Canon IXUS 255 HS Point & Shoot Camera is a good Camera worth buying.
-Image quality, video recording is excellent as per the specifications. superb pictures.
-Could have been better if the battery life is good. I am getting the battery is for 8 to 10 hrs only. Have to recharge after that. I am able to take around 100 to 150 photos only with that Battery life.
-It also has CMOS sensor. It comes with 12.1 MP, but donot go for this, camera quality is just great.
- click great pictures during day-light settings and even in low light also.
-Amazing clarity and great picture resolution.
-it is ideal for a casual and amateur photographer.
