Performance
The first thing I noticed in the test results and came to like about the IXUS i7 was the image clarity. The results were sharp from edge to edge, without any kind of blurring that you notice when you shoot complex similar-colored objects. The clear straight lines I could see on the pictures here is hard to find even on regularly-sized cameras of similar or higher budget.
It didn't skimp on the colors either. Though all the shots were taken in the 'Natural Colors' mode, the results were vibrant where they mattered. It reproduced all the greens, pinks, reds and oranges as expected.
The funny thing is that even though the camera has a macro mode, it's not very good at it. It had trouble focusing on objects that were as far as 5 inches away from the lens, which it pretty bad considering that most cameras can focus on anything between 1-2 inches in macro mode these days.
