It a very awsome camera. My brother gave it to me as a birthday gift in 2013. I have been using so many digital camera. But I think it is the best camera. All my friends who had another cameras asked their parents to buy them CANON IXUS 285 HS. Now they are very happy to use it. Actually I showed them I click pictures through this camera. All the pictures are comparatively better than DSLR. We can call this camera a mini DSLR.
