About the Canon PowerShot SD990 IS (Digital IXUS 980 IS)
The Canon PowerShot SD990 IS (Digital IXUS 980 IS), released in September 2008, is a high-resolution model with about 15 effective megapixels on a 1/1.7-type CCD. The lens covers 36-133 mm in 35 mm terms at F2.8-5.8, a 3.7x optical zoom, starting a little tighter than a 28 mm wide-angle.
The rear screen is 2.5 inches. The body measures 98 (W) x 62 (H) x 28 (D) mm and weighs about 205 g. It runs on the dedicated NB-5L battery and saves to SD or SDHC cards. Pairing a larger-than-usual sensor with a high pixel count suits those who care about fine detail. The IS in its name denotes image stabilization. The F2.8 opening at the wide end gives the lens a reasonably bright start for indoor scenes.
Buying one used
The battery is the dedicated NB-5L, so check its endurance and whether a charger is included. Confirm SD or SDHC recognition, smooth lens extension, and a clean 2.5-inch screen on this roughly 205 g body.
