Canon SD980 camera resembles Panasonic Lumix FX580 as it has all physical buttons like this model of Panasonic. Also it has the touch screen as a supplement. The gadget represents a hybrid, but not a makeover of a system with a total touch screen. There are only three options when you can use the touch screen, i.e. in shooting mode, image review and touch-selected auto focus lock.
PowerShot SD980 IS can impress you by its shape, different color, style and build. Despite the fact that it has an updated 3.0 inch display, you can easily slide your finger across the screen in order to look through captured images. You may see that it is quite heavy but in fact it is not. The camera contains a simple and familiar control layout and a quick menu of shooting options such as image size, white balance, compression and ISO setting.
In general the SD980 has a comfortable layout in spite of the fact that it has not got an ideal build for shooting when keeping the camera in one hand. The new Canon product has 22 pre-programmed scene modes and also defines the best exposure that is based on particular shooting conditions.
It is also important to mention that the touch screen interface cannot be activated automatically at any time you touch the screen, but only when you select a focus target.
Canon PowerShot SD980 IS delivers wonderful photos and videos providing very good quality, not depending whether you are going to use the touch screen or not. Even this camera does not provide extraordinary capabilities, it is quite expensive.
Just avail Canon PowerShot SD980 IS and you will estimate it at its true worth!
Canon PowerShot SD980 is beautiful and chic to look at but sometimes sacrifices practical concerns for that stylishness. The new touch-screen technology, though, performs impressively and you can also record 720p HD movies.
