Five years of CNET Australia: Digital cameras
By Alexandra Savvides on 05 August 2009
It's been an interesting few years for photographers and manufacturers alike. We've seen companies come and go, technologies rise and fall, and cameras stuffed to the brim with features.
To celebrate CNET's 5th birthday, we thought we'd take a trip through the best (and worst) of photographic developments over the past five years.
Here's looking at you, IXUS
We thought we'd kick celebrations off with a look at how Canon's styling department hasn't changed at all. On the left is an IXUS from 2004 when we launched (the IXUS 430) and on the right, the pocket rocket IXUS 100 IS from 2009. We suppose they're abiding by the "if you're onto a good thing" mantra a little too well.
Back then, 4-megapixel cameras were the norm. How quaint.

Ive got both and they are both great cameras for the price and for the non expert photographer.
