Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS Images

By Rich Trenholm on 04/04/2008

More Canon reviews , RRP: AU$549.00

The good:

  • 5x optical zoom
  • Fast burst mode even with flash
  • Decent image quality

The bad:

  • Exposure compensation only
  • Styling won't appeal to everyone

The bottomline:

Compared to the slick angles and chic lines of recent IXUS', the bubbly, bulbous curves of the Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS have us nonplussed. We hate to judge a camera just on its looks, but the lack of features don't give us much choice. Still, if you've fallen in love with this cheery snapper, you haven't wasted your money.
