Canon IXUS 70 & Selphy 520 printer bundle 89.95 - INSTORE

Wow, fantastic deal if you can find one!

Voted Hot!

That is a good deal i’ve got the Ixus 75 and thats a wicked camera! sometimes wonder whether I should have brought the Ixus 70 coz its more compact.

This is a better deal than the ixus75 one at Amazon, as they are essentially the same camera, just with a different screen size. You've just got to find one.

Can't go wrong with a Canon!

hi mike, guess who

How does this compare to the F40FD, ive got it on order at play but can cancel if this is a better deal

Hello again, I'd go for this one, but you'll have to find one. You could even flog the printer to make sure you've got money from your budget to get a spare battery, memory card (or cards) and a case. Not sure what these go for, but I suspect you could get about £30 on ebay. No time to check now, about to go out!

Just try and find one or phone around a few Tesco stores before you cancel!

is this nation wide, can someone confirm?

The ixus70 has a optical viewfinder also. So you can turn off the screen when taking pictures or videos, saving valuable battery.
Also, the slider to switch between shooting and review modes is on the back so the camera is easily operated with one hand.
Hot.

Got one of these in Talbot Green Extra, but price now increased to 99.99, 3 or 4 left last night

I just called the customer care line and the lady couldnt find anything about this camera anywhere! Not on there system or the website, strange!

I can confirm the Watford and Beckton Extra stores don't have stock, shame really as looks a cracking price.

Heat and Rep on it's way

I know I've already posted this in the IXUS 75 thread, but in case anyone is interested and hasn't seen it there... apologies for the repeat!

Many of the Canon PowerShot and IXUS cameras can be given a large number of extra features using an add-on firmware called CHDK. This doesn't replace the existing camera firmware but lives on the memory card and gets loaded in, so it's completely safe to use. The extra features include being able to use RAW mode, create custom ISO values, fiddle with exposure times, an extra display mode which displays what areas of a picture will be under or over exposed with current settings, a scripting language based on BASIC which allows things such as time-lapse photography and motion detection, and a whole bunch of other bits of stuff which I haven't yet investigated.

The main website is at http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK, and the IXUS 70 (aka the SD1000 in US terms) is one of the supported cameras - the IXUS 75 (SD750) is currently only beta. More info at http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/SD1000

I've just popped it on an IXUS 50 and it's given it a new lease of life - right now it's taking 1000 shots at 3 second intervals for a short timelapse film.

Might be handy for those wanting a camera to try out some experimental photography without splashing the cash.

A friend has an IXUS 75 and there is a lot of noise in the indoor images it captures. Not impressed. Dont think it will be much different from the ixus 70 on this deal. But I must add that he took the photos without the flash and I was amazed how it captured so much detail without the flash. My canon A80 captures near perfect images indoors but needs the flash always. No flash no image. So there is plenty of improvement I guess.

Can't see online - this might be one of those one only deals that only one person finds in some obscure Tesco branch
