Indoors the IXUS 40 was one of the few cameras I have tested to over expose (pictures on the bright side) in really low light. This causes a slight loss of detail, but you may find this preferable to some of the darker images produced by other digital cameras. The indoor portrait is fine although there is a slight loss of definition in the hair.
