 The best camera around! May 27, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
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 May 24, 2008

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 shoot models and brands and nothing comes close.
 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.
 Good feature... cheap design May 9, 2008
25 out of 41 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.
Scratch noise and power button useless May 6, 2008
13 out of 34 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.
