Canon IXUS 950 IS: point and shot!
Yesterday we decided to take a compact camera, one of those point and shot to bring with us every day. We were aimed to the Canon IXUS 800 IS, but the only shops that had it were pricing it a little higher than expected (over £250 in sale, it is a theft!). We opted for a Canon IXUS 950 IS, priced less than the 800, in a shop that was aimed to sell, not just to expose.
Luckily the batteries were half charged, so we started using it immediately after buying it.
Coming from the Olympus E 500, a digital SLR, taking photos with this one is like playing with a toy: you point, click and a very nice picture is taken. As easy as you can think: this small jewel does everything by itself.
Clearly you cannot expect the level of freedom a digital SLR gives you in terms of artistic photos; you cannot have a overexposed or underexposed shot, the manual function does not allow you to decide the aperture or the shot time, but for what it is supposed to be, a super compact digital camera, the Canon IXUS 950 IS is definitely a good choice!!!
The “IS” in the name stands for “Image Stabilizer” and I have to admit that it does his job extremely well: very few of the hundred of shots taken yesterday were moved! More than this, this little camera has a nice feature of Face Detection, that helps taking amazing portraits!
I’ve just uploaded some shots taken in these few hours in our photo gallery!
