Canon Ixus 65

The Canon IXUS 65 is a pocket sized digital camera. It has six megapixels and a three times optical zoom lens. It is well made with a good build quality. In terms of features it is basically a point and shoot digital camera. Therefore the IXUS 65 is likely to appeal to anyone who is looking for a good quality, straightforward camera.In terms of features and style it is very similar indeed to the Canon IXUS 60. The main difference between the two models is that this camera has a larger three inch LCD screen, but does not have a viewfinder.When it comes to image quality Canon consistently produce excellent digital cameras. One of the key features of each camera is the sharpness of each image. The IXUS 65 upholds this reputation.Looking through the test photos starting with the outdoor scenic type shots for a pocket sized camera the photos are very well focused. The brickwork on the building and the tiles on the roof are sharper than with the majority of ultra compact models. The camera also manages to retain a good level of focus towards the edges of each shot.

I bought the Canon Ixus 65 for a present for my Mum. Although it opts for quality over quantity when it comes to mega pixels, having 6 but makes up for it with an ISO of 800 which takes great moving pictures. It is easy to use has a large 3" screen and a 3x good optical zoom. I also like the fact that is slightly more bulkier than the average camera nowadays so it makes it easier for her to use.
