There's still not a compact camera that can touch it. Buy one now. Overall Score 6/6Canon's IXUS range has been an A-list stalwart for sometime, but we weren't overly enamoured with the last iteration, the IXUS 55, bolted a bulky 2.5in LCD screen onto the back (December 2005, page 64). With the 65, Canon moves up from five to six megapixels and expands the very responsive screen to a massive three inches while making it flush with the body. It's a superb package. The controls are even more intuitive (if miniaturised) and it's a dream to use. Just note the optical viewfinder is now gone. It's still very responsive with the sharp, 3x optical zoom extending in just one second and continuous shooting seeing two, full-resolution (2816x2112) pictures captured per second until the SD card filled up. As before, the automatic sensors seemed incapable of bad exposure in all lighting conditions and the 30fps (640x480) video mode offers near DVD quality. In short, there's still not a compact camera that can touch it. Buy one now. Australian PC Authority June 2006 Related Links
