Canon Digital IXUS 120 IS

For the first time I get to a Fuji compacts to Canon. Although I was aware that reaches the Canon sensor smaller and therefore a not quite as big resolution, but the following points have convinced me of the Ixus 120is:

+ Housing is unbeatable small, sweet, smart and generous, as it were, a hand and Augenschmeichler
+ Wide angle of 28mm
+ If balanced image quality at wide angle, telephoto, at 12 megapixels or different lighting conditions
+ Very quick and unerring focus and exposure
+ Virtually no color noise
+ Very good color reproduction
+ Adjustable sharpness, color, saturation and contrast
+ Surprisingly low vignetting
+ Very fast switching and triggering
+ Gimmicks like automatic rotation, until deleting, categories, self-timer when the face in the viewfinder, with smiles, Blink, exposure assessment, etc.

HD video and panoramic photos I have Nocht not made, but they are possible and thus also an advantage.

o sharpness falls off quickly but flat to the edge, still nice and sharp corners in total
o Operation is getting used to (different menus)
o i-Contrast and image stabilizer useful only in very specific shooting situations, since one must not expect too much
- Buttons are very fiddly
- Unfortunately, no opt. Not sure how the Ixus 100is
- Using the features of the battery lasts much longer than 100 recordings
- No manual exposure (shutter speed of 1 to 15 seconds in night mode selectable)
- No internal memory
- Battery compartment cover is a questionable plastic-breakage-construction
- Made in China

Because of the many helpful features and size for this camera very well balanced and coordinated quality from design to quality, I find these ultra compact highly recommended! For me, at this point a schnappschu?taugliche-Always-In-Ultra compact camera with 28mm wide angle and good picture quality more important than a 10-fold zoom or pixel Protz. The latter gets you prefer a DSLR.
