Some overexposure when set fully automatic.
This is a very neat and effective pocket camera, particularly if you take most shots using non-manual settings. With auto-scene selection and the HS System improving performance in low light, it's hard to take a bad photo. Take time to learn its featur...

Smart, compact design; 1080p video recording; good selection of shooting options; HDMI output
Expensive; slight softness to some images
The Canon IXUS 220 HS offers a fair selection of features and pretty good performance, wrapped up in a small, stylish stainless-steel shell. Its price is rather hard to swallow, though....

Slim design; Well built; Good image quality
Shutter button sometimes feels too soft; Tracking focus wasn't always accurate
The key aspects of the Canon IXUS 220 HS camera are its thin frame, which makes it very easy to carry in a trouser pocket, and its image quality, which is clear and vibrant. It has a retail price of £169, but if you're after a good quality, slim, automati...

Excellent build, nice slim design, Picture quality in wide angle up to 800 ISO, 1080p HD video mode with optical zoom and stereo sound, Pleasant to use, clear controls and menus
Picture quality not quite as good in telephoto, Slower to switch on than previous models, Lowdefinition screen, Sound isn't particularly accurate
The Canon Ixus 220 HS is a nice surprise. It takes good-quality pictures, it's very well made and it's user-friendly. You'd be hard pushed to find anything better in the same price range....

If you are looking for a mid range pocket digital camera the Canon IXUS 220 HS offers good all round quality. It is a well made camera and is capable of handling most photo opportunities. Compared to a lot of pocket cameras it has a little extra class...
HDMI output, Good low-light performance, Suitable for camera beginners
Average speed performance, Some loss of sharpness at edges
The Canon IXUS 220 HS's power switch is slightly recessed into the top plate to prevent accidental activation when handling the camera. Give this a press and with a sprightly chirp the camera almost instantly bursts into life, LCD switching on and lens de...
