Editorial Review:
If you enjoyed using the Digital IXUS 70IS, then youre going to love its successor, the Digital IXUS 85IS! This camera comes with a high-resolution 10-megapixel sensor and a sensitivity range going up to 1600 ISO, so you can take photos just like a pro. Those of you who are particular about optical viewfinders will be glad to hear that the Digital IXUS 85IS has one above the 2.5 screen equipped with a real-image zoom, meaning you can set up your shot with ease. The PureColor II LCD screen also gives you complete control over your creations, because you can adjust its brightness and viewing angle. Its 3x optical zoom and optical image stabiliser allow you to get up closer to your subjects, while its face detection mode, along with its other settings, bring out the best in your snaps by eliminating blur caused by camera shake. Taking the perfect picture has never been easier than with the Digital IXUS 85IS!
