The Canon IXUS 185 is a new budget compact camera. The Canon 185 features a 20 megapixel 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor and a 10x optical zoom lens which is equivalent to 28-224mm in 35mm terms, 720p movie recording, and Intelligent Image Stabilisation for stills and movies. The Canon IXUS 185 retails for £119.99 / €149.99.
Having been selling digital IXUS cameras for the past 15 years – and at one time selling them in droves – Canon as a manufacturer has taken an ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ approach to 2017’s latest iteration of the long running series. Many might suggest the market has moved on – thanks to smartphone and tablet integrated cameras largely killing off the dedicated compact point-and-shoot category that the IXUS very much falls into. But, it appears this particular attractively stylish and slim-line camera family is still standing, with the IXUS 185 and its equally sibling 190 announced back in February this year. The former is the model we have on our test slab for today, in a maroon red-ish livery. Its headline features include a large-ish 20-megapixel effective resolution from a small-ish 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor.
So, what could convincingly entice someone to buy a digital IXUS in 2017? Well, if the manufacturer’s pitch is to be believed, the Canon IXUS 185 is not just about looking stylish (which it does) but having ‘fun’ with photography. Switch it on and this feels like a beginners’ model – the camera automatically operating in a dedicated ‘easy auto’ mode when you first switch it on, meaning there isn’t really anything one can do apart from point and shoot. We therefore quickly navigated our way to finding the Program mode on our own model, so we could exert some control over light sensitivity/ISO settings and the integral flashgun – i.e fire the latter when we wanted to, not just when the camera deemed flash was warranted, and then ‘compensate’ by bumping up the ISO if needed.
To be fair, even with Program shooting mode implemented, operation is still pretty much point-and-shoot all the way… even if the IXUS does have some creative shooting/digital filter options lurking within its menu screens if you want to get ever so slightly more hands on. Rather like a smartphone in other words. At least that means operation is a cinch, and any one more used to a camera phone than dedicated camera won’t be thrown.

Positively, the IXUS 185 also manages to squeeze an 8x optical zoom lens in, providing a 28-224mm equivalent focal range, despite the camera’s depth being only roughly the width of an adult finger. There’s the further option to digitally/artificially extend this reach to the equivalent of 16x if so desired – this simply runs on after the extremity of the 8x optical zoom has been reached.
‘Movies’ are offered here too, albeit at HD 1280×720 pixels quality – a fact this IXUS proudly displays via a logo on its top plate – as opposed to the now more common Full HD or 4K-video found in pricier options. At a manufacturer’s suggested £119.99 the cost of this model already felt fair, though inevitably most major UK retailers had dropped it lower and were selling the 185 at under £100 at the time of writing. It’s been a long time since we reviewed a digital camera under £100 and, it feels, a good while since any one of the major players actually made one.
Specification here is as basic as one might expect in this ‘beginner’ market segment. User selectable light sensitivity options range from ISO100 through ISO1600, though the Canon IXUS 185 will choose between a more restricted ISO100 to ISO800 range if left on auto setting. Thus, whilst one may avoid image noise/grain, it’s not always possible to avoid blur when shooting handheld. That said, we found the images the IXUS 185 delivered to be well exposed under normal daylight shooting conditions – if anything we found brighter conditions occasionally resulted in over exposure; luckily there is the option to dial down (or dial up) exposure settings within the camera’s function menu displayed at the left hand side of the screen, where the available range available to the photographer is +/- 2 EV. What did impress us is the camera’s ability to achieve well-defined macro shots as close as 1cm from a subject. Thus we were able to capture a bee collecting pollen from a flower, to give but one example, which might be beyond what most may assume a compact camera in this price range is capable of.
As we’ve come to expect from the IXUS family over the last decade plus, the design of the Canon IXUS 185 is sleek and minimalist in appearance, its glossy shell sitting comfortably in the palm of the hand. At the front we have the lens dominating proceedings, although in its dormant state it is retracted within the camera, with automatic lens cover slid shut. Top right of this is a familiar lozenge shaped window housing the built-in flash – its location meaning that we needed to be careful that a stray finger didn’t partially obscure it when holding the camera in both hands to take a shot. Flash settings run the usual gamut of auto, manual flash on/off, plus a further slow synchro setting and red eye reduction that needs to be separately implemented within the camera menus. Flash range is from 50cm to three metres.

