Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS review


Summary: : Friendly but odd styling bubblewraps a capable point-and-shoot... Read the full review
Verdict: After 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
Pros: ; Longer zoom; fast burst mode even with flash; decent image quality
Cons: ; Exposure compensation only; styling won't appeal to everyone
