Canon Ixus 75

Does anyone have one? My camera has died and I need a new one by the weekend (DS 1st birthday!) so was wondering if anyone had an opinion on this one.

I don't need fancy features although I do use my camera a lot and would like one with not too much of a delay - my current Nikon takes ages to actually take the picture once you press the button so you often miss the smile - and a red eye reduction so I don't need to spend hours editing them on the boots machine!

Apart from that I just want something that's easy to just point and shoot and not too pricey!

I have an older-model Ixus and love it to bits
thwe best way to assess delay is go to Currys or somewhere and try them all

DH rates this very highly in terms of value for money for a compact digital. www.hotukdeals.com/item/196198/canon-ixus-950is-2-gb-sd-card-149-9/

Thanks - will definitely check out the 950 too because that does look like a great deal. Can't believe the timing of mine breaking!

We were looking for one for my mum when mine started playing up a bit so I have one now just in case my old one goes completely belly up (not that it is all that old IMO but these days things don't last!). Haven't had a chance to play with it yet though. I'm sure it is probably pretty good esp. for the price.

I love mine. Was easy to get to grips with and pics (mainly of new baby and family etc so far) have been great.

Two years ago I was going to buy an IXUS. I love Canon and already had two film SLRs. Then I thought, bugger it and got a digital SLR (EOS 350d). That 950 looks a good price.
