The Digital IXUS series slots above the PowerShot A in Canon's point-and-shoot lineup, with models in the Digital IXUS range commanding a considerable price premium. [9] However, since the late 2000s, with the falling prices of Digital IXUS models in Canadian and U.S. markets, they have become among some of the lower-priced models available as PowerShot A models are gradually withdrawn from the market and not replaced.

Other Canon regulars such as a swift response Digic 4 processor, blur-reducing optical image stabiliser and subject recognising (and setting optimising) Smart Auto with Scene Detection technology are also on board. Here the camera chooses from 22 presets to allow for pure point and shoot operation with minimal fuss. The camera’s i-Contrast option can also be used to even out bring out detail in high contrast exposures, though in practice its results aren’t that pronounced.

Like other Canon compacts, there’s no built-in memory, so you’ll need to fit a card before you can take any photos or video. Canon recommends cards rated as Class 4 or faster to smoothly support the HD video, but at least that includes affordable models like SanDisk’s Ultra II range; we verified Ultra II cards worked fine with the HD movie mode. The SD slot is housed in the battery compartment, and alongside the door, just off-centre is a metal tripod thread.

It records in the efficient h.264 format like most of Canon’s DIGIC 4 based cameras, meaning that you’ll only need around 180MB per minute of recorded video with a maximum file size of 4GB or 10 minutes in length. Audio is clear, but distinctly average which is likely down to the microphone rather than the format its recorded in – we didn’t expect anything more though, frankly. The 1/2.3-inch sensors used in today's compact cameras are just too small to deliver really impressive pictures, and continually hiking the megapixel count makes matters worse, not better, because the internal noise-reduction processing has to be ramped up too. The 130's images aren't bad, as long as you don't blow them up too much, but smudging of low-contrast detail soon becomes apparent, even at low ISO settings. The lens isn't that great, either, showing noticeable chromatic aberration and a loss of definition towards the edges of the picture. Canon IXUS 240 HS Digital Compact Camera". Canon Europe.

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 what is otherwise a very nice point-and-shoot.ISO 1600, titanium case, face detection, first to use DIGIC III OS, Denim Blue, Steel Grey, Sepia, Pink [70] Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS Digital Compact Camera".

On a rather dull day we chose the Vivid setting from amongst the Canon’s ‘My Colors’ menu to help this post box leap out of frame. Having said that, the boost in saturation provided is quite subtle. It’s quite a fun camera to use, too, with no awkward mode dials or complex controls. There’s a mode switch, allowing you to move between the Auto, Program and Video modes, and a four-way dial for controlling focus, exposure compensation, the flash and self-timer. There are additional controls available via the ‘Func Set’ button in the centre of the four-way dial, but these are limited to just image size and compression when the camera’s in its auto mode.

It’s a nice touch, although some explanations could go further for beginners – for example switch the White Balance to Tungsten and the IXUS 130 / SD1400 IS will say “For Shooting under Tungsten Lighting”. Well, sure, that much is obvious, but perhaps giving an example like “For Shooting under Tungsten Lighting, such as indoor lamps” might be more useful. Likewise, choosing 1600 ISO will simply say “Set ISO to 1600” when it could elaborate and suggest it might be good for low light conditions.Canon PowerShot SD880 IS review: Canon PowerShot SD880 IS". 28 October 2008.

Previously a spring loaded zoom lever with a small lip protruding to the front, the IXUS 130 now offers a small plastic lever which you push left to zoom out and right to zoom out. It's not as responsive or as precise as the zoom lever on the 120, and it's also raised above the top of the camera, spoiling the otherwise clean profile. Completing the top of the camera is an adequately sized shutter release button. This article uses the Digital IXUS model names unless otherwise stated. The comparison tables in this article list equivalent IXY Digital and PowerShot Digital ELPH model names. The Canon IXUS 130 / SD1400 IS offers two main auto-focusing options: Face AiAF and Centre. The default Face AiAF automatically switches between face detection when a human subject is in the frame and a standard nine-area system for other subjects. It works seamlessly in practice, and like other Canon compacts employing DIGIC 4 processors, the face detection can hang-onto most subjects as they move across the frame or turn to full profile.
