Best for
The IXUS line was Canon's range of small, stylish point-and-shoot cameras. The 265 HS packs a long 12x zoom into a body that slips into a jacket pocket, so it covers everything from group shots to distant detail without changing lenses. It is a simple, automatic camera that suits anyone who wants more zoom than a phone.
Frequently asked questions
Is it easy to use for a beginner?
Yes. It is designed to be used in full auto: point, zoom and press the shutter. There are scene modes and a few creative settings if you want them, but no manual controls to learn.
Can I send photos to my phone?
Yes. It has built-in Wi-Fi and NFC and works with Canon's app for transferring pictures to a phone or tablet.
What memory card does it use?
A standard SD card. The listing's contents do not include one, so you will need your own; any SD, SDHC or SDXC card will do.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
