If you're hunting down an entry level compact camera, then the Canon IXUS 95 IS could well be just what you're looking for. With Smart Auto mode for shooting top notch images in all conditions, the exposures are always on form and the auto flash is one of very few to accurately expose and fill-in (even in daylight) with no faffing around whatsoever. Plus the IXUS 95 has some small and mighty-fine details such as its viewfinder and well-encased li-ion battery that make it all the more pleasurable to use. Never an effort, always a pleasure - the IXUS 95 IS wont let you down. Of the few pernickety complaints to be made is that the lens range could perhaps be both wider and longer - but then other Canon compacts offer such options if you're willing to pump a little more cash into the budget. All in all, a mighty fine entry level compact with a price to reflect that's benefitted from an overhaul in its physical design to appeal to the masses. The IXUS's curvy edges and swanky colours are likely to be seen in many hand-or-manbags across the country. The Canon IXUS 95 IS is a thoroughly recommended little gem of a compact camera.