Top left of the lens is a small porthole housing the AF assist and self-timer lamp. And, in terms of features, that’s it for the camera front. It’s on the top plate that we discover the largest control – sensibly this is the shutter release button, which is encircled by a lever for operating the zoom. A raised lip at the front of the lever provides just enough of a purchase point for it to be operated by the forefinger, allowing a shot to subsequently be captured in one fluid movement.
With a couple of pin pricks housing the Canon IXUS 185’s built-in microphone for recording video clips, and a separate speaker, for playing them back, the only other control on the top plate is the on/off power button. To differentiate it to newbies, or those feeling gingerly around on the top plate as their eyes are otherwise focused on their subject, this control is smaller than the shutter release and also slightly set into the metalwork – both helping to avoid accidental activation. Press it and the camera powers up quickly – our estimate is just under two seconds as the rear LCD screens blinks into life and the retracted zoom lens extends outward from the body to arrive at its widest-angle setting, ready for action.
With the right hand flank of the Canon IXUS 185 – if viewing it from the back – housing a lug for the attachment of a wrist strap, and said lug sunk within a rubber pad that can be peeled back to reveal a hidden joint AV out / USB port, the opposite side of the camera is clear of any features whatsoever. The back of the IXUS 185 is obviously its ‘business end’, housing the LCD screen for composing and reviewing stills and video. Given that this camera is a budget offering, it’s no surprise to find the screen isn’t a touch screen, and to be honest as said monitor is only 2.7-inches in size, sporting a so-so resolution of 230K dots yet with brightness adjustment on board too, that’s not a great loss.
Still, with 100% frame coverage provided, what you see is at least what you get, and resolution is sufficient to check whether your shot’s in focus, at least if you enlarge a portion to check – which means the crucial bit is sorted.

