Yeah, the Ixus prices have definitely skyrocketed online...and I think you explain well why. The 70 with the black lens indeed looks great, seems like the "it" small digicam. Now I need to go looking for it in thrift stores this summer. 😎
Ixus'es used to be the most common cameras I found in thrift stores. Now they are rare, and if they show up they are expensive. I guess people realized they could get real money by selling them online. Fortunately I'm still finding some digicams, last week I found an Olympus C-1400L + smartmedia card for 6 euros 😀
@@mikaelrphoto Maybe the backroad and countryside thrift stores are the places to go...but usually they just have porcelain and forks? Ah, the 1400CL is a camera that I found in our old school, but decided not to bring home (this was before my real digicam hype).
Hello my friend. Thanks for sharing your experience. You comment about this camera, that in low light situations, it tends to reduce the noise produced by high ISOS. That's something I don't like at all. I prefer noise over noise reduction. You also comment that older models of this brand, don't have that noise reduction. Can you recommend me any particular model? Thank you very much 😊
Hello and thanks for watching! The Canon G7 has a lot of noise at 1600 (an example: flickr.com/photos/mikaelrphoto/53419830732/in/dateposted-public/), it's a slightly bigger camera though. If the size is not an issue I can also recommend the G5 and Pro1, but their max ISO is 400, so they can be limiting.
Thanks! The photos are all unedited jpegs directly from the camera, mostly on the standard settings. SD1000 is the name for the North American market, IXUS 70 in Europe, and probably the rest of the world.

I bought one new, back in 2007 I think. Still works like day one.
Yeah they are very durable, the only weak point is the lens folding mechanism.
What Sd card do I get for it,will SanDisk ultra 16gb sdhc uhs 1 work? I can't find any non uhs1 cards around here online

Thank you @@mikaelrphoto for your recommendation. I currently have a G2 and an S70 from Canon.
Isnt the SD1000 an whole different model? Love the pictures btw are they RAW or edited?

@@mikaelrphoto oh damn didn’t know about the naming, thanks! Really great shots keep it up!
Shame about the ants but the forest looks lovely!
The forest is fantastic! The ants were a bit aggressive because they just woke up from their winter sleep! I guess they will calm down soon 🤣
Where can I get one?(please help I wanna get one for my dads 70th bday)
There are plenty on Ebay (a bit pricy though), local flea markets or thrift store might have for cheaper.
