"A sad apology for a product"
What I like:
erm....the colour?
What I don't like:
Awful, Awful picture quality. Terrible, pixalated video
Review:
I picked this specifically on the recommendation of the CNET editors choice and the accompanying video. After 3 different Canon Ixus over the years, I find this really very disappointing. I’m going to get the screen on my old Ixus fixed and give this to my toddler.
I didn’t give it a zero simply for the fact that it does technically qualify as a camera by looking like one and having the ability to take a photo, albeit a dreadful one.
Not happy - waste of money

Not much to look at, but it's actually a very good ultra-compact camera for snapshooters
Samsung PL60
Stylish, practical and pleasing to use. Its pictures aren't bad either, so it's a good buy at this price
Samsung ST1000
Good camera made great by its excellent touchscreen interface and wireless technology
