Product Description
Product Description
Refined design
A destinctive curved design and three-tone metallic finish set the Digital IXUS 950 IS apart from the crowd. The convenient Touch Control Dial makes it easy to select menu features when shooting or browse captured images in playback. Useful functions can be assigned to the Shortcut button for one-touch access.
8.0 Megapixels
An 8.0 Megapixel sensor captures the fine detail in every scene, with enough resolution for photo-quality poster prints.
Powerful optics
The powerful 4x optical zoom lens incorporates Canon’s renowned optical Image Stabilizer technology to counteract camera shake. An Ultra-High Refractive Index Aspherical (UA) lens element ensures exceptional clarity throughout the zoom range.
DIGIC III with iSAPS
Canon's DIGIC III processor provides lightning quick responses, superb image quality and advanced noise reduction for sharper, clearer images. iSAPS technology analyses each scene to optimise key camera settings even before a shot is taken.
Face Detection AF/AE/FE
Face Detection AF/AE/FE ensures superb people shots by automatically detecting the subjects in the frame and selecting the optimum focus, exposure and flash settings. My Category tags each image based on face detection and shooting mode for easy navigation, printing, deleting and more.
Red-Eye Correction
During playback Face Detection Technology allows you to quickly and accurately correct red-eye.
PureColor LCD
A high resolution (230,000 pixels) PureColor LCD displays richer, vivid colours with sharp definition. An anti-glare, scratch-resistant coating adds extra protection against knocks and scrapes.
Sharp low-light shooting
Shoot clear, bright images in dim conditions with ISO 1600 - ideal for parties and restaurants or where flash photography is not allowed. Use Auto ISO Shift to avoid image blur with the touch of a button whenever camera shake is predicted.
Shooting modes and My Colors
A choice of 18 shooting modes includes Creative Light Effect - an innovative feature that uses the optical Image Stabilizer to create shapes from points of light in the background of dark scenes. My Colors allows colour effects to be applied to images and movies direct from the camera.
Movie options
Shoot 30fps VGA quality movies with stereo sound. Use the Time Lapse Movie function to capture changing scenes - a flower’s bloom, drifting clouds or a bustling city street - for accelerated playback as smooth video clips.`
Product Description
The Digital IXUS 950 IS artfully combines refined style with formidable performance. A 4x optical Image Stabilizer lens and pioneering technologies make stunning photography effortless.

I read all the reviews here good and not so good before deciding to go for this camera as my 'keep in my pocket' alternative to my lovely Canon 300D. It was a great price on Amazon.
I have to say I'm in love with this camera!
It oozes quality. It takes great pics, both with and without flash.
Good points:
Great feel and build quality with good pocketable size.
4 x optical zoom
superb flash - great for wide shots right down to macro.
large, sharp lcd viewfinder
optical viewfinder - still useful and sadly omitted from most these days.
superb image stabilizer - great when on the extreme of the 4x zoom.
lovely colour rendition and great detail in images
intuitive operation - really easy to use.
great video quality
good battery life
Bad points:
Connector flap is sometimes troublesome to shut properly.
All in all, I'd recommend this camera to anyone - I can't fault it!

I bought the Ixus 950 IS as its now so difficult to travel abroad with my digital SLR (one hand bag and all). I was especially attracted by the image stabilisation as camera shake was a big problem on my old Sony compact. c.500 shots later I'm really impressed, in the right conditions (good light, outdoors) picture quality really can rival my EOS 350.
A word of warning on battery - for some strange reason there doesn't seem to be a battery life indicator and I have been caught out with a flat battery twice. Battery life is good and it charges quickly, but if you are shooting a lot of pictures in a day get one or more spare batteries. This is a bit annoying as it was bought to be compact you then have to carry around a spare battery pack as well, which doesn't fit in the case.
But overall a good solid compact and at the current price an absolute bargain!

Owned an 850is before this 950 and I am absolutely delighted with it and what a fantastic bargain as it's £40 cheaper now compared to when I bought the 850. There are a number of really good improvements over the earlier camera - The scene setting control is now much more user friendly and the results are amazing - I've submitted two pics under customer images to show this, one using the macro setting, the other on the firework setting and I'm really chuffed with them. The video is excellent for quality and in the time lapse setting is really funny and probably has many useful applications, now all I have to do is think of them!
Overall I love the feel of it, seems really solid and well put together, takes great pictures with no effort.
I would strongly recommend buying the Canon DCC-70 case to protect it, I kept my 850 in a cheap 'pattern' case and the velour interior caused severe abrasion to the LCD screen, the lining on this case is a silk like material and therefore doesn't touch the screen. So definitely worth NOT penny pinching.

Fantastic pictures from this camera, except for ones taken with flash. The red eye reduction does not work very well and all our pictures using flash are awful. Read more
