Unusually for a modern compact camera, the IXUS Wireless has a comparatively small 2in LCD monitor and a good quality optical viewfinder. This is very useful for saving battery power, since you can turn the monitor screen off and take photos the old-fashioned way. The Wireless has a fairly small 760mAh Li-ion battery that is good for only about 150 shots on a full charge, so anything that can extend this is a good idea.
On the front we find a compact 3x optical zoom lens that retracts right into the camera body, giving the Wireless a very slim profile, just 21.7mm thick. Above the lens is a small AF illuminator for low light focusing, which has an effective range of about two metres. There is also a reasonably powerful built-in flash which has excellent frame coverage and a range of 3.5m at wide angle or 2m at full zoom.
