When you're ready to experience a higher level of pace-setting technology and image brilliance, the PowerShot SD990 IS Digital ELPH is ready for you. One glance at the sleek, sculptured profile, and you know this is a camera driven by design and features. The PowerShot SD990 IS Digital ELPH has 3.7x optical zoom. A zoom opens up a world of possibilities in your photography. With many cameras, hand-held shots taken at the long end of the zoom can be marred by blur. The SD990 IS Digital ELPH incorporates Canon’s exclusive Optical Image Stabilizer. The technology detects and effectively cancels camera shake, for clear, sharp images every time. Minimize

Very poor Cannon 980IXUS , over rated

Author's Rating: 2/5 stars

Pros: None, taking it back, staying with the 10 times Optical Kodak 4 meg.

Cons: Poor picture quality the moment you zoom beyond 2 times, camera slow to process.

Bottom Line:
Poor image quality when using any zoom, slow to process images, 2 plus seconds till shutter is ready for next shot. Sorry i bought it.
