 Canon Power Shot DS 980 IS Jul 14, 2010
This camera is amazing. It has no flaws, it is just perfect. Easy to use, stunning functions, lots of features. Everything that I would ever want. Touch screen options is fantastic. It might be a little complicated for those who are used to cheaper and much less sofisticated cameras.I have a dougbt that those who write bad reviews have no idea how to use good quality cameras. I would recommend to buy this digital camera not only my friends but everyone who is looking for something different and better than anything else that is out there. Canon has proved itself once again. I love high end technology and this camera could easily meet those requiremnets. Love, Love, Love. You won't be dissapointed. The pictures as well as video is truely fantastic quality. Only thing is that it might require several hours to get used to it. I would ask incompetent people to keep their reviews for themselves. Please do not mislead others with your absurd opinions.
Good small camera Jul 06, 2010
I like this compact camera. I bought this for one of my friend and I heard only good reviews about this camera from him. He liked the quality as well as touch screen feautre.
 Nice Features, takes time to get use to functions menu Jun 29, 2010
Likes: wide angle lens, size, wt.
Dislikes: controls are different from earlier models.
Not as easy or intuitive.
You can use the screen glass like an iPhone butt sort of.

Great Camera Jun 13, 2010
I am really happy with this camera. It's not a SLR replacement, but is very good and so much more practical in many situations.
I got the camera to take on a backpacking trip because I wanted to go as light as possible-- but still wanted to get good pics. The camera exceeded my expectations and delivered great images. I was really happy with the colors it produced. There are situations that the sharpness is a litte soft-- especially with the zoom and/or if you are trying to crop into the shot tight, but over-all the images are great. The wide angle is awesome!
The touch screen UI worked well and was pretty cool. However-- I found it was quicker to use the dedicated buttons on the right for quicker/tactile access to common features. I love it that this camera still has these buttons compared to the newer model which is all touch-screen.
I was also very happy with the video quality. The 720p clips looks great. I cut them into my 1080i HDV footage and it's hard to tell the difference. Zoom while shooting is digital and should be avoided.
I bought several extra batteries too, but I was pleased that I really only needed one extra as each battery lasted 7 days (about 500 pics) while in the wilderness. NOTE: I used minimal flash and shooting video will zap the battery much faster than pics.
PROS:
- Size
- Good/Great Images
- 24mm wide-angle is great
- Fast and accurate auto-focus
- Nice feature set and shot modes
- Touch screen cool, but...
- Still has vital physical buttons
- LCD is bright/vivid even outside
- Custom self timer (with multiple shots)
CONS:
- Sharpness with zoom
- Touch screen can be accidently activated
- Not a SLR replacement (but fits in my pocket)
Owning the right item and getting it at the right place Jun 03, 2010
This canon camera is easy to use and produces a quality picture. I have had a canon camera for years but this one is by far the best. And above all it was not as expensive as the others I have owned. And this version does much more then the others.I wish I had known about it earlier but it took a friend to point me in the right direction.I tried to purchase the camera at a store but I could not get the one I wanted so I went to online purchasing and used Amazon.com because I knew I could get what I wanted and without any difficulty.
