end review
2016 began here with the older camera that is not positive disclaim acquainted with a tiled floor. Unfortunately the device here not and, therefore, a new purchased. It was the canon ixus 165.
The canon ixus is a camera that is my opinion, simple is good to make photos. The price of the device I find it attractive too.

In addition to the camera, there are still a number of other components included, this I will discuss it here. Of the camera I give only a list of specifications. The camera itself comes further in this review extended to bod.De cameraDe IXUS 165 includes a CCD Sensor with a camera resolution of 20MP.

Further specifications are pricewatch: Canon Ixus 165 Silver vindenBatterijBij this camera NB-11L battery included. This is a 2.5 Wh lithium-ion battery. For charging the battery the included battery charger. After the battery is fully charged, he can be inserted into the camera. The recharge of this battery takes approximately 2 hours.
I had quickly discovered that the battery is actually an annoying part is to get the camera to cross. It comes down to the fact that I have a hand, to shortly come when inserting the battery. A hand is needed for holding the camera. The other hand for holding the battery. Last, there is still a component that needs to be pushed back. However, this is not very simple. With a bit thicker fingers you get then the battery is not properly stopped. The click system with the placement of the memory card is used, it is a lot easier.

This section of the review consists of two parts. First, I will discuss the outside of the camera. In the second part I will go more in to the functions of the camera.
Body of the camera
Functions of the camera
Settings via the menu button
The help function
Following hoofdstukBody of the cameraOm start with, how does that thing there now? Below are some of the photos. I also have another camera, so they unfortunately of lesser quality. First, I want the front to discuss.
On the photo you can see that if the camera is the lovely compact. The lens do not cross out or so, and he is nice and protects against scratches by two tabs. In the upper right is the flash. The top left is a led which lights up when the button on the top is slightly depressed so as to focus.
On the photo below to see how the camera looks when it is turned on.
On the side where the wrist strap can be attached, is a kind of rubber cap. If this is lifted is there an a/V output / DIGITAL terminal zichtpaar. Unfortunately, I think that here is not a more common micro usb port is to find. The cable for the corresponding port that this camera has I had in the house, unfortunately there is also no suitable cable included. I must say that the memory card from the camera should pick up is also not a lot of work, and such a cable is not essential for the camera to be able to use, but it is, I think, be easier.
Another disadvantage is that I have the rubber cap the port cover after 3 times lifted, though not completely well more back at his place. How it is now is not bad, but this had better have it done to my opinion.
At the bottom of the camera there is a cover over the battery and the memory card. Furthermore, there is little interesting to see.
Further than the back of the camera. The back includes a 6.8 cm colour LCD screen. Furthermore, there are still some buttons to see. What the functionalities of these buttons are, discuss in part 2 of this chapter, so please read further.Features of the cameraDe camera has different features. In this section, I discuss a number of. Of some of the functions it depends on in which mode the camera is or whether or not they are available. I haven’t exactly figured out which function in any mode available.
Besides taking photos, it is also possible to take videos with sound. This can be in HD, and VGA.Photos makenAls a picture is taken can be this simple by pressing the release button on the top button. When the button is half pressed, the camera will first focus with AF frames by the camera view, to indicate in which areas is the focus. When the shutter button is fully pressed is there a photo taken. A useful feature here is Servo AF (which via the menu can be turned on). This ensures that the camera view remains in focus as the shutter button is half-pressed and held.
Can also through the top of the camera to be zoomed in, and zoomed out. There can be up to 32x zoom in, however, if there is more than 8x zoom moves the lens, but the image is digitally magnified.
If there is zoomed in the top of a bar display which indicates how much it is zoomed in. This is with crayons to indicate when it is switched from optical zoom to digital zoom. The digital zoom can also, via the menu be disabled.
Furthermore, the camera is still a quite a few possibilities.