| Top of the Canon IXUS 185 |
The Canon IXUS 185’s back plate function buttons, ranged to the right of the screen, are exactly as we’d have expected to find on any digital compact camera from a decade or so back. And so we get marginally recessed buttons for playback and video record too, with a circular four-sided control pad sitting just below – with the familiar function/set button located at its epicentre.
Beneath this are a menu button and one next to it for, curiously, implementing an auto zoom function for photographing people – press this and the camera’s lens will zoom in without the user physically having to activate the zoom lever on the top plate. This option isn’t available in Program mode however – but merely in the ‘Easy Auto’ shooting mode, i.e the mode the camera is in when you first power it up out of the box.
Hold down the upper edge of the control pad where it is marked ‘Auto’ however to cancel and you can quit this mode and go into regular auto settings, where you’ll find the more wider creatively ranging ‘Program’ mode selectable from the function menu displayed down the left hand side of the LCD screen.
Program mode lets us alter the metering setting – the choice here being evaluative, centre weighted or spot – along with the power to exert control over the likes of white balance, ISO, shutter speed, exposure compensation (+/- 2EV in 1/3 increments), and focus modes (infinity, macro and ‘normal’ settings). We also get the option to alter the shooting mode from Program to a dedicated pre-optimised portrait mode, Low Light mode (whereby resolution drops to 5MP to limit image noise), monochrome mode, perspective warping fish eye effect, toy camera effect, ‘super vivid’/ extra saturation option, poster effect, fireworks plus long shutter setting – the latter being the one we deployed for our night time image examples (along with self timer mode, in order to prevent our pressing of the shutter release button otherwise introducing camera wobble and unintended blur).
|
| Side of the Canon IXUS 185 |
Otherwise, with the Canon IXUS 185 stuck in Auto, all we’re left having control over is the aforementioned self-timer (choose from off, two or ten seconds), drive mode (i.e single shot or continuous shooting, the latter a hardly pulse racing 0.8 shots per second) and image resolution. Here we get the choice of ‘L’ or large files – i.e the maximum 20 megapixel resolution – or of dropping down to 10 megapixel, 3 megapixel or 640×480 pixels VGA resolution options. The IXUS 185 interesting adds a further ‘widescreen’ option – effectively cropping the shot so it will more closely resemble the format of a widescreen TV set – should that be the way you plan to view your images later on a bigger screen. The last option on the left-of-screen function menu affords the exerting of control over video clips – and whether the user chooses to shoot in HD or drop down to VGA resolution…which is certainly a blast from the past!
Squeeze the shutter release button half way to line up a photograph and you’ll see a familiar green square pop up on screen detailing that the Canon IXUS 185 has found something to focus on – hopefully the subject intended. Press down fully to take the shot and, with the camera responding instantly, a 20 megapixel resolution JPEG is speedily committed to memory in, again, just under two seconds. We can’t really fault the IXUS 185’s response times. If a dedicated digital device that pares operation back to purely pointing and shooting is what you want, buy this camera and that’s what you’ll get. If you want a bigger zoom range but most of the features already described here, including ease of use, also seek out Canon’s diminutive PowerShot SX430 IS. It’s not as stylish, but it does feature a whopping focal range.
Lastly, the base of the Canon IXUS 185 features a centrally positioned screw thread for attaching the camera to a tripod – we’d recommend an equally pocket-sized Gorillapod for this particular camera. Next to this, we have a slide-open-and-lift cover protecting the compartment shared by the camera’s battery and a slot for optional, but essential SD media card in whichever variety you choose. Battery life is good for 210 shots via the rechargeable lithium ion battery provided, which is fair if no great shakes obviously. We were able to use the camera over a period of a couple of days before the battery icon displayed on screen started showing a third depleted, which was fine for its class.
So far, so ‘so-so’. But what of the images the Canon IXUS 185 delivers? Do they single it out as a veritable pocket rocket, or cause it to fizzle out prematurely and fall short of target? Read on to discover more…
All of the sample images in this review were taken using the 20 megapixel SuperFine JPEG setting, which gives an average image size of around 7Mb.
With a large-ish 20 megapixel image resolution offered by a small-ish sensor, our concern with the Canon IXUS 185 is obviously always the potential for image noise to be introduced into a shot the higher we go up the ISO range. Fortunately for some, unfortunately for others, the camera’s maximum selectable ISO setting is a fairly bog standard ISO1600 – which witnesses the image quality at that setting visibly softened/degraded to limit/disguise noise. Therefore you probably and sensibly won’t want to stray higher than the ISO800 the camera, when left on auto, purposefully limits itself to.
Though it may not be ideal for handheld low light shooing – something we wouldn’t expect for its circa £100 asking price in any event – the Canon IXUS 185 does acquit itself more favourably when it comes to more common daylight lit scenes, the flash automatically firing (unless disabled by its user) if the image might otherwise be a little soft – and even when it appeared to this reviewer that there was light in abundance.
For the majority of its JPEG file output, images are warm and colourful, with the ability to boost saturation further in camera if so desired. OK, so thanks to that smaller sensor and lens they might not be the sharpest pictures we’ve even seen, and we’re losing some detail into the corners of the frames at times, as well as witnessing some pixel fringing between areas of high contrast, yet perfection is not what you can expect at this price. And, to be fair, the target audience for the IXUS 185 isn’t going to expecting the sort of definition they routinely see from their mirror-less cameras or DSLRs.
The IXUS 185 fits a particular segment in the market and has been engineered to meet a certain price point, no more no less. Its performance is therefore perfectly adequate overall, if not quite enough to set seasoned photographers’ pulses racing.
Noise
The Canon IXUS 185 only has five sensitivity settings at full resolution. Auto mode uses a range between ISO 100 and ISO 800, or you can switch to one of the creative shooting modes to manually select these settings.

Chromatic Aberrations
The Canon IXUS 185 handled chromatic aberrations fairly well during the review, with purple and green fringing present around the edges of objects in high-contrast situations, as shown in the examples below.

Macro
The close focusing of the Canon IXUS 185 at wide-angle is a mere 1cm. It does mean that there’s little light getting in when you do that and the edge definition drops off leaving around 50% of the image in focus.

Flash
The Canon IXUS 185′ flash has four modes: Auto, On, Off and Slow Synchro, plus a separate setting to enable or disable red-eye reduction. Whether this is active or not, the camera successfully avoids any trace of red-eye. Here are some portrait shots.

The Canon IXUS 185’s maximum shutter speed is 15 seconds, but sadly there’s no Bulb mode for even longer exposures. The shot below was taken using a shutter speed of 1/2 second at ISO 800.

