IXUS 65
Can't sleep now, here is some information about my new toy. So like any man with a new toy at Christmas I've just been playing with my new IXUS 65. Snapping everything and everyone, annoyingly so. I finally started to read some reviews and feature guides for the camera. Basic point and shoot is good. Excellent. Cannon have pretty much stayed out of the mega pixel race but still producing awsome cameras buy sticking decent lenses in their offerings. The IXUS 65 is no exception.
Noticeably slimmer than it's predecessor and with a much larger and brighter screen. I can make these claim by the way not because I've read them on CNET but because my newly engaged brother and his wife to be visited, and she has the older IXUS. Father has an older Cannon Power shot, which when purchased lagged behind in mega pixels but had a large aperture and lets tonnes of light into the sensor.
My 65 also wins out in the speed stakes. You press the shutter release and it's already taken a picture and as long as no post processing is required it is read for the next one. If post processing has been requested this can vary depending on what you've asked it todo and obviously how long the shutter was staying open for.
The neatest feature I've found also has some synchronicity with digg recently. An article on colorizations, which I can't find now (No it wasn't cool enough to receive a digg from me) but there are two similar articles here and here.
Whilst those tutorial can bring an area under a brush back to colour, the IXUS 65 can do it on board, whilst purists, even me will denounce this method, preferring to take as much data as possible over to the computer and edit there the fact that we now have cameras capable of doing this on board at a high resolution demonstrates how manufactures are competing outside of the mega pixel domain.
The results of my IXUS 65 keeping Orange hues in the shot and de-saturating everything else can be seen below.
Original for comparison
