Product DescriptionCanon’s iconic ELPH has always been a show-off, with the looks and smarts that make you want to carry it out in the open for everyone to see.

The camera that invented sleek and slim is equipped with a huge 3-inch PureColor System LCD screen that responds to your touch, delivering operation that’s as natural and intuitive as cutting-edge technology should be. Just touch your finger to the huge 3. 0-inch PureColor System LCD panel and the PowerShot SD980 IS responds – creating a fun, natural interface that’s just the way you want to interact with technology now. When shooting, you can choose an AF point, select a shooting mode, operate the flash, set exposure compensation and more. Playback functions are also performed at your touch: switch between images, scroll display, magnify a portion of an image and control movie playback. . . . [. . ]

what’s the difference between canon SD980 and canon SD980 ELPH? They are the same price, but SD980 ELPH is combined with lots of useful stuff such as tripod, case, battery, SDHC card and reader. . .

I was all set to order this camera to replace my SD870 which I loved. My old camera was stolen or else I would still have it. I had 3 big needs for a camera: 1. Wide angle capability 2. Good picture quality and 3. A 3″ screen, so I could see if someone eyes were closed. This camera seemed to have it all until I actually saw one in person. The screen is not 3″ when using it as a camera, it is barely a 2. 5″ screen. It is a wide angle screen, but you only use the full screen when in movie mode. The rest of the time, you lose 1/2 on each side for the “touch screen”. I was very disappointed and decided not to buy this camera.

I have had canons for decades – for point and shoot, my sd880(?) is still dynamite – starts quick, zooms quick, great image – this one not so much – don’t like mushy pixel structure – more pixels does not equal better overall image quality – focus did weird in-out dance on subjects that should have been easy to focus on – will try s90 for another 100 bucks more for low light and raw files. . . fingers crossed.
