Customer Reviews

Almost everything you could want in a digital camera
I bought my IXUS 65 as a more travel-friendly companion to my dSLR, so one of the most important factors in my mind was how easily it would fit in my pocket, but I also didn't want to compromise too much on image quality; it had to be very significantly better than the camera on my mobile phone.

I spent a whole day on the internet researching my choice and finally chose the IXUS 65 over the Canon IXUS i7 (a smaller camera but other reviewers say it has poorer image quality), FujiFilm Finepix F30 (which might take better pictures but is not as compact), and the Panasonic Lumix FX07 (better in the wide-angle range but poorer image quality on some of the sites I've seen).

Good points of the IXUS 65:
- Very small and lightweight, easily fits into a small pocket
- Stylish looks will impress
- Ready to shoot pretty quickly when you turn it on
- Huge LCD display is nice and clear, makes composition easy
- Satisfactory indoor / night shots (many compacts struggle with this)
- Slow Synchro flash achieves good results at night
- Very good auto white balance - saves time
- Very nice macro shots for a digital compact
- Canon's online support is great except for replacement manuals...

Things I dislike:
- Disappointing battery life, definitely worth getting a spare
- Flimsy covers for connectivity ports & battery/SD compartment
- Noisy at ISO 800 (but no worse than most of the competition)
- Autofocus is not great in low light conditions
- No "landscape" mode - I get a similar effect by choosing *Manual* shooting mode, *Vivid* in MyColours, *Infinity* focusing, and a low ISO - but that's about 10 key presses where one would be better!

Overall, I like the IXUS 65 and I'm very happy with my choice.

I'd definitely recommend the IXUS 65 for:
- People who mostly take photos at parties, social gatherings, on holiday etc - this camera's looks will impress, it's easy to use, and most reviewers agree it takes better pictures than the IXUS i7 or iZoom
- People who want to be able to take photos quickly in an automatic mode and aren't bothered about having manual settings
- People like me who want a second, smaller camera as a partner for a more fully functional model - this camera is very pocket-friendly

But I would not recommend the IXUS 65 as your only camera if you want to be more creative with your own settings (maybe think about the FujiFilm F30).

The best digital camera
Got this camera couple of months ago, the best buy, worth all the money, beautiful pictures, easy use and the battery last forever, worth to buy lots of memory space as you will be taking lots of pictures once you start

Stunning Camera
I bought this camera to replace my ageing Kodak entry level digital camera. After much research I went for the IXUS 65 and I have not been disappointed. It is small enough to pop in a shirt pocket and has a quality, well-made feel to it. There are an awful lot of fuctions and features however it is easy enough to only use the ones you need to get by. Leaving the more advanced ones for a rainy manual reading day. Overall, I am delighted.
