Canon PowerShot SD970IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera Review
September 15th, 2009
Excellent: The resolution and size of the screen on this camera is absolutely incredible. Pictures and video look really sharp. Screen is anti-reflective too. HD video is outstanding. Taped a table tennis match, the video and sound was extremely clear and the movement was incredibly smooth, due to the 30 fps. I am not so impressed with camera’s auto mode, while indoors, yet. Colors were off, maybe due to the white balance and low light. I find myself using the “P” mode mostly and making small adjustments to the white balance and adjusting the “my colors” section. Overall its a beautiful looking camera and feels good in the hands. I like the two tone color scheme. You have to watch your fingers, on your left, hand so they don’t block the flash, it’s very easy to do.
Update: Digital Zoom.
Most people advise you to disable digital zoom because of the resolution degradation when using it, however on this camera the digital zoom is fantastic, with very little resolution degradation seen and digital zoom can be used while in Video mode.
Update Foliage Program mode,8/2009:
I have been using the foliage mode for outdoor scenic shots lately. In this mode the greens, blues, are brilliantly enhanced making scenic pics pop out with bright color, some may like or dislike for the colors do not represent the true colors viewed. For me this mode is cool, especially if the light your shooting in is not right, this mode will brighten the colors and make your photo less boring. I recommend previewing each shot before you move on to make sure the colors are not too saturated. I found that as the light changes this may happen.
