This stunning little piece from Canon called Canon Ixus 255 HS has 10X zoom and high picture quality of 12.1 megapixels.The model is the successor of Canon’s previously popular ultra slim model named Canon Ixus 220.

It has several effect modes that you can apply to your image. Various face detection mode like, smile, wink detection and red eye corrector come handy while clicking timely photographs.
It can capture high quality videos of 1920X1080p which will produce quality videos for HD Television and other HD screens.
Negatives:
Despite its powerful sensor the indoor images clicked by the camera without flash looks a little grainy. So it would be wise to use the built in flash while shooting indoor even in bright light. The camera has slightly slower speed than its arch rivals from Sony Cybershot and Panasonic.
