Canon Digital Ixus 980 IS ... SDHC, MMCplus - silver / The 14.7 MP Digital IXUS 980 IS blends technical excellence with a unique, stylish black or silver design. Powered by Canon's DIGIC 4 processor, it combines advanced auto features with manual control.

The first Digital IXUS with manual control, the Digital IXUS 980 IS allows shooting in more demanding conditions, or creative experimentation. A further 20 automatic modes include QuickShot, for extra-responsive shooting of fast moving objects or fleeting events.

The Digital IXUS 980 IS combats blur with High ISO Auto and Motion Detection technology, which ascertains movement of both camera and subject to set the optimum ISO. Servo AF tracks moving subjects to ensure they remain in focus.

When you have a powerful camera like this, its hard not to be tempted to print out your photographs in formats up to 15 x 11 inches and fill your houses. After a few, it does become like an addiction. This camera has a newly developed "Digit 4" processor which is supposed to improve the delay between shots, on average there was a 2.1 second delay between each shot when shooting in single shot mode. This amount of delay is...more

Crowned Review Canon Digital Ixus 980 IS: A Canon that lacks firepower. (MY 100TH DOOYOO REVIEW)!! (2443 words)

Canon has been producing great quality cameras since Jesus was a lad, both in the compact digital and the DSLR market. Their cameras regularly combine great looks with awesome technology and performance and the Canon IXUS 980 IS follows that pattern, well as long as you buy it in silver it does because the black version just isn't as good looking by far. This point and shoot digital camera has a huge 14.7 megapixels and it uses Canon's latest DIGIC 4 processor, it allows simple automatic operation or can be used on almost full manual controls giving the user a real opportunity to take their photography to another level. Unlike most digital point and ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Power Ixus in a sleek body (476 words)
by - written on 25/07/09 (Very useful, 40 readings)
Rating:

The Digital Ixus 980 IS even looks promising even just based on its aesthetic appearance. The camera's smooth and elegant styling, would not look out of place whilst making a fashion statement, yet it manages to deliver a good performance that is backed up by quality. The camera has a 14.7 megapixel resolution, which is quite high, making it not a problem if you do decide to print the photos in large format or use them as wallpapers. However, having such a high megapixel does come with the issue of the amount of space it takes up, since a 1 GB memory capacity is decent for a camera with lower megapixel, it would not be able to store many shots, especially if ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Canon Digital Ixus 980 IS: Great high quality photographs (573 words)
by - written on 04/01/09 (Very useful, 151 readings)

I purchased this Camera in black last week and I love it. The Canon IXUS 980 has 14.7 megapixels, a 3.7 optical zoom lens and a view finder. What I personally love about this camera is that it is a very professional camera and takes good high quality shots while still being easy to use. I would defiantly say it is a camera that is more attractive to somebody who is willing to pay more for a better quality. I paid £230 for the Camera. So this is pricey for a digital camera but definitely worth it. Here are the manufactures specifications taken from the website Type of Camera - Compact digital Still camera with built-in flash, ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review A briliant stylish camera. (402 words)

I purchased this camera for my aunt who loved it. It is really easy to use and has a brilliant picture quality with 14.7mp. Canon is one of those brands you feel you can trust and it has to be said that they do produce good quality goods. This camera is reliable and hasn't broke in the time she has had it despite the fact that she doesn't take much precaution to keep it safe. ( she doesn't use a camera cover or anything.) It has been dropped a few times and has been scratched but its performance hasn't been affected by this and it still works perfectly. It has a sleek elegant design and is small so it will fit easily into a handbag or pocket. The battery life is really ...  Read the complete review
