Camera Labs has reviewed the Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS compact camera (known as Canon PowerShot SD 990 IS ELPH in North America). This digital camera has a total of 14.7 megapixels crammed into the image sensor which should be enough megapixels for most photographers.

Some key features for the Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS / PowerShot SD 990 IS:
-14.7 megapixels
-2.5″ LCD screen
-3.7 x optical zoom (36-133mm, f/2.8-5.8)
-Image stabilization

Camera Labs ends up giving the Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS camera a “Recommended” 82% score. The Canon camera has massive resolution but the improved number of megapixels does not improve the image quality compared to a 12 megapixel sensor. The camera scores high on build quality and features, but a little lower on value and handling.
