Canon PowerShot SD970 IS Pro Reviews

ITreviews‘s review Edit Like Unlike

There's no doubting that the Digital IXUS 990 IS is beautiful to look at and produces high quality images as well as 720p HD movies, yet with its limited manual possibilities it's unattractively higher priced than similar models from the competition.

Canon announced the SD970 IS and nine other compact digitals this past February, and if our review model is any indicator of the quality and performance of the others, Canon's got a batch of winners on their hands.

At close to $400, Canon's PowerShot SD970 IS isn't cheap, but an expansive feature set, a top-notch interface, and amazing images help justify the high price.

With its compact size, straightforward operation, and capable image processor, the Canon PowerShot SD970 is another excellent offering in the Digital ELPH line. Featuring a 5x optical zoom lens with image stabilization, and a 12.1-megapixel CCD image sensor, the PowerShot SD970 is a good match for most average shooting conditions, with good exposure and color under a range of circumstances.

The Canon IXUS 990 IS is undeniably a very good camera. The build quality is above any reproach, the handling and performance are excellent, and the range of advanced features is as good as anything else on the market. The optical image stabilisation is particularly effective. However it is very expensive even when compared to its few direct competitors and it is not without a few minor faults, particularly low-light focusing and unnatural skin tones.

When it comes to point-and-shoot digicams it’s hard topping Canon’s better PowerShots. You’ll get fine snapshots but realize the SD970 IS is not the speediest camera on the block and if you’re into shutter speeds and f/stops this is not the right choice. The vast majority of casual photographers just want to aim-and-forget and the SD970 IS does a fine job for that task. You’ll like the colors and easy operation.

It's sexy, it's compact, and it's loaded with features. Canon's latest compact camera left us with very few gripes.

It might take a good picture, but the Canon PowerShot SD970 IS' feature-to-price ratio is disappointing.

Steve's Digicams‘s review Edit Like Unlike

This year's top of the line Digital ELPH, the PowerShot SD970 IS, is easy enough for anyone in the family to use while providing enough power and creative features to keep the novice photographer satisfied. Features like the 5x optical zoom, 12-Megapixel imaging sensor, Optical Image Stabilization and HD movie mode make the MSRP of US$379.99 worth the money if you are looking for a little extra power in your pocket.

If you must have a compact camera but need lots of pixels and a decent zoom then the 990IS is certainly a top performer. The range of functions and features is good and it’s easy to use. Image quality is very good with very little to be concerned about in that department.

The new Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS falls between two camps - it's too expensive for the casual snapper, and doesn't offer enough advanced features for the pros looking for a second pocket camera. It's undoubtedly a really nice camera to use, and therefore still easy to recommend, but there are better and cheaper alternatives, including from Canon themselves.
