The Bottom Line	Canon's SD950 IS looks great and can take very nice images, but the digital camera's whopping 12 megapixels will leave you waiting between shots.	As long as you're not expecting dSLR speed in a tiny body, the Canon PowerShot S90 is an excellent compact camera for advanced amateurs.	One of the best ultracompacts available, the Canon PowerShot SD940 IS nonetheless falls short of greatness in performance and photo quality.	The Canon PowerShot SD980 IS is a very good touch-screen camera for those on the fence about using a touch-screen camera.	The Canon PowerShot SD990 IS is a fine ultracompact camera, but its price-to-feature benefits are questionable.