Flash
There you can set whether to always use the flash, is off, the camera automatically determines if the flash is needed, or an extended shutter speed must be to brighten the background. If the camera is in AUTO mode instead of live is only the option flash off, or auto flash available.
DISP
On the bottom of the round button in the DISP. This ensures that the date, time and other icons/ signs are displayed or hidden.
CAR
It’s between the mode to be switched. If AUTO is used, many things automatically determined by the camera. The mode that is being switched via the FUNC SET button to be set. By default, this is LIVE but there is, for example, also have a P mode.
FUNCSET
If the button FUNCSET is pressed, there are optical available when the own shutter button. Here, you can for 10 seconds, 2 seconds, or custom timer. The latter can be self-set after how many seconds a picture should be drawn but also the number of photos that need to be made.
In addition, can also still the recording is great and the video quality can be set.
Also, it can be activated when the shutter-release button is pressed, continuous recordings are made. When continuous shooting is used in recording mode in AUTO or P the camera is 0.8 frames per second. This comes down to about 1.25 seconds per shot.
The features I describe below are not available when the camera is in AUTO mode.
– ISO value
One of the possibilities is the setting of the ISO value which can be set from 100 to 1600 (with every edge doubled the value (100, 200, 400, etc.).
– recording mode
These are options for making photos of fireworks, snow, pictures with a poster effect, extra vivid, monochrome (black-and-white, sepia, or blue and white), LIVE, P, and etc.
– The exposure
The exposure can be changed between a value of -2 and +2, with 1/3 being raised or lowered.
– white balance
Here can be indicated or photos outside in the sun to be cut, or if it’s just cloudy. Or at light of a lamp or of a FLUORESCENT tube, photographs are made or there can be set that this is just automatically adjusted.
ECO-function
The camera also contains an ECO-function. With this function enabled, the battery goes less quickly empty because the screen faster in the dark.settings via the menu knopDe camera also contains an extensive menu which can be reached via the menu button (sounds pretty logical 
Below is a photo of this.
Here can be a number of fun gadgets and gimmicks to be found ( the number varies depending on which mode is used). In the menu allows a number of different tabs will be displayed.
The next tab has to do mainly with the pictures.
– blink detection
Using blink detection the camera may be determined whether a person is the eyes closed or open. This is displayed on the screen by means of a small icon.
lamp settings
With the lamp setting, the light on the front of the camera, provided which turns on when the camera focuses. This light can be turned on and off. Personally I find it better if this is disabled because if it’s a bit darker the light of this light will see on the display (on the photo it is not visible).
– AF frame
The AF frame can be changed (always in the middle, or that, for example, the faces being searched)
– Date stamp
About this feature, there is very little exciting to tell. If activated, is is right at the bottom of the photo the date and time will be added.
In a separate tab under the menu settings for the following items:
– Date/ time
– mute
– hints and tips (on or off)
– time zone
– when the lens is retracted when the button with the blue arrow is pressed
– power saver, here you can set whether the power saver on or off and for how much time the display should be turned off. (30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes or 3 minutes).
– The brightness of the LCD screen (5 positions)
– The splash screen can be turned off (if the camera is booted first appears the name canon).
– The SD card can be formatted
file number (continuous or auto reset),
– How often a new folder should be created( monthly or weekly) – Video System (NTSC or PAL)
– Certificaatlogo view
– Language (English is available)
– The volume of the camera (Here, you can still separate the boot volume, Timer volume, shutter sound, and work volume can be set. That last I immediately turned off because I’m quite annoying like that I always blip hear when I walk through menus to the leaves am, e.g.),
And lastly, you can still via this tab, all settings of the camera will be reset.
In another tab are functions available for deleting photos or viewing photos through a slide show. Also, photos can be edited by rotating them, the i-Contrast can be set up, red eyes can be corrected, and some other settings, which among other things have to do with that slide show.
