NewsX: Canon's PowerShot SD3500 IS is sort of a follow-up to 2009's SD980 IS in that it has a touch-screen LCD and features the same ultrawide-angle 24mm-equivalent lens with a 5x zoom. This time around, though, the resolution's been bumped up to 14 megapixels and the screen is larger with better resolution. But outside of those core features, the camera is somewhat unremarkable.

Touch-screen models from the likes of Sony, Samsung, and Nikon have generally been more fun to use than some of their non-touch-screen brethren thanks to some interesting touch features. The SD3500 IS just feels like a typical PowerShot with a touch screen.
