been sacrificed for form. You should seriously consider this if you are looking for an ultracompact camera at the Rs.15,000 mark....

  • Vivid Color Reproduction, Accurate auto-white balance, Pics high on detail, Supports HD video recording, Small form/good build
  • Has too few scene modes, Zoom is only 3x, No manual functionality
  • In spite of good build quality and better-than-average performance, the Canon IXUS 100 IS lacks an impressive feature-list by honing some of the fewest scene modes Ive seen in an ultra compact. Even its manual functionality is limited to a Program Aut...

  • Sleek styling; HD video function; decent image quality and performance.
  • Lacks wide-angle optics; small form factor may not go down well with users having larger hands.
  • This petite powerhouse is Canons smallest ever Ixus camera and its stylish looks should resonate with those who want a capable and tiny point-and-shoot.

  • Boîtier terriblement séduisant : très fin, belle construction et finition impeccable, Ecran LCD de bonne qualité, Clichés globalement corrects, Mode vidéo HDTV 720p avec connexion mini HDMI, Présence d'un minuscule v...
  • Pas de grandangle !, Toujours pas d'histogramme d'exposition à la prise de vue, Pas de zoom optique pendant les vidéos, Toujours pas un minimum de mémoire interne au cas où, Mode rafale anémique
  • Véritable réussite esthétique, l'Ixus 100 IS de Canon est un appareil agréable à utiliser et que l'on oublie facilement dans une poche. S'il manque un véritable grand-angle, les autres défauts ne sont pas...

  • Die schlanke Canon Ixus 100IS liefert eine ordentliche Bildqualität, kann aber nicht ganz mit Canons günstigerem 10-Megapixel-Modell Ixus 95IS mithalten. Trotzdem ein faires Preis-Leistungsverhältnis....
