Easy and simple to use. Large LCD screen. It's very pleasant model.Rarely used. Very good condition like new. it comes with all the accessories.
It's pocket sized digital camera. It has six megapixels and a three times optical zoom lens. It is well made with a good build quality.
When it comes to image quality Canon consistently produce excellent digital cameras. One of the key features of each camera is the sharpness of each image. The IXUS 65 upholds this reputation.

Looking through the test photos starting with the outdoor scenic type shots for a pocket sized camera the photos are very well focused. The brickwork on the building and the tiles on the roof are sharper than with the majority of ultra compact models. The camera also manages to retain a good level of focus towards the edges of each shot.

Taking a further look at the outdoor images the IXUS 65 also produces strong colours and I am also impressed by the level of detail the camera manages to capture. This is especially true in very light areas of the photos.

Not surprisingly the dedicated test for colours works well. Canon digital cameras on the whole tend to produce strong colours and again the IXUS 65 manages to continue this trend. Vivid colours bode well for just about all types of photograph and this helps to bring the pictures taken with this camera to life.

Both of the portrait shots are good. With the outdoor shot I felt the camera managed to get the exposure just about right. The picture was taken on an overcast day and I used the cloudy white balance setting to add a warmer feel to the colours. The indoor shot is sharp too. This is also another example of the camera being able to bring out a good level of detail. There is a drawback though. As with many other cameras in the Canon IXUS range the IXUS 65 produced a greater amount of red eye than the majority of similar digital cameras.

The other lowlight shot is of some beer bottles. This is taken in more or less complete darkness. Considering the conditions the camera makes a very good attempt at both lighting the shot and focusing.

For close up photography the camera again managed a sharply focused close up shot. Whilst I would not go as far as recommending this camera specifically for macro photography you should be able to take decent close up shots when needed.
