The editors didn't like
A little bulky compared to its competitors
Optical viewfinder is not accurate
No digital zoom in Wide Screen aspect ratio shooting
No manual control over aperture or shutter speed
Easily blows out highlights
Optical zoom is just 3.8x from 28mm
Price is a little high
Limited manual-control features
Youll pay extra for the IS but you might not need it
AiAF focus a bit unpredictable - turn it off
Very little manual control
ISO 200 and 400 suffer from the effect of noise reduction and loss of low contrast detail
Excellent colour performance, Great wide-angle lens, Attractive looks
Image noise at higher ISOs
The current crop of models in Canons Ixus range may look very similar, but they arent all created equal. Take the 850 IS, for example... its incredibly stylish with all the good looks of its stable mates. However, with 7 megapixels and a wider-angle...
Great build, image quality as lower ISOs, responsive, easy to use, good metering and colour, nice lens focal range
Reduced detail due to noise reduction processing, Intrusive noise at higher ISOs, unreliable AiAF focus system, bodywork prone to scratching

Grand angle 28 mm, zoom stabilisé, Très rapide à la mise sous tension : 1 sec, Design, finition, suivi des visages très efficace, Rendu de couleurs assez juste, bonne balance auto des blancs, Filtre antibruit
Pas de réglage manuel possible : ni de la vitesse, ni de l'ouverture, Prix, L'antibruit pourrait être encore plus efficace, Encore de légers défauts dans la prise de son sur les voix
C'était le compact ultime, jusqu'à la sortie de l'Ixus 860 IS : grand angle, zoom stabilisé, filtre anti-bruit, très rapide... La contre-partie : il n'est pas donné. Néanmoins, même à ce prix,...
