Your consumer point-and-shoot are ugly as sin. Fix it.]]>Oct 12th 2009 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/canon-powershot-sd980-is-unboxing-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/canon-powershot-sd980-is-unboxing-and-impressions/
I don't like touchscreens on a camera though. And I really really do not want smudge marks on my viewing area for something that is totally for visuals. ]]>Oct 12th 2009 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/canon-powershot-sd980-is-unboxing-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/canon-powershot-sd980-is-unboxing-and-impressions/Oct 12th 2009 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/canon-powershot-sd980-is-unboxing-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/canon-powershot-sd980-is-unboxing-and-impressions/Oct 12th 2009 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/canon-powershot-sd980-is-unboxing-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/canon-powershot-sd980-is-unboxing-and-impressions/

Photos are good (not superior) but for point and shoot is bit over the standard.

Video is pretty good for the size and has a 10 min limit which is just perfect for my day to day stuff.

Display is sensitive (more desired) and more useful than presented in this post- yet not a full blow touch capabilities I would like, but if you read the manual you find quite many shortcuts that I enjoy every time

In the end it is point and shoot and more targeted for the non technical/professional group that will want to control the shutter speed and exposure.

The rep was surprised when he was snapping pictures at his office. I would imagine this could all be fixed via software/firmware update in the future, but for now it is going back.

As for the touch to snap picture, it is an option when you hold camera vertical, but again guess this could be fixed via firmware to allow when holding camera normal.

I am not one to custom program settings to get a good picture.]]>Oct 12th 2009 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/canon-powershot-sd980-is-unboxing-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/canon-powershot-sd980-is-unboxing-and-impressions/Oct 12th 2009 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/canon-powershot-sd980-is-unboxing-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/canon-powershot-sd980-is-unboxing-and-impressions/
Today when playing with the Samsung, I was blown away by the excellent speed and usability of the touch screen - and the pracitcal use of the front mini LCD. To date, Samsung have been so so with their digicams, but go try the ST550, in particular browsing through photos on the huge touch screen - it is even better than the iPhone / iPod Touch. In a way, I wish Samsung would license iPhone OS and turn the thing into a phone camera so I could blog the pictures to the web from anywhere!

Canon? Try again!
