Hey I'm doing quite a bit of traveling this year and am in the market for a compact digicam.
I had an ixus and really liked it but it got nicked. Keen to get another. Anyone have the 500 or the 550 or even the 750? Keen for your thoughts on them. Ta.
Small and good manula featured is what i'm after.

hey toe_knee - how are ya?
ive just bought a lumix 5mbp with the leica lens, it's great.ive used an ixus a bit too - the ixus 50, good lens, nice shots, but not huge res.

I have the 750.
Quite pleased with it. It will shoot 7m pixels, but I wonder how much good this is when the lenses on these compact cameras are so small. It's takes some tweeking to get good low light shots, and the standard point and shoot mode wont cut it - but I'd never use it anyway.The macro is excellent.

I can post a few shots from it if you wish...

Hey moth yeah post a few pics if its not any trouble. Is the 750 bigger than the 550/500? gonna buy online as dont have time for the highstreet carry on.

Bigger? It's tiny. Much the same size I'd guess.

Bit shot with it to be honest - what is it that you 'tweak' to get the good lowlight shots?
cheers ears,
