Canon PowerShot SD980 IS

When it comes to the new Canon PowerShot SD980 IS, the most important tool that you have at your disposal will be your own finger. This camera presents Canon's very first foray into the touch panel interface technology.

With just a glide of your finger across the SD980's three inch PureColor System LCD panel, you have access to most of this camera's controls. Very responsive to the slightest touch, Canon gives its users a fun way to take part in and interact with technology. Touch AF will be your primary means of operating the touch panel. You can center your finger on a certain spot within the frame and move it in different directions. Moving your finger upwards then left allows you to do certain things like erasing, tagging images in the playback mode, and even rotating.

Just because the SD980 has found a way to integrate the touch screen technology into its digital camera doesn't mean that it's completely done away with any kind of physical button controls. Buttons like Menu and Playback are still present on the camera, a surprising feature on this touch screen-driven digital camera. Fans of button controls are likely to be pleased that they won't have to entirely rely on their fingers while operating the camera.

HD movie recording is another high point in this camera's features. Not only are users able to record videos in HD, but you can even have the benefit of watching still photos and movies in high definition. Included is a mini-HDMI connector to directly connect to your HD monitor to enjoy all of your videos. Take full advantage of your experience in high definition by displaying up to one hundred thirty photo thumbnails at the same time.

Don't forget about the powerful zoom. With a 5x optical zoom, you get the versatility of getting as close to your subject as you need to be, and you can frame them however you like. Together with an ultra wide-angle lens and a focal length of 24-120 mm–the equivalent of 35 mm–you shouldn't have any trouble capturing your very best photos. Canon's Optical Image Stabilization even makes sure that all of your images are stable by controlling the camera shake.

If that's not enough for you, then you'll be glad to know that Canon has incorporated a smart feature into this digital camera to help you get the most out of every shot. You can choose from modes such as Foliage, Portrait, Snow, Sunset, Beach, and lots more.
