Helpful consumer’s review
Bought mine around 3 weeks ago. I wanted a high quality point and shoot camera which had a few extra manual adjustments and other facilities on offer and would fit in the pocket. The Canon Ixus 75 fits the bill perfectly. I’ve used it thus far in auto, manual, macro and the very impressive photo stitch mode where photographs can be taken from either left to right or right to left and then stitched together using the PC software that is provided with the camera. I should add that this software provides a range of other facilities well beyond the stitch function.
It’s probably worth mentioning that this little gem also offers limited stop motion video where you can capture, for example, clouds rolling by or people walking by. It does this by taking a picture every 1 or 2 seconds and then putting them together into a video. Very clever.
It’s well built and has a superb 3″ screen. There is no viewfinder but, as yet, I’ve not found that I have needed it. Even in bright sunlight the screen is viewable. Battery life is extremely good. The instruction manuals (basic and advanced) are comprehensive though I would have preferred it if the advanced manual had also been provided in paper version (you will find it on the associated CDROM). But that’s a small quibble as is the fact that it doesn’t come with a case which you will need to buy separately.
This isn’t a digital SLR but if you don’t need all the fancy extras and comprehensive manual adjustments that a digital SLR camera provides then I strongly suggest that you at least put this one on your shortlist. This little Canon is highly recommended!
