 Good feature... cheap design May 9, 2008
26 out of 42 found this review helpful
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 button is a bit tough to turn on/off but that's good and bad. At least it won't go on by accident in your pocket. The body is much easier to hold than the SD950IS which because of it's design feels like my fingers are blocking the lens/flashlight/sensor.
Overall, I like the product but would expect this to cost about $50 less than the SD950IS.

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.
Canon 890IS Review May 20, 2008
19 out of 19 found this review helpful
Another great Canon Camera
Pros-
*5x Zoom gives you a closer shot than a typical point and shoot
*Control dial is similar to iPod touch wheel
*Selection modes arranged better (Auto, Manual, SCN, Video). The Playback is separate and easier to access
*Start up time immediate
*Little lag between shots
*Optical viewfinder
Cons-
*Shape of camera can make it hard to hold one handed
*Metal finish has a few scuffs already from only a weeks use
*Somewhat Pricey
I personally think it's a great camera for a basic traveler/camera buff who wants just a little more than a basic point and shoot. I needed it now, but it probably would have been wise to wait a few months for the price to come down.
 Best of the best camera May 4, 2008

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. (compare to Lumix I have) I turn off all light at night and shake my hand, picture turn out amazing !! There is no delay of taking each picture. It is really BEST of the BEST camera....
Scratch noise and power button useless May 6, 2008
15 out of 36 found this review helpful
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.
