The Canon IXUS 220 HS continues Canon's run of sleek, attractive pocket models and at under £200 it's not going to break the bank. That may sound like feint praise, and indeed it is - there's little here that we haven't witnessed before from the range. That in itself doesn't of course make the IXUS 220 HS a bad camera, it's just not an especially exciting one.
It does, however, stand out from the crowd by virtue of its noise-free results at higher ISO settings, Full-HD video, HDMI output, and fun digital effects filters. It may lack the 3D mode found on Panasonic Lumix and Sony Cyber-shot models for £100+ more, but in truth most of what anyone would require from a snapshot pocket camera these days is present and correct. It's not revolutionary in any particular way, but the Canon IXUS 220 HS is a competent, consistent performer.
