Canon IXUS 160 Point and Shoot Digital Camera - Black

Nice lightweight camera easy to use, was disappointed that there was not a lead to connect to PC to download photos as with my Panasonic camera

Great point and shoot camera. Need to adjust the settings to get best quality pictures. Reading on websites best quality if you buy sdhc class 10 card 32gb which I have just purchased via Amazon. I bought this camera to replace my previous metal case Canon camera which I had for many years. Although this is not metal cased it doesn't feel as cheap as some of the other Reviewers have specified. I have got some lovely shots of the family. One of the pluses of this camera is that it will fit in a handbag.

Ordered it yesterday and arrived well packaged and on time at the Amazon locker today. I bought this to replace my ageing but still working well IXUS 40. On unpacking my initial response was disappointment. The new 160 is much less weighty, looks and feels more fragile. I doubt it will stand much user punishment. Overall the build quality is poor by comparison to the 40. The plastic looks and feels cheap. The spring loaded mechanism for the battery is of poor design and it's a real fiddle coaching the battery in and out for charging. Even the battery itself is a poor substitute for the original IXUS 40 model. Does it take good pictures? Well I will never know, I have already passed it on to my daughter. I'm sticking with the 40 despite its now elderly technology.

This camera [for some reason] always turns in to MACRO mode, and makes photos really blurry. Luckily; had my iPhone handy to take a picture of all my daughters friends at her birthday party.

Photos are worse quality that all of my previous IXUS' from over the years. I just wish my family would stop dropping them.

Good little camera, ideal for the kids, or keeping in the car etc.It has a good zoom, although it can be difficult to get a steady image when on full zoom. Not bad for the price though!

Came within a day of me placing my order As an ameatuer photographer i only bought this as I do not always want to use my phone to take pictures. This produces great quality pictures in whichever setting you find yourself. Easy to use and lightweight so can fit in hand, bag or pocket.Literally just point and shoot and watch your pictures come to life.

Excellent camera in right conditions with splendid results usually. Unfortunately doesn't have separate viewfinder and in sunlight difficult to see what you are taking. I use it as practical pocket backup camera when I do not want to carry my heavy DSLR
