A number of camera models across several manufacturers used a Sony CCD that was prone to failure. Canon put out a general recall in late 2005 on affected models and serial numbers. [74] [75] Models from the IXUS range are the v 3, II, and IIs. Canon has issued a support advisory stating it will repair affected cameras free of charge. [76] [77] This free repair service for Canon cameras with defective CCD image sensors is gradually being phased out; in the UK, the free service end date for IXUS II cameras was 31 January 2011.

Or rather than learning the icons and second-guessing the camera, you could simply relax and trust the IXUS 130 / SD1400 IS as it does a pretty good job of recognising the scene and choosing the best settings for it. In practice, the camera seamlessly switches between portrait mode with face detection when pointed at a person, or into macro mode when placed close to a subject.

Like other Canon compacts, there’s no built-in memory, so you’ll need to fit a card before you can take any photos or video. Canon recommends cards rated as Class 4 or faster to smoothly support the HD video, but at least that includes affordable models like SanDisk’s Ultra II range; we verified Ultra II cards worked fine with the HD movie mode. The SD slot is housed in the battery compartment, and alongside the door, just off-centre is a metal tripod thread. In terms of low light shooting, when switching off the built-in flash and utilising available light we were pleasantly surprised by the camera’s performance over and above ISO400, with noise not really creeping in until ISO800 and then only very subtly. At ISO1600 we are beginning to lose definition across the image, but unlike on even cheaper compacts, the result still resembles a photograph rather than a watercolour painting, and thus, we felt this was a setting we might find ourselves reaching for if push came to shove.