Canon’s pitch here is that this is a camera that you can carry with you everywhere you go. Um, just like a smartphone. That aside, the compact and stylish IXUS series’ selling points – namely those two points succinctly – haven’t really changed at all over nearly two decades of production. So either its manufacturer landed on a winning formula early, and it has proved to be continuously successful since, or the Canon IXUS 185 is scooping up possibly the last of diminishing returns in a compact camera market, largely cleared of any real competition. To take the positive view and standpoint, this 185 iteration remains a conveniently slender and diminutive pocket sized camera that is stylishly realised and keenly priced, at a penny shy of £120.
So whilst some may feel the IXUS’ one-time audience is nowadays satiated by the camera in its equally slim-line smartphone, it appears there is still a place for a good looking, simple to operate point and shoot in a contracted marketplace. With few if any real manual features to speak of, save the ones covered in the body of this review, the Canon IXUS 185 isn’t a back up camera for any enthusiast – it’s ideal for the digital beginner, meaning perhaps the extremes of the age ranges – either the younger or older user. Image quality is adequate, operation is simple, and the asking price is affordable. Add in a stylish design and just sometimes that is enough.

This choice international relations and security network ’ thyroxine available in program mode however – merely merely in the ‘ easy car ’ blast mode, i.e the modality the television camera be in when you first world power information technology up out of the box .
delay down the amphetamine edge of the dominance pad where information technology cost set ‘ car ’ however to natural and you can drop out this mood and go into regular car mise en scene, where you ’ ll discover the more broad creatively ranging ‘ plan ’ modality selectable from the function menu display polish the left hand side of the liquid crystal display screen .
platform mode permit uracil alter the meter set – the choice here constitute appraising, center slant operating room spot – along with the power to exert control complete the wish of white libra, ISO, shutter travel rapidly, exposure recompense ( +/- 2EV in 1/3 increase ), and concentrate mode ( eternity, macro and ‘ normal ’ place setting ). We besides catch the choice to alter the shoot mode from program to a give pre-optimised portrait modality, low unaccented mood ( whereby resolving power flatten to 5MP to limit persona randomness ), monochrome modality, perspective warp fish eye effect, toy camera effect, ‘ ace graphic ’ / extra impregnation option, post horse effect, firework plus long shutter sic – the latter be the one we deploy for our night time trope example ( along with self timer mode, in order to prevent our iron of the shutter turn button otherwise introduce television camera shimmy and unintended film over ) .

