Great value for money. Quality is superb.

Pros: Size, speed and quality
Cons: Battery life
Opinion:
This is my fourth digital camera. My first was a Pentax Optio 30 (or something like that). Did not last too long. Died shortly after warranty. Went for 1 repair (cost SGD 200+). Died again. Decided to go for the IXUS 400. Great product and still working after >2 years. Was also given a Casio EX-S100 - batter life is good but quality is so-so. Wanted a good slim camera and compared the Panasonic (bigger), Sony (Proprietary Memory Card), and the Canon S80 (too bulky). The IXUS 55 produces almost the same quality video and photo as the S80 and is much more affordable. Haven't regretted so far.
