Canon PowerShot SD890IS 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom: Customer Reviews & Product Details

I used this camera only for two months, and it died right in the middle of our trip in Israel. It was a problem to expand/pull out lenses. I got system error message on the screen, and it was completely out of use, not even see pictures.

I tried out this camera as well as another Canon (SX200) and a Panasonic Lumix SZ1. These last two really are in another league from the sd890. But I was so impressed with what the sd 890 can do for its size, and actually the colour in the automatic mode is what in my opinion set it apart. The colour is true and natural. The flash indoor shots are beautiful, with natural colour and good saturation. I wanted a camera that I could leave in automatic mode and not think about anything other than capturing a good shot. This camera lets me do that easily. When it was first introduced, it was expensive but is now available at a very good price because it's discontinued. For some reason some people really don't like the design, but I think it's very cool. It feels very good in your hand - very smooth with nothing jutting out. You soon get used to the on/off button and how to hold the camera so that it doesn't feel like it's going to slip out of your hand. Don't hesitate to check it out. It's a very, very nice little camera. (By the way, I ended up purchasing the sd890. I will do another review after I've had the camera for awhile.)

The camera is a small compact camera. I like it because if you shake just a little when you take the picture it does not come up blurred like some cameras. It is taking me a little while to figure out how to operate the camera. Overall it takes great pictures.Out of all the camera I had I like this one the best.

This is an excellent product. This is much better than other Canon models. The grip is not so good but we got used to it. The picture quality is very good. I love the picture modes. Awesome. Picture mode selection using jog dial is not user friendly. Look is very stylish and not like other cheap canon digicams. Finally, we love it.

I have taken many indoor shots and was able to review them without any problems. When outside the lcd screen would not work. It was comletely dark. I took some pictures using the optical viewfinder but could not review them. When I came indoors I was going to read the owners manual but when I reviewed the pics the Lcd was working. It turns out that if I was wearing my polaroid sunglasses the screen looked completely dark. That's the only trouble I have with this camera. I have had this camera for three months now.
