Conclusion
The Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS gave us nothing to complain about, and is undoubtedly amongst the best of its kind. With a sturdy frame, great design, a multitude of features, and such great performance, you can't really go wrong by investing in this baby. I recommend this to anyone who has deep pockets, and is looking for a ultra compact, feature-rich powerhouse.
