  Review : Canon Ixus 980IS
  By paul_smart
  
  Review summary: This is another in the range of marvellous Canon Ixus offerings that I have enjoyed reviewing over the years. Not only me but those of my friends who have taken my advice and purchased one of these little Ixus offerings.
  
  Verdict: I was perfectly happy with results taken with and without flash; with and without zoom in fact this was nearly a perfect unit. My only complaint the stiff on/off button and I do not consider that a minus point so why am I not recommending it for a ...

  Review summary: Test review of the Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS digital camera

  Cons: Price, LCD could be larger, cramped button layout
  
  Verdict: Overall then, performance is excellent with the IXUS 980IS, though this is what you'd hope from a camera with its price tag. The 980IS features an SRP of £389, which it's safe to say is at the high end of the compact market. This price has now dropped ...

  Canon IXUS 980IS
  
  Review summary: It's a politically correct world we live in, so it's nice to see the Canon IXUS 980IS with its well-round...

  Cons: Too many menus, Best shot switch is too firm, Portraits are a bit flat
  
  Verdict: The results I got from the IXUS 980IS are good quality, colourful and sharp. Exactly what I expected, but does that mean that it's reliable or predictable? That depends on your own perception of the results. I don't like the portrait shots but I ...

  Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS
  By Joshua Goldman
  
  Review summary: Top dog for the moment, the Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS has the highest resolution in its family -- 15 megapixels. It delivers excellent photo quality, offers plenty of shooting options, and its looks are characteristic of Canon's recent willingness to ...
  
  Pros: Excellent picture quality ; very good shooting options for its size
  
  Cons: Disappointing lens specs ; mixed performance ; high-resolution sensor adds little benefit ; no HD video
  
  Verdict: The Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS is a fine compact camera, but its feature benefits are questionable, given the high price tag -- Canon offers equally good image quality in lower-res models
