  Canon IXUS 860IS digital camera
  By Stuart Miles
  
  Pros: Great build, image quality as lower ISOs, responsive, easy to use, good metering and colour, nice lens focal range
  
  Cons: Reduced detail due to noise reduction processing, Intrusive noise at higher ISOs, white balance issues in mixed lighting, screen marks easily
  
  Verdict: While it looks very nice, the entry price is higher than that of its predecessor and, mysteriously, there are a few things missing from the new model
