Canon PowerShot IXUS 240HS

 

This fashionable camera offers an array of shooting options

Expert review by:

Canon IXUS 240 HS review

 

A point-and-shoot compact camera aimed at the fashion-conscious, tech-savvy photographer with a hatred of wires.

Styling ; Effects ; Fast shutter response ; Great in low light

Confusing menu system ; Unresponsive touchscreen ; Poorly implemented Wi-Fi

Expert review by:

Canon IXUS 240 HS

 

Excellent image quality ; Resistive touchscreen as good as they get

Low HD video frame rate ; Interface has a few quirks ; More zoom would be nice

We wouldn't complain if the 240HS (or its successor) had a longer zoom lens or was able to capture HD video at a higher frame rate, but the Canon IXUS 240HS proves that quality can easily overcome quantity.

Beautifully compact and slips into the pocket so that you don't know it's there yet has a lens that goes from wide angle to x12 telephoto. Large bright screen for composing but screen not very responsive to the touch, best to use stylus attached to...

Fantastic little camera

 

The emphasis being on little, as this is small, but very comfortable to hold and take pictures with. I bought it because of its wifi capability. I have seen other reviews of this camera which say the wifi is fiddly to set up, absolutely not the case,...
