Expert review by : Trusted Reviews (trustedreviews.com)
Canon's new entry level ultra-compact is a bit cheaper than the usual IXUS.
Optical image stabilisation, Aluminium body, Snappy operation, Good picture quality
Low on features, Slightly slow autofocus, Only standard def video
Expert review by : Dave Stevenson (techradar.com)
The update to the IXUS 95 sits firmly in the midrange
Beautiful design ; Great stills quality ; Well made
Slow continuous mode ; No HD video ; Pricey
The humble Ixus 95 has been propping up Canon's stylish range of lifestyle cameras for around a year, so it's surprising to see it being be put out to pasture.
Expert review by : Gavin Stoker (pocket-lint.com)
Canon pioneered the premium pocket compact with its IXUS brand, continuing its marriage of style to substance into a second decade with the launch of the image stabilised 105 model: a 12.1-megapixel palm-sized offering with wide angle, internally...
Well crafted and feels sturdily constructed despite being barely bigger than a business card, simple to operate with sufficiently large buttons and quick response times
Images softer than expected, no HD video, optical zoom disabled when shooting video clips, need to budget extra for removable media
Fortunately then, this camera is as much about style as substance. Predictably the IXUS 105 is available in a quartet of colours: silver, pink, brown and turquoise ("aqua"). And if you feel that headline resolution still isn't high enough, then check...

As the starting point for Canon's Digital Elph ultracompact cameras, the SD1300 IS is decidedly basic. For example, one of the big selling points is that it's available in several color choices. It has other positive attributes, but nothing that makes...
Good looking, easy-to-use design; very good photo quality.
Basic feature set for its price.
If all you need or want is to point and shoot, the Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS does that well.

Another small and stylish IXUS, but is there anything new? The What Digital Camera Canon IXUS 105 review finds out
Small, stylish, reasonable image quality
Occasional highlight loss, no HD recording
The wideangle lens of the Canon IXUS 105 is a bonus at this price and performance-wise there's little fault, but the small LCD screen and lack of HD functionality are a little disappointing, and elsewhere there's nothing particularly new or...

A closer look at Canon's stylish new shooter
The Canon IXUS 105 is a stylish shooter that takes good pictures overall. A competent all-rounder for beginners that sadly is lacking in features and video
Expert review by (cameras.co.uk)
The IXUS 105 scores high marks for just about everything it does. It is a fairly straightforward pocket camera and takes great quality snapshots for such a small camera. The build quality appears to be very good as well. You cannot go far wrong with...
Picture quality - style - build quality
Shutter delay with flash
Expert review by : Campbell Simpson (goodgearguide.com.au)
This compact Canon camera delivers consistent results with no nasty surprises
Decent image quality, fast operation and responsive shutter
No HD video recording, no HDMI port
Canon's IXUS 105 IS typifies the mid-level point-and-shoot digital camera. It produces reasonable quality photos, especially in ideal lighting conditions. The controls are easy to operate and familiar to anyone who's used a Canon compact. It won't...

The Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS, for under $200, is a 12.1 megapixel point-and-shoot with HD video capability and smart shooting features.
