Whilst I have a Canon bridge camera - SX 1 - it's has to be said that it's still too large to lug around during my dinner breaks, short walks or visits to friends and family so I wanted a camera that would give good images, has an optical viewfinder (a rarety these days!) and is not too expensive. Having seen results from a freinds Ixus 80 I decided to give the IS 95 a try and I am very, very happy.
Startup is almost instant with pictures being sharp and detailed with good colours and contrast - which is the most important aspect of any camera. Add to this the incredibly small size, ease of use, excellent screen and seemingly endless battery life and and I could not have asked for much more from such a budget priced camera.
I would have liked a zoom greater than 3x and RAW would have been nice but these are desires more than necessities so can hardly be classed as problems.
All I can say is that if you are looking for a small, capable, easy to use, ultra small convenient clicker this is a no brainer. Go on, treat yourself!
Thanks Canon. |

| If all you want to do is point and shoot, and not worry about settings/flash, etc, then this camera could not be easier - in the Auto mode, it does it all for you....you literally just point and shoot. The photos are of excellent quality as well, crystal clear. It's small enough to fit in your handbag so it's always there whenever that "Kodak moment" arises! Well worth every penny. |
A little beauty!

I really like this camera! I have taken about 25 shots with it so far, mostly in the local park. The images are all sharp, which shows that the optical image stabilization works, because some of those shots were zoomed in. There is slight barrel distortion at wide angle but it disappears at standard and telephoto. Colour is realistic.
The LCD monitor is bright and was perfectly visible outside on a sunny day in March. And that's just at 60% brightness. If you put it up to 100% I would expect it to be visible on a sunny day in high summer. The optical viewfinder is usable but does not show the entire scene.
Canon have put a lot of features into this small package. There is an Auto mode which will set all the features for you, depending on the scene. Alternatively you can select Program AE mode, which allows you to have full control of the features. There is also a Movie mode.
One nice feature of this camera (and there are many) is that you can set the LCD monitor to have dark bands across the top and bottom, so that the central area is in the proportions 3:2. I will probably use that a lot, because I generally print 6" x 4".
I hope this helps. |
