I've had many Canon cameras. And as far as point and shoot go, this is by far one of the best ones!
I love it!

I took 2 photos
one (1) with my Canon PowerShot 890 and one (1) with the 970 I bought.(which I am sending back!) I took them in identical lighting conditions of the same subject (my Russian Peterbald) THE LOSS of detail!! and this is a higher megapixel then my 890 is unreal. I am so disappointed. The cam body is also lighter then my 890. The screen on the 970 is great. The hd video EH not that much difference although there is an improvement but this cam is going back. I am sorry you should not have to set and manipulate etc a cam it should take CLEAR photos in auto bc as we all know not everyone has the time to sit there and change settings you need something that fires up and bam. OH and by the way, I develop film, use a manual cam as well, but I like having a point and shoot handy for those moments where u just need to quickly take a pic. I cannot believe the loss of detail..my jaw dropped. The only comparison I can make is if you took a photo in photoshop or adobe and added blur to the entire picture.
where as the old cam you could see the whiskers, the fur on in PERFECT detail etc, pores etc, the NEW SD970, YOU COULD SEE NOTHING, THERE WAS NOT DETAIL everything was eh, you could see my Russian Peterbald, but if you tried to zoom in at all, grain, nothing, zero NO DETAIL, if u care about ur photos, or details, or plan to edit or don't ...DO NOT GET THIS CAM
oh and btw I will be MORE THEN HAPPY to send the test shots to ANYONE side by side...as they are coded as to which cam took which shot, and u can see for urself
 Great camera! February 1, 2010

I have used several Canon digital Elph cameras and have enjoyed them. Generally they take great pictures and fit well in your pocket. I have also used Canon DSLR's including a D20 (which I absolutely love), Digital Rebel, and the new 7D.
I understand that a point and shoot camera will have a slight delay compared to a SLR, but the SD970IS DELAY IS SO BAD that the camera is almost not functional. I have missed too many shots and cursed at this camera too many times. The 720p video is nice, but that is all this camera is good for.
Sorry Canon, I love your cameras, just not this one.
Good camera and great service January 24, 2010

Didn't have a lot of time with this camera just yet, but I first used it for a wedding and had a lot of fun finding its features. The buttons are a bit stiff for ease of use, but once you get used to it, and are sure to be careful, it works just fine. Canon provided great service for some of my camera's problems, so now it works very well. I don't know about the price, since many cheaper cameras have the same features, but the zoom blur and creative light options add a bit of fun to the camera. Great for a point and shoot.
