Did I tell you that I’ve bought a new camera? Well, I actually traded my old Canon IXUS 870 IS for a smaller more compact digital camera.
I know, I know some of you might think that I am nuts. But I can’t help it. I loved my previous Canon. It was pretty with crystals all over it. However, I need something which can fit into most of my bags just like the above Canon IXUS 100 IS. I can’t bear to sacrifice a couple of makeup space just to include my slightly bulky camera but with the above Canon IXUS 100 IS I sure can now. Not it fits into my little dinner purses very nicely.
When it comes to specs, of course this camera lacks the hardware of my previous camera. But I can assure you that this beauty works as well.
