Canon introduces the latest evolution of the IXUS range of digital cameras for style-conscious digital photographers: the Canon Digital IXUS 860 IS. Equipped with a 28mm (35mm equivalent) 3.8x wide-angle zoom lens with optical Image Stabilizer, the 8.0 Megapixel Canon Digital IXUS 860 IS is the successor to the hugely popular Canon Digital IXUS 850 IS.

Fantastic camera
I am thrilled with this camera. The picture quality is amazing and the colours true and vibrant. The image stabalisation works a treat and the LCD is truly breathtaking. There is no loss of sharpness when using the zoom and the wide angle lens is a real bonus. Canon have done it again. Go forth and purchase!!!!!

CAUTION - Beware Grey Imports
When I bought one of these cameras from Allcam World of Portables - they supplied me with a US model - different to what was advertised. There was no UK guarantee. When it went wrong - Allcam refused to repair it under warranty. Canon said they had no obligation to repair it.
BEWARE BUYING FROM ALLCAM.

Ok so I just bought the camera today! And figured out how to use all the settings.
Wow it has a lot of settings.
It has a setting called aquarium! It takes great pictures of my fish.
It can even make your skin look darker or lighter!
It has a sunset setting, snow, beach.........it's great!
I like how small and light it. It has a viewfinder and a screen.
I really like how there's a switch, for changing between picture and video mode.
I really like this camera and really happy I bought it.
Would have liked a bigger screen but the compact size makes up for it
