Looks like that is sold in the USA as the " ELPH, SD990 IS" , ELPH?...IXUS?.... who comes up with these names??

Canon USA lists the ELPH line as "Stylish" cameras and not one of the "High-End, Advanced Digital Cameras" like the G series (G9, G10) or SX series (SX1 IS, SX10 IS) which have those modes you asked about, zoom lenses that start at a 28mm equivilent and the ability to shoot in RAW mode in at least the G10 & SX1 IS.

Maybe you should look at the "G" or "SX" lines.
