Review Summary It might take a good picture, but the Canon PowerShot SD970 IS' feature-to-price ratio is disappointing. The Canon PowerShot SD980 IS is a very good touch-screen camera for those on the fence about using a touch-screen camera. One of the best ultracompacts available, the Canon PowerShot SD940 IS nonetheless falls short of greatness in performance and photo quality. As long as you don't want much in the way of manual features, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 is a very nice camera that can handle a variety of shooting situations. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 is an excellent, well-balanced compact camera.
