A thing of great beauty – and it takes pretty impressive snaps too

Easily the most desirable camera this month, but you pay for it.

The Canon IXUS 100 IS digital camera is a worthy addition to the IXUS line that impresses on most fronts. Its few flaws are made up for by an arresting form factor and solid image quality. Highly recommended.

So what you have in the Canon IXUS 100 IS, is a compact, lightweight and well-built camera, that will slip easily into a pocket or bag, ideally suited for snapping away without weighing you down. It looks good too and is a pleasure to use, bringing that quality look that is typical of this line of IXUS models.

The results are generally good too, but more discerning photographers may feel they have to work the settings to get exactly what they want, but for your average user looking for a versatile compact camera, then the IXUS 100 appeals. For those who actually want to make use of the viewfinder on a daily basis it is a less appealing.

What also appeals less is a suggested retail price of £299, inflated partly thanks to shifting exchange rates in these tumultuous times, but there are bargains to be had online, at more pocket-friendly prices.

But more significantly you have to ask whether the 12 megapixels on offer deliver results above and beyond the previous 10 megapixel offerings. We're not sure it does. The IXUS 100 keeps pace with the Joneses, cramming an extra 2 megapixels into a offering very similar to the IXUS 95, which ultimately offers much better value for money.
