The Canon ELPH 100 HS is a 12.1 Megapixel slim compact with a 4x stabilised zoom and a 3in screen. Announced in February 2011, it's the entry-level model in this year's ELPH / IXUS line-up and is known outside North America as the IXUS 115 HS.

Super-slim stylish compact design; 1080p24 HD movie mode; Scene mode movies and super slo-mo; Excellent image quality

Lengthy linear exposure mode menu; Average continuous shooting speeds; No optical zoom in video modes; Mono mic

If I keep saying it long enough I might believe it, it's not pink, it's not pink it's purple. Here I am looking at one of Canon s latest Ixus cameras, the 115HS . Its purple but I am very pleased to say that is only one of the colours it comes in.

The Canon IXUS 115 HS is a classy looking, pocket digital camera. At around 20mm wide it should slip into more or less any pocket. Canon have produced four different coloured versions of the IXUS 115 HS. These are pink, silver, grey and blue. It has 12 megapixels and a 4x zoom lens.

Easy to read menu screens - picture quality - advanced movie features - LCD screen - build quality

Shutter delay with flash

Canon's latest IXUS HS model combines both stylish design with a strong specification, but how does it shape up on the testing bench? Our Canon IXUS 115 HS review finds out...

Excellent design; slim body; good image quality; reasonable price tag

LCD screen not the highest specification; no manual control; missing a few features

I bought this after returning a Nikon which took poor pictures. The picture quality is very good and is very easy to use. Build quality is up to usual Canon standards. It captures moving objects like pets really well and the clever auto mode chooses all the settings and gets it right.

The Canon IXUS 115 HS compact camera outshines many of its rivals in terms of performance, features and usability. It's not exactly a munter either.

Gorgeous design; Large; clear LCD display; Easy to use; 1080p video capture; Strong performance

Slightly soft images; Possible to get a more versatile camera for a similar price

With so many cameras announced last year, I sort of overlooked reviewing the Canon PowerShot Elph 100 HS. And that's kind of a shame. When it was released in the first half of 2011, it was Canon's least expensive camera with a backside-illuminated CMOS sensor , which gives better low-light photos...

The Canon PowerShot Elph 100 HS is a very good value; offering good photo and video quality outside and indoors; lots of fun shooting modes; and decent shooting performance for its class

The 100 HS' photos look soft; even at lower ISOs; and its autofocus is regularly inaccurate

Had a ixus 100 before, 115 hs is better at most things, f 2.8 makes it easier to take pictures indoors without a flash. Shoots well in full HD, but unfortunately only the digital zoom då.Går to take decent series of pictures. Watch Pure purchases!

My dad bought me this camera for my birthday in September 2011, and I absolutely LOVE it. I am an amateur photographer, and this camera is perfect for someone who is looking to dip their feet into the world of photography.

good battery life; Good Low-Light Performance; Nice features/settings; excellent image quality; durable; Bright LCD; Lightweight/Portable; Simple controls/menu; easy to use; good macro; great portraits

8 x 10's a bit pixelated
