The Canon Ixus 970 IS, a camera that features a smooth and sleek design style. The size of the lens makes you wonder about the capabilities of the camera in terms of zoom. The t10 megapixel compact, is armed with a 37mm to 185mm lens, that explains its 5x zoom which is not the highest, but it is quite substantial for normal photography and the occasional distant zoom. The camera is also decent when taking photos in crowed places, that can sometimes be disastrous.

I have even had positive comments about those ones from a professional photographer. I probably don't use half the features that it is capable of, but the ones ...  Read the complete review

I've always fancied myself taking beautiful, atmospheric shots or having the best smaps from a friend's wedding, totally capturing the moment. The reality is that I'm not too great with techinical things! That is the great thing about the Canon Digital Ixus 970 .... while it has all the applications for those people skilled with techinical stuff, it is so easy to use that even the technology-terrified can take great photos. I was looking specifically for a camera with a view finder. In really bright conditions you just can't see what you are aiming at with the screen only.
