I noticed Canon announced a new range of IXUS Digital Cameras. I have a Canon IXUS 800IS. I like it a lot. It’s a 6 mega pixels and has a 4x optical zoom with Canon’s extremely good image stabiliser. The current model is the Canon IXUS 860IS which is 8Mp and has a 3.8 IS zoom. The just announced new Canon IXUS will come with 10Mp and a 5x optical IS zoom, and do a sub 1 inch macro shoot. Wow! Must be almost time for another upgrade The European model has yet to be announced but it will be in the 800 model range somewhere above 860. They’ll show up on Amazon somewhere here when they finally hit the shelves which I suspect will be before too long.
