I really cannot fault this camera, I have owned many digital camera, usually cheaper brands that are scarcely known. This 12.1 MP camera gives amazingly crystal-clear photographs. I actually own a cheaper brand 12.1 MP camera also, and there really is no comparison in the picture quality!

Crystal clear picture; high quality components; easy to use & brilliant features

None spring to mind

A little pricier than most budget cameras, but its styling, features, photo quality and video quality are all in a different league.

If you're looking for a camera that gives you all round performance in terms of value, reliability, and good looks, the Canon IXUS 115 HS could well be the one.

I looked long and hard for a digital camera that had both excellent quality in taking stills and shooting HD video. I wanted these features, but in a camera that was compact enough to fit in my pocket (otherwise I knew it wouldn't get used as much) while I was out and about.

Price; quality-of both stills and Full HD video; compact size; ease of use; design/style

Can't think of any
