Hi Friends
I have a Canon Pewrshot 430 camera, gives good result, now i want to upgrade to some high quality compact camera, i want canon only , but when i search on Canon website i found Canon 980 Ixus but there r no Manual, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority modes, no Wide angle lens, i searched in Powershot section most camera donot offer PSAM modes,meanwhile i found a previous model 590 IS has PSAM modes. My question is that why donot canon include PSAM modes in high tech cameras like Ixus 980, Ixus 870 etc. They have already given PSAM modes in cheaper cameras like Powershot 590 IS, my another querry is that why Canon do not make compacts with 25mm or wide lenses ?? There r other camera makers like Panasonic, samsung, Nikon all r making cameras with wide lenses.
Since i am loyal to Canon and i donot want to shift to other make that is why i am asking Canon and canon users, why donot they make a compact with wide angle lens and PSAM functions.

Thanks
alok
