Advantages: Easy to use, 5 x zoom, view finder plus screen, good price

Disadvantages: None at all

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. Canon are one of th few makes that still offer a view finder. The screen itself it great, showing you a good sized, clear picture. For such a compact camera, the 5 x optical zoom is impressive. The special functions for shooting snow, pets, fireworks etc etc ensure you can take great shots, with little skill involved in a range of situations. Overall a great camera and a good price.

Summary: Best camera I have owned!
