AMAZING camera for AMAZING price!!! This camera is TOTALLY AWESOME!!! :-) :-) :-) I am in LOVE!!! :-) :-) ;-) I had been using the Canon SD300, which I bought 3 years ago new (for more $), and this one BLOWS it away!!! (And fits in the same SMALL soft case, as this camera is just a bit thicker :-) ) The SD890IS is VERY easy to use and takes GREAT pictures!!! :-) :-) :-) The physical zoom range is AMAZING too!!! :-) :-) :-) The camera is nice and light to hold, and one can just point and shoot, or play with the settings; what...

Tiny, but Powerful The Canon Powershot SD890IS is a tiny camera, but a very powerful one. It makes wonderfully clear photos with little effort. It makes superb pictures with the Macro setting. Telephoto shots are good and clear, thanks to the great Image Stabilization. I even get really good images of moving vehicles, thanks to the Motion Detection. I charged the battery when I got it, and it is still going strong after I have taken at least a hundred photos. The SD890IS is a fine camera. I love it!

Amazing zoom This is the 4th Canon I have owned and my 3rd Elph...
Let me start by saying nothing can replace my SD 700 which I lost...
4x optical zoom, buttons were all in a good location, compact camera and LIGHT!! If they made the same camera with more mega pixels I would buy it in a second (even though the 6.3MP took very crisp pictures)
I purchased the SD 1100 and returned it 2 days later... I hated it. Zoom was awful pictures came out awful. I replaced it with a SD850
OK camera....

Great Camera as I expected I am not disappointed in this camera. It is carried in a shirt pocket with space to spare. The pictures it turns out are of great quality and the camrea operates smoothly.

Very Pleased with Camera and Amazon I was looking for another Canon camera to replace my SD700IS and couldn't find anything with comparable optics in that model. I found out about the new SD890IS but couldn't find anyone who had it available online or in a retail store within 120 miles of me. Google pointed me to Amazon who I would not have thought of for buying a camera, and not only did they have it in stock, but for less than the cost of gas, plus not having to waste a day traveling, I had the camera within 24 hours. It was als...

Comparing Canon PowerShot Digital ELPH cameras As a travel writer I spend a lot of time at Walt Disney World, and Canon PowerShot Digital Elphs are the most common cameras I see. Families seem to love them, because they're so easy to carry and operate. About the size of a deck of playing cards, each of these "pocket cameras" really do slip right into a pants pocket, and their rectangular designs make them easy to grip. Best of all, they all take good photos. (How do I know? Because I've actually gotten to use every one of these models. Nearl...

Solid, reliable digital camera This is my third Canon. It works great. I'm really pleased with my pictures and the longer zoom capability. I like the larger screen. My only complaint is the "on/off" switch. It's difficult to use.

Great Camera SD890IS Great Camera for everybody that wants a small handy and easy to use camera.
With out reading the manual, you can easily find your way in the menu structure. Especially the wheel on the back is very handy.

Great Camara I am not camara savy so I needed a camara that is easy to operate. This one fits the bill. It takes beautiful pictures, its small enough to fit in my pocketbook, and its easy to operate. What more can a person ask for.

One fantastic camera Pros: image quality, shutter speed, amazing zoom, fast power on, lots of advanced features, etc. etc. The technical specs, and performance of this camera far exceeded any expectations that I could have expected from a pocket-sized camera.
Cons (All minor):
1) Charging requires the removal of the battery from the camera, and it being inserted into a separate battery charger. I'm accustomed to my old sony camera, where it charges in it's own cradle.
2) The power b...

Canon SD890IS I bought this camera to take on a trip to China. It was great. The zoom goes to 20x and the motion stabilization means that the pictures are very clear - no blurring due to a bouncing or moving hand.
I took snaps in a theater w/o flash and they came out clear and bright.
Auto focus processing is about .5 secs. Image storage processing can take about 3 to 5 secs.
The battery is good for about 250 pictures. I didn't test for movie duration.
I'm very pleased with this...

Very nice I'm a Big fan of Canon products-(own a Canon Powershot Pro S5 and 20D), so you can understand why I was a bit shy about this purchase-wanting convenience without risking quality. I elected to try the Canon SD890IS because of the 10M with 5X Optical. Some talk about the surface getting "dinged" up but what's happening to mark their equipment so badly? This small but wonderful camera has all the quality and capability of my Canon Powershot Pro S5, with the exception of shooting as well in low ...

The best camera around! I have the 550 also, but this new 890is is simply the best.
It is a true 5x optical that is really amazing.
The movie mode is also the best, there is no need to have a video camera as it is so good!

Awsome Camera It is safe to say that this camera is the best camera I have ever owned. It is simple to learn. It is compact and small enough to fit into any small space. Although it is small it packs a powerful punch. The pictures are amazing. I have taken pictures that are just as good as some top SLR cameras. The on-off button is a little small and it makes a scratching noise when you zoom, but those are minor problems. The picture quality alone makes up for its cons. I have tried other point and sh...

Another wonderful camera from Canon! I have had this camera for about 3 weeks now and I absolutely love it! The shape, size, endless features .. especially face detection and total 20x zoom! Way too mamy features to mention here. Once again, Canon has done pretty much everything right. The on/off button requires the use of your finger nail, but that's only needed when turning off the camera. Pressing the play button, then hitting shutter the button, quickly has the camera ready for action. Certainly this camera will not get turne...

Good feature... cheap design First impressions of the camera is that it looks cheap. I'm not sure if this was done to save costs or lower the camera weight but the body appears cheap compared to the SD950IS. Considering it costs more I would expect them to put some more into the body. The zoom feature is nice but I rarely need to zoom in that much. I need more wide-angle if possible. I really like the circular wheel. It's not as sensitive as the touch wheel on the SD950IS which I seem to hit by accident. The power bu...

Scratch noise and power button useless Camera lens makes a scratch noise everytime you change certain settings (like ISO mode, Zoom). I have used lot of canon camera's and this is the first time, I am hearing this scratching noise. Very annoying. The Power ON/Off button is very small. Even thou I do not have big hands, I had to use my fingernail to shut off the camera. The button looks very flimsy. Not happy with overall product. Camera does takes good pictures. Haven't used it a whole lot yet, as I got it recently.

Best of the best camera This is the best camera I'd ever used. No need to chage any set up. Simply use "Auto" mode the camera change ISO and flash automatically. The Immage sterbilizer is excellent.
