Yes
So my wife has decided she wants a new point and shoot for christmas.

She wants something not too bulky, the smaller in size the better to be honest, it also needs to have optical zoom.

Any recommendations ? Got a budget of around £200.

Thanks
 
sounds like a good swap :coat:
 
Yep i'd highly recommend the Canon IXUS range too, the 70 or 75 are great, I have teh 65, it's awesome (basically the same as te 75 except it's silver and is 6MP instead of 7.1).
 
Thanks for the above guys.

Being a canon man i'm drawn towards the IXUS :canon: :D
 
Hehe yeah same with me, i'v got my entire family using the Canon IXUS seris (except my dad who uses a EOS 3V) :p
 
I have just seen some pics taken with the canon ixus i7 zoom
and am very impressed.
On the darkside of things :) I just bought my lad the Nikon coolpix L10 and it produces great pics.
 
If you can afford one, the canon G9 is meant to be a cracking bit of kit.

Slightly over your budget, but it is meant to be v. good by all accounts.

Yeah te G9 looks amasing for a compact, has loads of features you would find in an SLR...like the top flash mount (I personally think a compact would look really wierd with a flashgun ontop but whatever).

If I was going to upgrade my compact (not that I need to, I never use it), i'd probably go with the G9.

You can pick one up for about £280 on eBay, brand new with a 2gig card.
 
Thanks guys, Looks like it's going to be a canon. (y)
