About this model
The Canon IXUS 95 IS is a slim, pocket-sized compact camera designed for everyday snapshots. Its 10-megapixel sensor and 3x optical zoom cover the usual range of subjects, from group shots to mild close-ups, and optical image stabilisation helps keep handheld photos and video steady. A 2.5-inch LCD is used for framing and reviewing, and the metal-bodied IXUS design slips easily into a pocket or bag. It is a straightforward point-and-shoot: choose a scene mode or let the camera handle exposure automatically. A good choice if you want a small, simple camera for holidays, nights out and everyday photos.
