What is it: Plucky 10-megapixel compact point-and-shoot
What we think: Friendly but odd styling bubblewraps a capable point-and-shoot
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 2 April 2008
Tags: canon, optical, exposure, burst
We like:
Longer zoom; fast burst mode even with flash; decent image quality
We don't like:
Exposure compensation only; styling won't appeal to everyone
You might also need:
SD or SDHC cards -- it's bundled with a derisory 32MB SD
CNET.co.uk judgement:
After the slick angles and chic lines of recent IXUS', the bubbly, bulbous curves of the Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS have us nonplussed. We hate to judge a camera just on its looks, but the lack of features don't give us much choice. Still, if you've fallen in love with this cheery snapper, you haven't wasted your money

Photos: Hands-on with the Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS
The Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS is a 10-megapixel compact camera that's, well, funny-looking. We like funny-looking. It also has an enormous 5x zoom
