Is Canon going to release new Ixus soon? I'm actually planning on getting an 850 IS. Should I wait or get it now?

Just get 850IS as the price is quite cheap now. If you wait for new Ixus, i think the price will be very expensive

If they release a new one, then maybe price of 850IS will drop further, no?

check out the new ixus

Don't you guys think it is too square?

Just go get the 850IS now, the latest model will come nonetheless. Compact digicam are being replaced every few months or so, there will never be a 'latest' one for you : For example, you dun wanna get 850IS and it's obselete replaced by 860IS, after you get 860IS a new model comes out with BETTER IS and maybe bigger LCD, higher megapixel and more function than 860IS ... just 1 MONTH after 860IS and it's called 860IS, how?

You want a camera, just go out and get it, the 'latest' one will never come, trust me!

What do you mean actually?

There are marketing reasons for not releasing new products so soon. Anyhow, that's a nice link (that dpreview one on Ixus 70 and 75), thanks!

Yes, too square and no IS

I think he means 860 and then a month later it will be 860IS.

Yalar yalar, you just support your 850IS.

Mmm... Don't think will so fast. At least 6 months, if not, what the point producing new model and get rid the old 1?

Maybe I misinterpret it.

yea. jz buy 850IS la..

if u prefer a newer model which is released a few months later, just sell off ur 850IS la...

i bought a 850IS and so far it was a superb camera except the blue lines that often appear on the screen whenever the cam is faced to the light source.. It bothered me alot.

kb2005, can u help me with this? did ur cam have the same issue as well?? I saw other ixus cam's screen got no such blue lines whenever it is faced with light source.

My last line sums up the entire paragraph ... the 'latest' one will never come becoz eventually one model will replace another model, savvy?

Added on March 2, 2007, 3:42 amIt's entirely normal, the bigger the LCD the stronger the 'line'. It's blue is becoz the camera's AWB (Auto White Balance) function tried to counter the yellow light source. Dun panic and go running to the service centre just yet!

You're most welcome. Most owners, even shop salespersons dun even know that, I got that info direct from Canon's technician. It's rather common sense actually, instead of producing a GLARE like what we see from our naked eye, the light cast a straight line thru the lens and seen on the LCD, that's all, nothing is spoilt.

Yellow cast still there ... WB no good

tabbycat,

Just checked my camera just now, yes you will see the blue or purple line as well. I think it is normal as mentioned by ac98
