Canon Digital Cameras, Compact

Canon Digital IXUS 200 IS

Canon has played it safe with the Digital IXUS 200 IS, aiming for steady evolution rather than technical innovation. The result is a perfectly decent compact camera. It offers good colours and details at low ISOs, its touchscreen is effective and its 5x extra-wideangle zoom is very useful

Canon PowerShot G11

The pro-orientated, 10-megapixel PowerShot G11 is expensive and heavy, but it's one of the best serious compacts on the market. Its cast-iron body and chunky external dials are excellent, its image quality is good, and its 5x wideangle zoom is sharp right through its focal range and right to the edges of the frame, too

Canon PowerShot D10

The 12-megapixel PowerShot D10 adds a welcome splash of style to the ruggedised camera market. Although it's not as shockproof as some of its rivals and the basic 3x zoom is nothing to shout about, it's waterproof to an impressive 10m and the lens is unusually sharp for this class of camera

Canon PowerShot G10

Still the Godfather of compact cameras, the Canon G10 is a worthy successor to the G9. A wideangle lens, accessible controls and a list of features as long as your arm put dSLR power in your pocket. The 14.7-megapixel snapper is chunky by anyone's standards but it packs in enough power to make it worth it

Canon PowerShot G9

Look again -- it's not the G7 all over again but the updated Canon PowerShot G9. Although it strikes a similar pose to the G7, it's more than just a pretty face. The G9 has improved photo quality and restored RAW format support while maintaining excellent performance. Old is new again

Canon PowerShot G7

Offering a 10-megapixel sensor and a 64mm LCD, the light but sturdy Canon PowerShot G7 is an attractive option for the enthusiast. While the camera is pretty fast, image quality can be mixed -- sometimes giving unpredictable results
