Canon IXUS 980 ReviewCanon IXUS 980 Camera DesignAlso featuring Quick Shot, one of 20 automatic choices for modes, the camera is quick to respond to shooting objects that may be moving rather quickly. The answer to blur for this digital camera is the High ISO Auto and Motion Detection.  The
camera determines movement of the subject and the camera to provide the
best ISO. Servo AF is another aspect that
keeps track of the objects movement to allow them to remain focused
rather than turning out photos that are blurred.The I-Contrast is responsible for adjusting the brightness in areas of an image that may appear dark. The contrast is improved and the detail is kept even when the lighting is not optimum. The 2.5 LCD II is very good at providing contrast and color. The wide angle viewing allows framing to be much easier to accomplish as well as the navigation of the menu and playback. This is possible even when shooting at angles and in the bright sun. Also providing easy access to the menu, it is possible to set this feature to allow you to rapidly access the most used functions. The manual control function that is a first for the IXUS digital is perfect for non-typical lighting situations. It allows for control of the shutter speed as well as the aperture. Canon IXUS 980 Camera Features
The new DIGIC 4 image processor lows super
fast operation and low noise
for the images you shoot. This is a problem often associated with
digital compact cameras.If you are a photographer whose passion is photographing people, Face Detection Technology will be a plus for your camera. This feature is available in the 980 IS and is perfect for photos even when the person's face is angled away from the camera. With Face Select and Track, a new feature, the shutter is automatically triggered when a new face is detected within the frame. This allows the shooting of self-portraits much easier.The ability to shoot movies with high-quality and sound is another aspect of the 980 IS. Canon IXUS 980 Extra Features
In addition, the compression technology permits storage
of up to 40% additional footage to the memory card
than the IXUS 960 IS, which was the predecessor to the 980.This is accomplished without reducing the quality of the video. In conclusion, the IXUS 98 IS digital camera is lightweight, weighing in at about 5.64 ounces. The price ranges from £349.99 to €459.99. The still images seemed to lack a bit of the crisp color that was expected and there was a bit of a problem with high-contrast shots. Images seem not to be quite up to the par that they may have been if Canon might have chosen a little less resolution for this camera. When choosing an ultra compact digital camera, this is a good choice, but the features compared to the price are a bit debatable.
