Image Quality
Canon IXUS 210 fares well in image quality. It does better in outdoor settings and produces great colours and lighting. The 14megapixel is great for 8×10 photos but there will be a hint of purple tint to the image if printed larger.
Even indoor, even without flash, photos prove to retain its detail level.
Macro shot, which Canon lens do so well, is high quality.
The Canon IXUS 210 excels in its vibrant colours, which are well balanced too.
Canon boasts of its 24mm ultra wide-angle 5.0 zoom lens which is dubbed a great for capturing landscapes or group shots. It also has an image stabilizer that helps produce sharper photos.
High Definition movies
Canon is capable of taking 720p movie in HD, with an integrated HDMI port to connect to a compatible HDTV.
Creative Shooting
The Canon IXUS 210 has several pre-programmed creative modes including Low Light, which captures the natural ambience of a scene without flash; Miniature Effect, which creates a dramatic model-like landscape; and Fish-eye Effect, which recreates the distortion of a fish-eye lens and adds a fresh perspective.
Memory Cards
Like most Canon digicams there is no internal memory for the Canon IXUS 210 but is compatible with a SD, SDHC and SDXC memory card.
The Verdict
You’re buying this camera for its touchscreen feature and because it’s a Canon but for the price tag it may be a little steep.
Good quality camera, same as cameras of its class. Good touch screen function. However price doesn’t step up to its features.
The Alternative
Try a Sony TX1 touch screen digital camera.
