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

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.

I purchased this for my friend. He had a sony camera before and liked it very much.
I got this canon camera as a replacement for his lost sony camera and he is not satisfied with the picture quality and ease of use.

I purchased this camera to replace a 4 year old 7.2MP Sony Cybershot. The Sony was a very good camera except for one drawback. It has a hard time taking night time shots. They tended to come out blurry due to the long exposure and no image stabilization.
The Canon PowerShot takes great pictures in low light. It has the image stabilization and very easy way to change shutter speed to optimize the picture. The one negative issue is menu access. Reviewing photos on the camera is not very intuitive.
I recommend the Powershot for anyone looking for a basic point and shoot camera.

This is my first digital camera and it suits my needs just fine. I barely had to open the user guide to
get things going. Has great picture quality, very easy to use. The download to computer function
couldn't be easier. All you have to do is plug it in and unplug it when it is finished.

The only drawback I can think of is the size of the controls. I have small hands for a man and I have to
be careful when using the multiple buttons, wheels etc. I can't imagine a person with large hands having
an easy time with this.

I used to have a Kodak which was incredibly simple and easy to use. In comparison this is complicated for a casual user, for example deleting pictures and transferring is much more complicated than it was on the Kodak. It does take great pictures and I like the size of the camera and the display.
