Canon Digital IXUS 750 review

Image Quality
It's no surprise that the IXUS 750's photos match those of the IXUS 700's since they use the same components. Overall, the Canon Digital IXUS 750 delivered sharp, almost too-saturated images, with a slightly cool white balance. Metering and exposure were top-notch, even in difficult backlit and sidelit scenes. Though it tended to blow out highlights a bit more than we'd like, we saw excellent dynamic range in the midtones and shadows. Because blown-out highlights tend to create high-contrast edges, however, we also saw more frequent purple fringing there and on the sides of the scene, where lens focus falls off. Shots taken at ISO 50 and ISO 100 displayed relatively low noise; as expected, noise did become more apparent at settings of ISO 200 and ISO 400.

For an ultracompact camera, the IXUS 750 produced some very sharp shots (top), as you can tell from the detail above (bottom).
