Review summary: Go into any camera store and you won't be able to move for pocket-friendly super-slim cameras, practically all of which are cheaper than the Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS. But the 100 IS has class in abundance. This camera's styling, finish, controls and...

Verdict: Conclusion Canon sometimes seems to lose the plot slightly with its IXUS cameras, some of which lack the polish and style that made the brand famous. The Digital IXUS 100 IS, however, is a real return to form. It's pricey but near perfect, and produces...

Review summary: Test review of the Canon IXUS 100 IS digital camera

Review summary: Man, the SD780 IS is small. It is the "slimmest Digital ELPH Canon has ever created," but you really don't get a full feel for how diminutive that is until you're holding it. It's really small. Its width and height are about that of a credit card; it's...

Verdict: If you need an ultracompact camera for your pocket or purse, strongly consider the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS.

Review summary: The IXUS 100 IS manages to pair a sleek and sexy chassis with a very competent image-taking base and HD recording. If only it had a wide-angle lens and a slightly longer zoom it would easily win an Editors' Choice award.

Review summary: The PMA (Photo Marketing Association) trade show gave us a sneak peak at the latest ultra-slim digital camera from Canon, the PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH. With its impressive small measurements, 12-megapixel still photos, and 720p video, the SD780...

Verdict: The Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH is a skinny little camera that seems to pack quite a punch. Of course, looking good on paper and looking good in our labs are not always the same thing. Sure, 12-megapixel stills are an alluring promise for a...

Review summary: Getting excited about a compact camera is often hard. Unless there's some outstanding technological advance, we've all got a bit bored of the buzzwords "slimmer" and "lighter". In fact, the compact models that often are the most interesting aren't...

Review summary: Canon have been increasing their model numbers in tandem with upping the megapixels in their cameras on pretty much an annual basis. The IXUS 100, therefore, steps in where the IXUS 95 left off, bringing 12.1 megapixels to the new DIGIC 4 processor but...

Verdict: A quality compact camera, but not without its drawbacks

Review summary: Can a digital camera be too ultra-compact?

Verdict: The Canon IXUS 100 IS is almost a novelty now, a 3x zoom ultra-compact when all around are wide-angle long-zooms. It's a nice looking camera with excellent build quality and a good range of features. Performance is good, especially in low light, and...

Review summary: The Canon PowerShot SD780 IS is a tiny, pocket-sized camera that has a 3x zoom, shoots 12-megapixel images and 720p HD video. This svelte little unit performed well in most of our tests, and can be had for $280.

Verdict: The Canon PowerShot SD780 IS a decent camera poured into a very small package. It may not have the world's most impressive range of manual controls, nor the biggest zoom we've ever seen, but it shoots well, with excellent image sharpness (though with...

Verdict: Much of the appeal of the IXUS 100 IS / SD780 IS of course lies with its physical build and appearance. See it in the flesh and it's a real head-turner, and the first model we've tested in a long while to attract admiring comments from almost everyone...

Review summary: The stylish, ultra-compact IXUS 100 is an impressive performer with good set of features at Rs 15k mark.

Review summary: While Casio lays claim to having some of the thinnest models around in its Exilim range, for our money the Ixus 100 IS is the sexiest. At about 17mm thick and almost exactly the same width and height as a credit card, it's the smallest Ixus Canon has...

Verdict: Easily the most desirable camera this month, but you pay for it.

Verdict: There are a few extra features over and above those found on the most basic point and shoot digital cameras. To make full use of these features will take a little longer to master.

Review summary: This small Ixus shooter was a joy to use but there were some slight specifications issues we had with it.

Verdict: The S$469 (US$365.09) Ixus 100 IS may be small, but it performs well for a stylish camera. The performance and image quality were decent, although the specifications of the optics are somewhat of a slight letdown. However, that probably won't stop...

Review summary: As you probably have heard by now, Microsoft (via the Mac BU (Macintosh Business Unit)) has a new version of Office 2008, with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Entourage, and (what once was iView) the newly renamed Expression Media. Probably the biggest and...

Verdict: All of these issues notwithstanding, this is a good release of Office. If you have Office X, I would recommend you update. If you have Office 2004 (and do not need or use VB), I would recommend that you consider upgrading. If you are a new Mac user...

Review summary: The sleek, solid-colored PowerShot SD780 IS performs very well, with great image quality, a powerful flash, nice high-ISO shots in low light, and more.

Verdict: This is a very slim-and-stowable camera, measuring just 0.7 inches thick and 3.4 inches wide; it’s about the size and thickness of a half-deck of playing cards. A durable plastic body surrounds the metal lens casing, and the contoured edges of the...
