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
