Customer Review: Excellent
I’ve used Lowepro pouches and cases for years, and this is definitely the best pouch series yet. It’s very small, but is well padded and you can use a neck strap or belt attachment. I prefer the belt bit myself, as that fits nicely on to a rucksack waistbelt, or even your trouser belt. It’s a rugged little thing and does the job perfectly. I use it with an Ixus 75, which fits snugly, including a spare battery and card.
Customer Review: The Business!
I had a Lowepro case for my old Camera and it was good - but this one is even better! I sell these often with Cameras and it makes people laugh when I demonstrate the waterproof cover for it that folds out from a flap on the bottom. It is sturdy, rugged and my ixus 70 sits snugly in it with room for cards and additional batteries. If black isn’t your colour it is also available in blue.

Customer Review: Great starter manual
This is exactly what I was looking for, a book which taught me the basics then applied them to different situations. I feel a lot more confident playing around with the settings on my camera and my photography has improved as a result. I like the way he has taken a photograph for each subject and then explained the settings on the right hand side. After reading the first two chapters I was able to cover up the settings, look at the photograph and predict what he had used. In no time at all I was grasping the logic and gaining confidence. A lovely book for beginners. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I also like the fact that he has explained commonly made errors in composition and lighting and illustrated the flawed results on the same page. I am starting to think about composition in a new way too. My photography skills were in a rut, this book has changed that.
Customer Review: Great for beginners and enthusiastic amateurs!
This is great if you’re keen but need a bit of practical guidance and some inspiration. This books shows you some inspirational shots as guidance and shows you the set up (eg where to stand, where to place your subject etc…) and tells you the ISO, aperture, shutter speed etc… for many of the pictures. It is jargon-free, easy to read and split into useful chapters, including portriats, moving objects, taking pictures of children, close ups, night shots, etc… People criticising this book have missed the point; it is MEANT to be simple, it isn’t aimed at people who are already pretty proficient at photographs, it is aimed at people like me who are moving on from a compact and need a bit of guidance to get the best from the camera. If that’s you then this is the book for you.
Canon IXUS 70 Digital Camera - Silver (7.1MP, 3x Optical Zoom) 2.5″ LCD 
List Price: ?249.00
Amazon Price: ?154.94
Customer Review: not all good news
the card and battery cover is worthy of a 10p toy very poor - worse still mine was deliverd with a fault - strong horz lines across the pictures and total over exposure in daylight. Let see how Canon respond this, one is scrap.
Customer Review: (Almost) Faultless
Bought this camera a year ago. The only niggle that I have is the lack of a battery meter. It is the best ‘point and shoot’ digital camera that I have used/owned. It is small and easy to use.
