Canon Camera Review

Small, elegant, great design, quality of pictures, easy-to-use. Are you an average person, who just seeks for a camera, that will help him to photograph his daily life? Well, your search from a model has to be cut down to a search for the nearist digital store, because you need The Digital IXUS, which is a series of digital cameras released by Canon. The Digital IXUS series, based on the design of Canon's IXUS/IXY/ELPH line of APS cameras, is a line of ultracompact cameras.

Canon considers the following problems design faults and will often repair devices with these particular faults free after the warranty period. You must however ascertain whether a particular service centre will perform a repair for you.

There is a bug in the firmware that can cause the IXUS 400 (and possibly other cameras with the same firmware) to display the message 'Memory card error' after the camera has been in use for some time. Contrary to the message there may not necessarily be anything wrong with the memory card. There are descriptions of the fix available which pretty much amounts to taking the internal and external battery out at the same time in order to reset the camera.

A number of camera models across several manufacturers used a Sony CCD that was prone to failure. Canon put out a general recall in late 2005 on affected models and serial numbers. Models from the Ixus range are the v3, II and IIs. Like all compacts with a zoom lens, the Ixus range are susceptible to lens errors if the lens is unable to zoom in or out. On Canon cameras, this manifests as the E18 error.
