Digital camera Review: Great Camera SD890IS
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Digital camera Review: Great Camara
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Digital camera Review: One fantastic camera
Summary: 4 Stars
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 button itself requires some precision to activate. It's not difficult, or annoying to use, but again, I'm comparing it to my older sony camera, where it was a quick, simple flip.
3) The menuing system can be somewhat daunting to a new or novice user. Depending what mode your camera is in will change what menu options you're presented with. Using the camera && reading the manual will help with the familiarity process.
4) The spin dial (or whatever it's called). I have yet to see what benefit this dial has over the conventional directional pad. It's almost like a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it's quite helpful when you want to quickly flip through photos you've taken on the camera. On the other hand, it becomes challenging when trying to change scenes in scene mode, or when changing functions in the manual mode.
Overall, I love this camera. I bought it just before going on vacation, and was continually amazed by the quality of the photos and shutter speed performance throughout the trip. While traveling on a tour bus, I was able to take crystal clear photos of the countryside landscape, while the bus was traveling at about 60mph.
Digital camera Review: Canon SD890IS
Summary: 5 Stars
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 camera.
My girlfriend bought the SD750 and she is jealous of the pictures my camera takes.
Digital camera Review: 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 light, but even that is not bad. And remember the reasons you purchased an elph. Others brands may have higher mega pixels, but comparing this camera with it's one slight short fall that I noticed, it out shines the other brands in low light shooting capability, does better with noise problems, and macro capability! The size is great, again, fitting the need I required-something smaller. If you are looking for quality, ease of use, than consider the Canon SD890IS.
