Canon Ixus 500 Digital Camera Reviews

Real life performance is just average
Feb 11, 2016 04:08 PM 2421 Views

Canon IXUS 155 is a 20mp camera from canon . I purchased this camera from local shop near my city and with a little bargaining I got a very good deal of 6500?. And after using this camera about 1 month I am giving review of this camera .


At normal daylight photos the output of the camera is pretty decent and the picture were pretty much decent but not upto the mark, I know the price to performance ratio and according to my other friend suggest also the worst camera to use.


The only pros I consider is the low price other than that nothing is spectacular .


it's better to invest little more and buy a sony point and shoot cam which is value for money.

No good quality
Feb 10, 2016 01:03 PM 2408 Views (via Mobile)

In the wake of testing the IXUS 150 I was quick to experiment with this model as it's the "following one up" in the IXUS scope of reduced which have been for the most part really great or if nothing else the ones I had gone for to date.


The IXUS 155 is fundamentally the same to the 150 model with the principle contrasts being the bigger 10x zoom range(35 mm comparable: 24 - 240 mm) and the change from a 16mp CCD sensor to a 20mp one. The main move being a decent one as the more extensive 24mm field of perspective is really valuable esp for scene or gathering shots, in any case I'm not exactly as enthusiastic about the picture quality.


A speedy rundown of the more grounded and weaker purposes of the model


Great:




  • Handy zoom range 24-240mm is great both at the wide end and a better than average telephoto reach




  • Build is very great with a metal body




  • Fairly straightforward and simple to utilize however with some insightful modes which work great and more night shooting is conceivable with a maximum of 15 seconds presentation




  • White equalization and self-adjust are very reliable with few issues noted




  • Video mode is fine with 720p as opposed to full HD yet satisfactory at this value point(AF works genuinely well in video as well and you can zoom)




  • Good "1cm" full scale mode at the wide edge end permits some sensible large scale abilities




  • Has an outer battery charger(turning out to be progressively less normal on numerous lower valued compacts)




Nice

It has 8 times zoom capacity. It can click good quality images even in low light but we cannot record a video in low light as flash does not work in recording mode. I got 8GB memory card, usb cable, battery, battery charger, Carrying case and wrist strap with this camera. I really like this camera . It can be fit in pocket and it has very stylish design. It records 720p HD videos.

The pocket bomb
Jan 30, 2016 01:39 AM 2835 Views

It is a truth that DSLR takes outstanding photos, but most of the time it is difficult to carry BIG DSLRs. Generally for most of the photographers, it is a practice to carry a secondary small camera always for some instant shots. I must say Canon Ixus 220HS is a camera which any one will love to carry along. Lets discuss the features in detail




  1. Size - Very small/compact, light weight and fits into any small pocket without letting others know. But due to smaller size it is difficult to place it on even smooth surface, it will fall. Tripod needs to be used or hand held.




2 Picture quality - One of the best in its category. Im still using this camera and very satisfied with the picture quality. Though the pictures come out to be little reddish but still clarity, sharpness, details are great. This IXUS range is designed to take great low light images. It is a great camera for low light images. You will be amazed to see the photos taken in twilight. Closeup/macro shots also come out to be very good.




  1. Video - Also very good and smooth. But only drawback is it takes a lot of memory space.




  2. Zoom - Optical zoom, 5x quite good with this small size and meets the requirement.






Conclusion - Though it is hardly available now, but if found it will be a smart decision to buy and keep one. It was launched at around 16K, I got one at 10K and finally it came down to 6K. But small size, metal body, good picture and video quality make this a pocket bomb.

Best for casual photography and slickest design!
Jan 22, 2016 12:36 AM 3539 Views

Initially I was using an old canon power shot model; recently got the new IXUS 275HS and this is the update to earlier 265HS.and features a 20 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, an update over the 16 megapixel sensor in the 265, and features a 12x optical zoom lens, image stabilization and built in Wi-Fi and NFC .


Its an ultra slim and very compact model and thinner edges to hold; this might make slippery in handling but looks is above all this, just get a strap to get over it.


Built in NFc enables to connect to your device app to control it further.


In good light, auto focusing speeds are pretty rapid, dropping a little when the light is lower.


Battery life is rated at 185 shots according to Canon but I take 250 shots in Eco mode easily.But I would recommend a spare battery if you want to shoot more.


Navigation is easy as well as wifi connectivity to social networks also.


Performance is very good as well as the effects and color reproductions are very accurate.


Cons


Less batery life without eco mode


No auto HDR mode


Noise in images


This camera is built for casual photography with lots of granular settings and definitely worth your money.


Other brand cameras worth comparing are **Sony Cyber-shot WX220,


Nikon Coolpix S7000, Panasonic Lumix SZ10*


Am a satisfied customer as I do some casual photography even and it is best for me to carry where ever I go and best in the budget.

