This review was educational for me and very helpful. I have the Canon IXUS 960 IS, purchased November 2007 on special at an airport display. It was not the least expensive choice, but value for price was good, compared with the camera I had been using and considering the improved capture ability with Image Stabilisation. The IXUS 960 is lighter than my Sony CyberShot, a big plus while travelling. The battery is lightweight and long-lasting. Combined with extra SanDisk 4GB memory, this camera seems to be a perfect travel companion.

The instructions came in various foreign languages; while learning to use the camera, I have been winging it. In his review, Mark Goldstein has mentioned features I was unaware of and explained others to my better understanding. The in-depth discussions of image quality and specifications were especially helpful and will help when shooting photos. The content of this review has reassured me that I made a good decision to get this model.
