Customer Reviews

Very pleased
I brought the camera a couple of months ago ready for my holiday. I was very pleaseed with how easy it was to use and had a good play around with all the different functions, they really do make a difference so make sure you try them out. I have one small issue and maybe I just haven't read the full info on the camera but I can't see anywhere on the screen where it shows you the battery life left. Saying that it did last me for about 10 days (approx 115 pictures) but then just stopped with no warning. Still a very good buy and would recommend it to anyone else, everyone that has seen mine has commented on how nice it is and how well the photos have come out. I almost forgot to mention how great it is to have such a large screen, brilliant for looking back over your photos. I've included some in the photo gallery if anyone is interested in seeing the results.

Excellent camera!
I started using this bad-boy last March, and I fully loved it. The image quality is superb, the controls are clever yet simple, and the design is very innovative and quite ahead of its time. I've had three compacts before this one; a samsung, and two kodaks, and they didn't compare in the slightest. The macro and digital macro modes are great fun and flawless in my eyes. The camera is very small and handy, and the 3" screen is gorgeous. I even dropped the camera by accident when I was on holiday and feared that might've been the end, but it's a sturdy wee thing and nothing was wrong with it. Just be careful with it at the beach though, I got some sand in the zoom of the lens and it was never quite the same again. Eventually the lens wouldn't contract any longer and I'm very sad to say I had to stop using it. So don't make the same mistake as me! The price of this camera now is a bargain so whether you're new to photography or have had some disappointments in the past, definitely give this camera a try, I doubt you'll be disappointed!

Best camera I've ever bought
I used to use Olympus digital cameras (had 2 of them, the lastest one was Mju710) but that brand is not very good and the pictures' colour cannot be compared with Canon's. So I after trying several Canon cameras from my friends (A710 IS, Ixus 70), I decided to purchase this one Ixus 75 in black.

- the big screen is excellent
- takes very good pictures (well my skin looks flawless), all my friends were raving the camera as well, one of them had the Ixus 70 but it's not as good as this one.
- there are some bad reviews about this cameras on other websites (I did some research before purchasing) but I think all the reviewers are professional so their demands are quite high. I find the camera take stunning pics.

Nothing to complain about, the price is affordable as well
