Incredible
(5 out of 5) by Lewis Spindlove on Mar 20, 2009 (Bristol, UK)Fantastic shots, great solid feel, professional results. Don't believe people saying that 14.7mp is too large for a sensor of this size, none of the shots feel like they've been crammed. Taking such massive photos even in superfine mode is very fast.

Not as good as I had hoped
(3 out of 5) by Colin V. Scott on Jun 13, 2009 (Hampshire UK)I was very disappointed with the auto focussing on the 980IS. I also have an Ixus 750 and IXUS 400 both of which gave a clearer image. I was so disappointed in fact that I assumed that there was a fault on the camera and got a replacement. The new one is better but in my opinion, compared to the other two not as clear.
Would I buy another - No. Would I recommend it to anyone else - No

Great little camera!
(5 out of 5) by Mr. K. C. Butler on Mar 29, 2009 (Buckinghamshire UK)Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS Camera - Black (14.7MP, 3.7x Optical Zoom) 2.5" PureColor LCD II Viewfinder
This camera fulfils all our expectations - its size fits into pockets, bags or any small space easily. Also it fits comfortably into your hand, though it is necessary to use the wrist strap as it is very smooth.
The photo quality is excellent, professional in fact even for an amateur photographer. The price you pay for this is a photo that is a bit heavy on MB. The zoom is easy to use and close at hand.
The peep sight is somewhat small but you get used to it.
Altogether I could really recommend this gem for fast picture taking and for your more serious shots as well.

Excellent
(4 out of 5) by C. Owen on May 9, 2009 (London)The only thing missing; the ability to stitch a panoramic series on the camera. Yes, you can do it with the software, but the HP version of this facility is far better.