Then there is a tab that has to do with the printing of photos. Here is a selection of images, and can print settings to be made. I have the print mode is not extensively tested since I do not unnecessary ink, paper and wanted to waste it. However, I noticed that there are actually a lot of screens that must be completed before there is actually a print from the printer.help featureon the camera is a help button. The fine thing about it is that if you are stuck in a minute or how something works you through a push of a button a screen appear can catch up with explanation. My idea is this would be a nice addition to quickly find a concise explanation to get without internet to begin the search.
By this, I have a large number of functionalities of the camera are discussed, however, were this not all, but since I am still more in this review wants to tell you and it just is too much to use all the possibilities to discuss, so I made a selection.

In this section of the review, I will discuss the experiences that I have with the camera. Also I put here some photos which I have taken.
Next chapter
– Ergonomics & controls
To start with, the camera is fairly small. Now I find that not very annoying, but I have cameras wired had something bigger, and I thought that was what could be finer. Also, the camera has also never zittenwaardoor he has finer leaves. Almost everywhere is just the same smooth plastic processed so that you don’t really have a good grip on the camera. The controls of the camera are in my opinion reasonable, although some of the settings are pretty well hidden because of the weather, depending on other settings, they are displayed or not, and it will be in the beginning, therefore often be searching or in the manual look. When the shutter button is pressed with the finger to feel when it is half pressed, or fully pressed, For this part, I give also 3 stars.
– Features
For the price of this camera, I think that this is a very good features. There are a lot of possibilities and functions available, for this part, I give also 5 stars.
– Image quality recording
Here I can not complain about it. Until now I have mainly the AUTO function of the device and until now I’ve been here, in my opinion, good photos can make. Also 5 stars.
– Build quality
I find it a pity that the protect rubber on the A/V output / DIGITAL terminal quickly is not good any more, I found this a pity as this in my opinion could have been better. Further build quality will be, however, as I use the camera more used in my gauge, so I leave this now still open.
– Speed and accuracy of automatic
This is in my opinion fine. The startup of the camera is nice and fast, and also things like taking pictures and focusing, I do not take too long. Scrolling through the menus is smooth. A press the menu button, e.g. and the menu is opened immediately without, for example, first 5 seconds is loaded or so.
– Battery life
The battery duration depends rather strongly on what is done with the camera. There are a lot of photos or recordings, or only a little bit through the menu and browsed. How the battery currently being used as a new performance, I find it sufficient.
– Expansion possibilities
Insofar as I know, the camera has no options for expansion. Actually I had not expected, hence I do not have to be assessed.
– Price
The price of this camera I find is good. The camera has plenty of features and functions on the canvas.
Via the canon website can also software be downloaded for the PC, however, is here one or another number will be needed. I was, however, not clear which of the many on the box to find the figures they wanted to have. As without the software the camera on the PC also just worked to get at the files on the SD card and this for me is sufficient, I have not further looked at.
Another fine point of this camera is that it is completely in Dutch, but if you prefer another language, then this can be done easily via the settings menu can be arranged.
The last part of this review, I have a number of photos taken which can be seen below.
This photo is of close created with AUTO mode in daylight, not zoomed in.
The following photo was taken in the evening, with the flash in auto mode.
Given the range of the flash is 3 metres, it makes little sense to distance the zoom function to test.
Day taken in auto mode, not zoomed in.
auto mode optical zoom 8x where the focal distance is 40mm
Day taken with optical zoom 8x + digital zoom up to 16x
Day taken auto mode optical zoom of 8x and a digital zoom a total of 32x
Return to table of contents
The end of this review is in sight. As the last section I give a summary.
The canon IXUS 165 is a camera with many features. The photos made are in my opinion fine. However, there are some things less. For example it includes the camera no micro usb port, and after a few times the rubber cap los have obtained to no longer be in the right place back. The camera is pretty easy and clear in use, if some functions are best hidden. The battery is reasonable, all in all, I think this is a reasonable camera. Although some things had been, the photos he makes to my opinion just fine, and since that is the main thing is getting this camera as the final score from me is 4 stars.
