The PowerShot SD970 IS / Digital IXUS 990 IS is a point and shoot camera. Its main benefit is a small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily.

The Canon PowerShot SD970 IS / Digital IXUS 990 IS can shoot pictures at 12 megapixels max resolution. But if you want to get better image quality the more important thing is a sensor size. This model has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the camera will shoot pictures with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it is more portable. But if you want to make pictures of the best quality pay attention to Nikon D5.
The PowerShot SD970 IS / Digital IXUS 990 IS has max shutter speed of 1/1600 sec. It is not very fast shutter speed but still you will be able to capture pictures of moving objects. The photographer will be able to record HD videos that guarantees a good picture quality.
The lens is fixed and the camera owner won't be able to switch it. The lens provides satisfactory 5x optical zoom.
