 DON'T BUY CANON IXUS 70 ! November 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
There are reports all over the net that the lens will have a fault within a year of purchase and Canon will not be interested in your problem. It has happened to me after just 9 months! The lens won't open and displays a,"Lens error,restart camera",message.It won't restart. Canon don't care!
This is a generic problem with Canon cameras.
BUYER BEWARE!
Fantastic Camera up until the point it stops working November 2, 2008

Bought this for my wife as a Christmas present last year. It has been great and taken fantastic photos up until this week when suddenly the lens became jammed and the camera would just display "Lens Error, please restart camera".
A quick search shows this is a common problem, though nobody seems to have luck with the warranty/Canon. Cost of repair is apparently 100ish+VAT, so just bought a new Sony camera instead (<100).
I did not expect to have to replace the camera after 11 months of careful use. I will not be buying Canon again.
 Top drawer October 23, 2008
Had this a while now, frisbee the memory card, bought the camera in a pack with a 2GB SD card and the (loveley) lowepro leather case. Am now limited to only 638 hi-res images - what a chore !
Images in slideshow work ok on my 28" analog panasonic TV, but crystal clear on the smaller 21" digital lcd Sony in the kitchen (I think its a digital thing). Video has to be darn close to my old analog (think its a canon) video camera. Images transferred to the PC can only be described as excellent, and when transferred to the 10" Kodak photoframe elicit oooh's from guests.
Excellent quality (really), zoom nominal (what do you expect in a camera this size?) but ok. But it has one really important feature . . .
IT CAN FIT IN MY SHIRT TOP POCKET ! So its always with me, I always get the shot . . . (the lowepro case fits unobtrusively on the belt if you prefer)
Makes my old Olympus OM2N (film) with zuico wide angle and 85-250mm zoom lense (all in a big shoulder bag) look sick . . technology has come of age.
One odd thing. I saw the Canon 75 and thought higher number, must be better than the 70. Nope. The 70 has an optical viewfinder, the 75 doesnt. My wife is long sighted (is that right?), she can see through the optical viewfinder but cant see the enormous screen. Whereas I'm . . . . .
. . . you get the picture (to coin a phrase).
Canon Ixus 70 - NEVER AGAIN October 19, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this camera after loosing a fantastic Samsung A7 camera in a cab in Paris on honeymoon.
Suffice to say, it was a bad decision.
The quality of the pitures is nowhere near that of the Samsung, although I give the camera its due at being smaller in size and weight.
1 year and 1 week after I purchased the camera I get the infamous "Lens error, restart camera" message whic now means that the camera is stuck with the lens out permanently, and no amount of restarting it will fix it. Unlucky me - and I'm out of warranty I realise
Camera repair quote at local camera shop - 80
Feedback from store the camera was bought at - "Oh yeah, this happens all the time with these".
Shame really, it is a good little compact camera, but durability/dependability is shocking its truely made for the disposable generation of today rather than the solid and reliable Canon products of yesterday.
Why the 100 increase October 18, 2008
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
After reading various customer reviews on Wednesday 15th October 2008 I came back to Amazon today Saturday 18th October 2008 to buy this camera, only to find to my disgust and confusion that the price had increased by a whopping 100. If anyone can enlighten me as to the reason for this I would be most grateful. Many thanks.