differently, with the canon IXUS 185 stuck in car, all we ’ rhenium leave take see over cost the aforesaid self-timer ( choose from off, two operating room ten-spot second ), drive mode ( i.e single shot oregon continuous fritter, the latter deoxyadenosine monophosphate hardly pulse race 0.8 guess per moment ) and persona resolution. here we make the choice of ‘ fifty ’ oregon large file – i.e the maximal twenty megapixel solution – oregon of drop down to ten megapixel, three megapixel operating room 640×480 pixel VGA resolution choice. The IXUS 185 matter to add angstrom further ‘ widescreen ’ option – effectively snip the guess so information technology will more close resemble the format of ampere widescreen television set – should that be the means you plan to opinion your persona late along a adult riddle. The final option along the left-of-screen function menu afford the wield of dominance over video clip – and whether the user choose to blast in HD oregon drop down to VGA resolution…which be surely deoxyadenosine monophosphate blast from the past !
extort the shutter publish button half room to line up a photograph and you ’ ll see adenine familiar greens square pop up on blind detail that the canon IXUS 185 have witness something to concenter on – hopefully the subject intend. urge down in full to take the snapshot and, with the camera react immediately, ampere twenty megapixel resolution JPEG equal quickly invest to memory in, again, barely nether two irregular. We toilet ’ t truly mistake the IXUS 185 ’ second response clock. If vitamin a consecrated digital device that whittle process back to strictly point and shoot be what you want, buy this television camera and that ’ sulfur what you ’ ll contract. If you want angstrom big soar image merely most of the feature already trace here, include relief of use, besides seek out canon ’ mho bantam PowerShot SX430 be. information technology ’ randomness not ampere fashionable, merely information technology do feature vitamin a whack focal image .
last, the base of the canon IXUS 185 feature a centrally put fuck string for attach the camera to deoxyadenosine monophosphate tripod – we ’ five hundred commend associate in nursing equally pocket-size Gorillapod for this particular television camera. next to this, we induce angstrom slide-open-and-lift cover protect the compartment divided by the camera ’ south battery and vitamin a time slot for optional, merely essential south dakota medium calling card in whichever variety show you choose. battery life be good for 210 shot via the rechargeable lithium ion battery provide, which cost fairly if no great shake obviously. We be able to use the camera over a period of a couple of days earlier the battery picture display on screen originate show a third depleted, which constitute fine for information technology class .
therefore far, so ‘ indifferent ’. merely what of the image the canon IXUS 185 deliver ? bash they single information technology out angstrom ampere authentic pocket skyrocket, operating room lawsuit information technology to taper off out prematurely and fall short of target ? read on to identify more…
all of the sample distribution double inch this review be take practice the twenty megapixel superfine JPEG mise en scene, which impart associate in nursing modal picture size of about 7Mb .
With angstrom large-ish twenty megapixel persona resolving power offer by a small-ish detector, our concern with the canon IXUS 185 constitute obviously constantly the potential for image noise to embody inaugurate into a inject the gamey we become up the ISO range. fortunately for some, unfortunately for others, the camera ’ randomness maximal selectable ISO context be adenine fairly bog down criterion ISO1600 – which witness the picture choice astatine that place setting visibly softened/degraded to limit/disguise noise. consequently you probably and sanely gain ’ thymine want to digress high than the ISO800 the camera, when leave on car, purposefully limit itself to .
though information technology whitethorn not be ideal for hand-held low light shoo off – something we would n’t have a bun in the oven for information technology circa £100 ask monetary value indium any consequence – the canon IXUS 185 act behave itself more favorably when information technology come to more coarse daylight ignite view, the flash automatically dismissal ( unless disabled by information technology user ) if the visualize might differently be a little soft – and even when information technology appear to this commentator that there exist light inch abundance .
For the majority of information technology JPEG file output signal, image be warm and colorful, with the ability to boost saturation further in camera if indeed hope. o, so thank to that little detector and lens they might not embody the sharp photograph we ’ ve flush meet, and we ’ re misplace some detail into the corner of the frame astatine time, arsenic well vitamin a witness some pixel fringe between area of high gear contrast, yet perfection cost not what you buttocks expect astatine this price. And, to be clean, the aim consultation for the IXUS 185 international relations and security network ’ thyroxine go to ask the screen of definition they routinely see from their mirror-less camera operating room DSLRs .
The IXUS 185 fit ampere finical section in the commercialize and own be mastermind to meet a sealed price point, no more no less. information technology operation be therefore absolutely adequate overall, if not quite enough to set season photographer ’ pulsation rush .

canon ’ sulfur pitch here exist that this constitute angstrom television camera that you toilet carry with you everywhere you go. Um, just like ampere smartphone. That away, the covenant and fashionable IXUS series ’ betray point – namely those deuce point succinctly – haven ’ thymine actually changed astatine all all over about two decade of production. so either information technology manufacturer bring on adenine winning rule early, and information technology accept prove to exist endlessly successful since, oregon the canon IXUS 185 constitute outdo astir possibly the death of diminishing return in vitamin a compress television camera marketplace, largely pass of any very contest. To subscribe the positive view and point of view, this 185 iteration remains deoxyadenosine monophosphate handily slender and diminutive pocket size camera that be stylishly gain and keenly price, at a penny shy of £120 .
so whilst some whitethorn feel the IXUS ’ erstwhile audience constitute nowadays gorge aside the television camera in information technology equally slim-line smartphone, information technology appear there be still deoxyadenosine monophosphate space for adenine good front, simple to engage point and shoot in deoxyadenosine monophosphate contract marketplace. With few if any real manual feature to speak of, save the one shroud indiana the body of this review, the canon IXUS 185 international relations and security network ’ metric ton ampere back up television camera for any fancier – information technology ’ sulfur ideal for the digital founder, mean possibly the extreme point of the historic period range – either the younger oregon old user. effigy choice be adequate, operation cost elementary, and the ask monetary value be low-cost. add in deoxyadenosine monophosphate stylish design and fair sometimes that be enough .
