Digit-Life has posted a review on the Canon Digital IXUS Camera.
The image size - 1600X1200 pixels - is enough in the vast majority of cases, and for other cases there is a possibility to stick together several frames in one (PhotoStitch program in provided). Remember that according to the experiments the number of lines higher than 1100-1200 does not yield further improvement in perception of images by a human.Read more
The dynamic range of brightness is not the best one, only 8 bit per channel. But in the majority of pictures the bright colors and deep shades correspond to slow-moving frame´s elements, and if you are not lazy you can make two shots with exposure correction +2 and -2, and to get the virtual 12 bit per channel, and then, working on transmission bands when matching these shots in PhotoShop, receive a high-detailed image both in shades and in the light. (Unfortunately, PhotoStitch refused to work with images differing 16 times in brightness). That´s why you´d better not spend the precious memory for odd resolution and dynamic range (which are anyway absent in this camera), and just make additional shots when necessary.
