Rank 13 out of 34CHIP OnlineBeste Digitalkamera bis 200 Euro: Schöne Fotos zum kleinen PreisReleaseSeptember 2015

Die Auswahl an Kompaktkameras ist immens, um eine solche handelt es sich bei der Canon IXUS 170. Sie ist mit einem Preis von nur etwas mehr als 100 Euro zur absoluten Einstiegsklasse zu zählen, gehört bei diesem Preis jedoch durchaus zu den besseren Alternativen. Dennoch darf man die Ansprüche an die Kamera nicht allzu hoch schrauben, wobei dies gerade für die Bereiche Ausstattung und Handling gilt...

Stiftung WarentestSingle testReleaseJune 2015

Besonders kleine, flache und leichte Kompaktkamera, für automatische Bilder. Für eine anspruchsvolle Kompaktkamera preisgünstig. Schwäche: bei wenig Licht nur mäßig. Unter dem Strich jedoch annehmbar.
