Canon PowerShot SD980 IS (gold)

THE GOOD: Small; good lens specs; appropriate mix of touch and button controls; HDMI output; excellent photo color, exposure. THE BAD: Wide-screen LCD size misleading; touch-screen interface not for everyone; no optical zoom while recording movies. THE BOTTOM LINE: The Canon PowerShot SD980 IS is a very good touch-screen camera for those on the fence about using a touch-screen camera.

Canon PowerShot SD980 IS ELPH review at Camera Labs

This is the feature everyone will be talking about and it provides the camera with one very useful trick - quick and simple manual focusing - all you have to do is point where you want it to focus and it's done. If you shoot a lot of movies on your camera, the screen’s 16:9 aspect ratio will also make...
