    I think the review say it. The front LCD is very intuitive and useful I just got mine from HN and absolutely love it, don’t understand how others haven’t thought about it

    I thought these were cameras were for everyone? But you paid out on the Samsung camera for its useless front lcd... oh hold on... theres a samsung camera ad on the right of the page. Makes sense now.

    As soon as we get the IXUS 990IS to test, we'll let you know.

    The Canon Digital IXUS 870 IS has been discontinued :(

    Is the IXUS 990IS equally good?

    I still think the good old Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ2 is worth a mention in dispatches. Although dated it manages to bat above its weight and delivers quality pictures which surpass many 4 megapixel cameras.... and has a 12x optical zoom!!
