Quick review
- The good
- Good low ISO image quality, all-metal build and curvy design, features
- The bad
- High ISO image noise, some controls slow to use, organic curvy design might not be to everyone’s taste
- Verdict
- The IXUS 980IS is a breath of fresh air in terms of its design and usability and featuring as it does a lot of the meat from the top end PowerShot G10, it is a real contender for those looking for a tough and pocketable digital compact
