: Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS Review

The new Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS (also known as the PowerShot SD990 IS in North America) is currently the highest-resolution Canon compact camera, offering a massive 14.7 megapixels. Even more attractive to all keen photographers is the addition of a manual Mode that allows control of shutter speed and aperture, making the 980 IS the first ever IXUS to allow true creative control. There’s also a new QuickShot mode that uses the optical viewfinder for framing and focusing, virtually eliminating shutter lag. Is the Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS worth the rather steep price-tag of £349.99 / $399.99 / €459.99? Read our 300th (!) product review to find out…
