Cannon’s IXUS series of digital cams hit shelves

The IXUS 70 (??250, pictured top and centre) and IXUS 75 (??270, pictured bottom) swap the IXUS 60 and IXUS 65 correspondingly. As judged against to the older variants, the new cameras propose an amplified image resolution of 7.1 megapixels, now that??™s something even for the professionals and a two-tone, black-circle-on-silver-box design that reminds of the original film-based IXUS. Canon has also rejuvenated its stereotyped obsolete image to promote the new designs (if you’re more into modern minimalism and taking photos while clothed, the IXUS 70 also comes in silver on silver).
The only difference between the IXUS 70 and a bit more expensive IXUS 75 is the LCD on the flipside of the camera. The IXUS 70 has a 64mm (2.5-inch) LCD, leaving ample room for an optical viewfinder, whereas the IXUS 75 has a slightly bigger 76mm (3-inch) LCD and no viewfinder, that??™s bad. In the stereotypical nutshell, if you’re going to slide the camera into the back pocket of your jeans and take photos of your friends when you’re out partying, you want the IXUS 75. If you plan to explode it into your bag so you can take photos of the kids on the beach during your summer holiday, go for the IXUS 70, I am surely of the opinion that you’ll find the optical viewfinder more useful than a bigger LCD