Canon IXUS 265 HS
Jan 05, 2016 10:30 AM 2406 Views

Canon has launched 1200d dslr before some months. it is the best camera for the one who has just started to learn taking photos from dslr. I have bought it a month ago and the clarity is just awesome. the slr comes with a 18-55mm lens, the lens is really very good. there are various modes given in the dslr so you can take pics as you want. camera comes with 32 gb memory card. camera looks stylish from outside. you can also record videos from this dslr. you can also adjust shutter speed, so if you want to take fast pics you can take it by adjusting the speed.battery can last long for a longer period of time.the price is not so much high compared to other dslr. I havent found any problem in this camera till now.

Canon IXUS 130- Power Shot
Oct 03, 2015 11:21 PM 2911 Views

The product is also known as Power shot IXUS because it is slimmest digital camera. It has 14MP camera, where the picture quality is high and stills are perfect to the capture.


The video has a 1280 X 720 Pixles video footage. It has the best battery life, it has the programmable option,


Picture quality and video are best, this suits perfectly to the people who are buying less than 10000, would recommend to buy it.

Excelent Camera With Best Picture Quality.
Sep 29, 2015 04:36 AM 3156 Views (via Mobile)

This is a really good camera. Took ages to decide between this and a few others but very glad I choose this one.


The large screen is brilliant and really clear which was a big selling point with me. it looks really nice and is so simple to understand.


I love the digital macro feature which lets you take up close clear pictures. Also the my colours feature is good fun to play around with.


The pictures are great quality. The price on amazon compared to in the shops is an amazing difference, definetley worth buying from here.


The battery doesn't last as long as I would like it to though. The first time I used it continuesly it lasted around 2 hours, and didnt give much of a warning before it ran out. So I have ordered a second.


The only other bad point in my opinion is the view finder as it is very small and difficult to see through if you don't want the LCD screen on.


Despite this I still love it and wouldnt change it to any other camera.

IT'S HIGH CLASS WITH CANON
Sep 25, 2015 03:14 PM 2452 Views

I was looking for a digital camera under Rs10, 000 which could give me some decent quality pics.Canon IXUS 130(black) is the one which I purchased online in 2013.and this is an amazing electronic product.


This camera ensures that you don't have to worry for the quality when compared to those of high price cameras.It's features are:


1.Camera pixels: 14.1


2.Digital and optical zoom: 4x


3.Lens type: 1 double sided and 1 single sided aspherical UA lens.


4.LCD Display(2.7 inches)


5.Image Format: JPEG & DPOF version.


6.Video Format: MOV


7.Flash range: about 30cm to 4m, along with red eye reduction.


8.USB cable connector.


9.Memory Card: SD, SDHC, SDXC, MMC, MMCplus, HC MMC plus


10.Battery: Rechargeable Li-ion.


11.Scene and motion detection technology.


12.It also has Face detection, self timer, miniature effect, fish-eye effect.


13.One year warranty.


I am really impressed with the unique ultra-slim design which makes it quite easy to carry around(weighs around 130g). Its build quality is high and is metal bodied.There are 22 presets to choose from for the pure point.


SUBJECT TRACKING is an additional feature that helps in focussing much better at movimg objects.The optical image stabiliser helps when it becomes a little shaky.The face detection  can recognise upto 35 faces in a particular frame held at a time.


There are some aspects in which this camera lacks such as:


1.Touch screen


2.3D capturing


3.Complete manual shot taking option.


But still, these features are something which you can't expect at these price ranges.This Canon camera provides you the ultimate resources for nice photography sessions at a really reasonable cost.


If your budget is less than Rs 10, 000, go for Canon.

But no worries, It was awesome to use and to fun click a photo & make the moment memorable. Its in very affordable prices, I bought this only Rs5600. & along with camera I got battery charger, camera pouch, data cable & battery charger.


There are few benefits which I felt are


a) Camera in affordable price.

The only issue which I felt is bad that images quality in night are not that good as compare to day, apart from that its really cool camera in affordable price.

Canon a true value for your photo memories.
Sep 12, 2015 06:37 PM 3154 Views

When it comes to photography there is no one that can beat canon in terms of image quality. I was very keen to become a photographer since my childhood, though I cannot affors a dslr I have bought this master piece for my normal photography. I have been using 860 is since last one and half year and it a great value for money product. it comes with a 12 mega pixel and 4X zoom, its very quite sufficient for potriat photography. the images look very crisp and clear without any distortion. after a small post photography the images really look like taken from a dslr. it comes with a 2 year canon india warranty. the only con I could mention is that full charge just gives you around 250-300 shots but its quite enough for a full day.

The best you can get it at this price
Sep 09, 2015 10:17 AM 3553 Views

The best you can get it at this price. To anyone who is in a dilemma of whether this is the camera for them or not, if you are a beginner or an intermediate photographer, or you want this just to capture the moments in your life, just go for it. I got the camera in 2 days. The Auto and Eco modes are great. I clicked a few really good pics. So obviously, the camera is awesome. And definitely a great catch at this price. The battery backup is great and the battery actually stays up till around 225-240 clicks in normal mode and~300 in Eco mode. Amazon is the way to go! I'd give amazon and this product 6/5 if I could.


