Camera
Canon IXUS 155 - £129
The stylish IXUS 155 with 20 Megapixels and 10x ultra-wide optical
zoom captures every detail no matter how far away. Smart Auto and
Intelligent IS ensure brilliant results every time you point and shoot.
Whether it’s that unforgettable moment or just relaxing with friends,
the IXUS 155 delivers beautiful results every time. Canon’s Smart
Auto technology analyses every scene for you and automatically
selects the right settings from 32 situations, so that you only have to
worry about framing the shot. It has a handy ‘Help’ button too, which
explains the cameras’ key features, and gives you quick tips on how
to capture the best shot, whatever your level of expertise.
If you enjoy experimenting with picture settings, a range of easy-touse ‘Creative Effects’ allows you to change the entire look and feel of
an image instantly, with effects that includes Miniature, Fish-eye and
Toy Camera modes – offering the potential to capture unique, quirky
and totally different shots of the same scene.
