Canon IXUS 185 Digital Camera - Black

This is a really great camera to carry around with me. It takes photos in an easy and accessible way. It has a high res photo setting. Has Macro and automatic and manual and all the usual settings including a decent zoom I have had zero problems with it and am very happy. This is the cheapest in the Ixus range and I have also one that is of higher spec but it has become faulty after many years of use. I am happy now with this new one.

I wanted a simple camera, which I could take with me on travels where i don't want to be carrying around an expensive one, which might attract unwanted attention. The Canon Ixus 185 fits the bill perfectly - it is simple to use, has a useful 8 times zoom controlled from a little dial, and it can be carried easily in a jacket or jeans pocket. It is roughly credit card sized long and about the thickness of a finger. The images are really good and I have included a couple of photographs taken in different conditions to give examples of what it can do easily in different light conditions. For the price this is an excellent little camera -and i am delighted with it

This is a nice decent camera for everyday use. Convenient size for pocket or bag. Easy to connect to pc to download pics. Not Wi-fi, but you can buy memory cards that are (which is what I use). Compact and light enough to slip into a pocket.

Great quality and picture quality for domestic use. I love to print my photos and keep my phone uncluttered.

Sadly I cannot give this camera a good star rating. It is a lovely camera. Simple to set up and use. However, it comes without a USB cable, so if you would want to download your photos you have to buy this separately. I may not be a terribly technically minded person, but to me this is a little like selling a car without all four wheels having tyres - very nice and you can sort of use it, but not really... You get the most basic of instructions in a rather large booklet and have to download the full manual. Oh, when did good service die..? I must getting old, but I remember the days when products came with all you needed, including an instruction book you could hold in your hand and a CD to download your camera to your laptop.

Quite a miracle of small scale technology... I wanted a point-and-shoot camera to supplement my bulkier SLR, now used mainly as a process camera and the IXUS does all that I could want. It takes some nice photographs too. It's well-made, easy to operate, goes in my pocket and uses a memory card that is almost universal. Don't waste money on anything cheaper!

Build quality seems good, image quality is quite acceptable for a camera that fits into a pocket and is easy to carry around. Screen image image is bright enough except for very sunny conditions and of course there is no viewfinder, it doesn't come with a USB cable and the camera has a mini B socket so the one from most devices will not fit. Battery has to be removed and charged in its own cradle so you can't charge it on the go from a USB outlet so you need to keep an eye on how much power is left. Special settings such as exposure control and filter are useful and if you don't leave it to start on auto then your preferred settings are still there on restart. One small niggle is that the settings buttons are quite small and fiddly. I found this a far superior camera to the Sony DCSW800 that I tried for a couple of days before sending back.

Love this camera. It has a great lens which, produced really good pictures and is very easy to use. I've been through a few point and shoots in the last few years and have always been disappointed in the quality of the photos. I shall hang on to this one. I like everything about it.

Comes with a Electrical 13A Fused 3 Pin Plug that is useless in most countries and no cord to transfer pictures off of the device. Buy at own risk

The camera is great but has a cheap plastic body. Handle with care!

J'ai le plaisir d'avoir pu remplacer l'appareil Canon Ixus, devenu inutilisable, que j'ai employé pendant plusieurs années. J'apprécie en plus de ses bonnes performances photographiques, sa légèreté et son petit format.
