5 out of 5 stars Fine Camera   July 29, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I purchased the Canon SD890IS about a month ago, after my Olympus Stylist 400 was stolen. I read many reviews, but I have had a Canon 35mm camera for years, and know its reputation. This camera does not disappoint.
I find it takes great pictures, and so far the image stabilization feature has given me excellent and sharp pictures, even at low light levels.
The camera has many more features than I will ever use, but I particularly like the large screen and the optical viewfinder. If I were to offer any criticism, I would like to see the instruction manual be enlarged (it is 230 pages) with more instructions on how to use the advanced features.
Nicely built, small size, and the battery really lasts. The 5X optical zoom is a great feature.

I got this camera for my 14 year daughter and she loves it. She found it easy to use and takes hundrends of pictures.


5 out of 5 stars The best camera available for its category.   July 19, 2008

Most reviews offer too much information. If you want great digital photos at a great price (you get what you pay for), this is the best out there today. Forget about speeds, delays, body color, and yadda yadda yadda. . . .I mean, isn't point and click the idea here?

My family has purchased, over the years, several versions of this camera starting the first Elph version about five years ago. I have a Canon XT also and multiple lenses and do a lot of amateur photography. We have been really happy with our Canon equipment. It's not as flashy with all the bells and whistles of some of the other manufacturers but the quality is good and the firm reliable.

We were going to Italy and France for two weeks and I didn't want to lug around all the XT lenses. We were determined to both carry laptops but NOT check luggage and so really needed to minimize the camera equipment. We would be on planes, trains, buses and partly on foot (we stayed three nights in Careno, Italy, a pedestrian only village in Lake Como).

I searched through the various Elphs and picked this one for the 5x zoom and image stabilization features. We carried along the camera's USB cord to download photos to the laptop, an extra battery and the battery charger and that was it. Oh, a little plug adapter for European wall plugs (the battery charger works in Europe so you don't need a converter, just the wall adapter). The setup is much like earlier Elphs so the learning curve was easy. I didn't discover until quite late that there was a wide-angle option on the camera and wished I had realized that earlier.

We took almost 1,000 photos with in on the trip. The quality of the photos is great, and the ability to slip the camera into a pocket such a plus. We'll be carrying this little baby along on other trips and I'll save the big one for stationary visits.



4 out of 5 stars fantastic camera   July 17, 2008

This PowerShot SD890IS is fantastic! I took several pictures while we were driving on the high way at 75 MPH, and the pictures turned out to be fine, just like I took them when I was standing on the ground. Also it offers several special modes which are very useful. I can't imagine that it could take clear pictures of firework and sunset! I bought a SD600 before, that one couldn't take pictures of firework at all. But SD890IS is great! All most like a professional camera!
One disadvantage is that the battery runs out very fast, I have to recharge it everyday. And if I choose the largest size of the photos, the files are too big and fill up the memory card very soon. I had to change the picture size to M2.
