read dpreview and imaging resource
they generally do in-detail camera reviews which would give you a pretty solid idea of whether this cam is a good buy

i don't think dpreview has review of ixus 60, but imaging resource has

i read the review on ixus 60 .. sounds pretty gd ... but seems like everyone is asking mi to get 850is ... actualli i need the cam just for normal shoots not those professional shoots .. so is there any diff ?
cos i am buying for my bro and he is using it mostly to take pics with his frens .. kindly advice .. if i can get a good buy .. y not ?

i called ap the other day .. 850 is is 645 with a one gb sd card ..

the canon road show is offering ixus 60 with a 1 gb sd card , combo card reader, extra canon batt and cam case for 499 .


and also .. i would like to noe how much does the 850is extra batt cost ?

[night86mare]

even for normal shots, i think imaging resource mentioned that the contrast settings on ixus 60 is pretty extreme at times

and the battery life is inferior, could be problematic since it's using rechargeable li-on

if you don't mind using non-original

$28 on bargaincity, price might differ elsewhere

Personally, for canon, I think the powershot series is very good. But the IXUS... IMHO, no good.

of course, most super slims have to sacrifice the quality.

I think fuji F30 and F31 is a pretty good compact slim. Unless ur very brand consious over canon, you might consider it.

For the price of $499, I think Fujifilm F20 is better.
