Over the past years or so I've had quite a few comments regarding which type camera I use for my photos, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to include one in my "Christmas Gifts" series. Currently I use two cameras, a Canon 350D SLR and Canon IXUS compact. My SLR has served me very well since I bought it about 5 years ago. It helped me get a decent grade at uni and has travelled the world with me, but if I'm totally honest my Canon compact has been my best camera purchases to date.
I bought the Canon IXUS 95IS after reading decent reviews online and I have never looked back. It cost me £85 at the time and it takes a darn a good photo, coping with most conditions you throw at it. I shoot the majority of my blog photos with my compact, here's a few of examples - Savannah Photo Diary, Abstract Mickey, Store Visit...Weavers Door. It's small enough to stick in your back pocket, plus from experience, it can handle a fair few scraps.
I'm keen to hear about which cameras you use and recommend, let me know in the comments.
The Canon IXUS 132 is an update to the 95IS and is available for £79 at Park Cameras.