A really very slim, wonderful, heavy duty, well performing, good build quality and very handy to use, so many good features to explore your shooting capabilities or in auto mode, let the camera let it do for you, either in dark night or sunny day, wonderful bright and realistic, full resolution HD pics and video.


Great VFM camera for low budget shootings :-)
Sep 08, 2015 01:35 AM 2689 Views

Best budget all rounder in all point and shoot cameras. canon 1000 hs is a semi digital camera with 2, 0 aperture. for the last party we had this camera to click snapshots for the birthday party. though no one bats an eye until unless its an slr, we were shocked when our friend uploaded the pictures on Facebook.


The next time when we met I had my hand on with this tiny monster, it comes with 12 mega pixel, it has a 8X zoom as well, under full zoom the picture may be distorted but with normal zoom and landscape photography this camera is a beast, but with a little post photography you can create a wonder images. this camera just costs 8500 bucks and gives you a full satisfactory and full value for money. Recommended 5/5.


A steal deal from Canon - IXUS 155
Sep 08, 2015 12:13 AM 8107 Views

While you're on the hunt to find the perfect camera to capture the best moments from your life and if you're an inexpert in the range of cameras like me; it's definitely not an easy task to find the'right' camera for yourself. But then again, what is the right camera?


Let me just explain in a layman's language with my limited knowledge. If you're looking for rookie photography or in other words, a beginner's idea of operation a camera, go for the budget range ones i.e. <10000. But, if you're someone who wants to take up photography as a passion or profession, the DSLR's are the answer to your query but you should know that these DSLR's are not cheap and buying lenses alone costs more than the budget cameras and the DSLR's may range from 30, 000 to even in lac's.


So then, while I was on the lookout for a camera for my basic camera requirements i.e. taking photos during family functions and therefore a simple camera, with all the basics included and easy to operate were my top priorities while searching for a camera.


I went into nearby camera outlets and asked which company is the best and I was told it should either be Canon or Nikon.


I personally have always been fond of the Canon brand, maybe due to the fact that my father bought a Canon in the 1990's and it worked fine for the next 20 years. Therefore, I summed up that I should go for the canon brand and searched through online sites and finally went for the "Canon Ixus 155" point and shoot camera, which costed me around 6800(including SD card+ camera pouch).


Coming to the review of the product.


Service: the service part is actually a credit to Flipkart, as I ordered the camera from there and in fact, in the nearby outlets to my house, the same camera costed around 9, 000 and so this was pretty much a very fair and cheap discounted deal. Moreover, the free camera pouch and 8 GB SD card+ camera battery was an added benefit for a rookie camera user like me.


Easy usage:  the usage of the camera and the initial process(first time operating) was extremely easy for me. I was able to insert the battery with ease, also inserted the SD card as per the vivid instructions given in the manual provided by Canon and I was set to take the photos.


Quality:  the quality of Canon IXUS 155 is pretty decent. It's 20 MP with 10 px Zoom but don't expect too much, don't be unrealistic. At 7, 000 you can't hope to get the same experience as that of a DSLR. The camera fits into the usage of taking photos during family functions with good lightning and is ONLY suitable for such photography, strictly a NO for those who are looking for cameras to take high quality, extremely detailed photos.


==Durability: == I've been using the camera since the last 1 year and touch-wood; there has been no grave issue to be reported here. But I must mention, I'm not a frequent at taking photos and I've taken 20 photos on a trot with this camera only once or thrice in the last one year and hence I'll get a better idea about's it's durability in the coming months. Having said that, so far so good.


Videos:  Nothing much to say here. Decent HD video quality and good enough to take videos in good lightning, there are a few features available(editing) to enhance quality of the video and the videos come out in moderate sizes(not too large).


==Should you buy it? ==


Well, it depends. Answer these 2 questions 1) Are you a rookie at photography and looking to learn basics of operation a camera? 2) Is your budget limited and you cannot afford to go for more than 10, 000?


If the answers to the above questions is a YES then look no forward, Canon IXUS 155 is the camera that you're looking for.


In comparison to Sony, Canon is around 1500 much cheaper and currently Flipkart shows Ixus 155 out of stock but priced at 5, 000 - so in fact the price of the camera has gone down a few thousand since I last checked(2500-3000) to be precise but that does not mean that the camera does not has it's share of the market demand or else it would still be in stock.


A 20 MP with 10X zoom and easy to operate, costing just around 5000-6000 is a steal deal and the answer to the queries of photography beginners like me.


PS: the battery is chargeable and takes around 1.5-2 hrs to charge which is quite fine considering that once full charged, you can easily take photos for around 45 minutes and the battery sustains for more than 15-20 days without charging if camera is not being operated.
