This camera I bought only in 2014, when I was looking for a small pocket camera with reasonable image quality.
I had to decide between Ixus 970 and Ixus 980, the latter with a larger sensor, it 14MP takes to 10 the Ixus 970 and both I've bought used and I can compare both. The more expensive and equipped with a larger sensor Ixus 980 was the big loser, the image quality in spite of larger sensor due to the excessive MP really bad, a lot of artifacts, image noise and and and ....
By contrast, the Ixus 970 works perfectly, can be operated relatively simple and works well in automatic mode. Nett is still the possibility of a time-lapse movie, however, * 480 to turn only at 640,. It is not for people who want to go deeper into the matter, it just makes fun to use, anyway (real photographers are indeed serious, prematurely aged man with a long beard and kick-down corners of the mouth), the results are truly outstanding.
I myself am an ambitious amateur photographer, had mostly a Nikon P7700, a Pentax MX-1 and a Nikon 1 V1 system with 2 Bodies, a 10-30 and 10-100 lens eimen and SB-N7 flash. Nevertheless, the Ixus 970 is the camera, which I have with me always, because it is so small. And that's important. What use is the most amazing camera if you do not have it ...
The Ixus 970 is really a camera with excellent image quality, considering its dimensions, it is a very large (for the inherent value ago), the color reproduction and white balance even fit almost always, a RundumSorglos camera.
A few years ago I came to the Ixus 970, but she had almost non-existent due to wide angle again very quickly from the radar. Today I'm just if necessary multi-row panoramas ...
Anyone have a low Ixus could get 970, you should grab. Small and beautiful, the gibts today only rarely in digital cameras, today everything is higher, faster, further, and above all more megapixels ....
