Canon PowerShot 980 IS Review



The Canon Powershot 980 IS is a sweet point and shoot digital camera that delivers amazing results and HD video. The 980 IS captures HD video in 720p. It has a 5x digital zoom. All images and video are captured to an SD digital card.

You will love the 3.0 inch color LCD. An LCD this large will allow you to clearly see the subject you are shooting pictures or video of.

If you are looking for a compact and easy to shoot camera, I’m sure you will be pleased with this Canon 980 PowerShot.

Shooting HD Video With A Digital Point & Shoot Camera

Below I have posted some test footage shot from the Canon 980 for you to see the wonderful HD quality video you receive from this camera.

As you watch the Canon 980 review test video below, keep in mind that I have converted the video to flash format to view here on the site. The quality is still amazing. Just imagine what the original video quality looks like on your computer. It’s quite awesome!
