A pocketable Canon
The Canon IXUS 860 IS looks like a decent pocket digital camera. I have a good DSLR for the more serious photography but would love something I can carry around at all times. I had a look at other pocket digital cameras such as the Canon PowerShot series with their manual controls, some of the Nikons and so on but the simple Canon IXUS seems best. It doesn’t have manual controls but frankly I don’t want them on something like this, I just want the moment of shooting without aperture, shutter and other controls. I’ll just fiddle about if I were given the option.
Especially nice in this IXUS 860 IS (SD870 IS in the States) is the 28mm “wide” angle lens. A good deal better than the usual 36mm which really bugs me when using most pocket digital cameras.
DPReview has a decent review of it. Flickr has some photos taken with the 860 IS.
Do you have any other recommendations in this range?
