The IXUS 60 delivers superb image quality and is beautifully designed and built.
Summary
 Image Quality 6/6
Features & Design 6/6
Value for money 5/6
Overall Score 6/6
The IXUS 65 has been our A-list champion for months, so we thought we'd look at its close sibling, the IXUS 60. The deciding factor for purchasers is that the 65 has a stunning 3-inch LCD instead of the 60's viewfinder and 2.5 inch LCD. It's got its work cut out for it against the cheaper rivals on test here. The IXUS' 2816 x 2112 resolution, 3x optical zoom and stunning 2.5in display are nothing out of the ordinary. At least with the latter it's still relatively easy to detect camera shake and check focus.
And, for the macro shots, few cameras can match the Canon for closeness. Movies were great too - VGA clips can be shot at 30fps and, unlike others, the Ixus supports digital zooming. Average audio quality was our only gripe.
Overall, the shortcomings are far outweighed by the benefits and, even at this price, the IXUS 60 offers superb value and quality in a pocketable format.
