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

Canon Powershot SD890 IS 10MP Digital ELPH Camera - Best Selling Super-Savings Bundle


I am pleased with the Canon Elph camera. It is small and fits comfortably in my pocket and in my hand. My photos are clearer than those my son and husband can take with their Canon cameras.

One problem with the camera is that it is complicated to use. I had some trouble figuring out how to get it from display mode to photo mode. The Camera User Guide is not clear. It isn't conducive to reading from cover to cover, and often the index will refer one to several different places in the book.

On the whole, I am very pleased with the camera, and I am sure that with use I will learn to use its many features.

So far, I am very happy with the camera excpet for its look. It is very easy to operate and takes excellent photos.

These little Canons just get better and better, and I find myself leaving the big SLR at home much of the time, because this one fills most needs. The lenses are pro quality, which is what makes the difference between the powershot cameras and cheaper pocket cameras. I have a few quibbles about images taken in low light, but the pictures are still surprisingly good at high ISO. Facial recognition works very well.

Don't have much time to write this out, so this won't be especially helpful technically... but this is a great camera! It's very easy to use, and if you've owned a digital camera before you should have little trouble quickly mastering the techniques. I had strongly considered a typical "point and shoot" camera when considering my options (Nikon, Samsung, etc) because I wanted something easily portable. This is slightly thicker than some of the popular ones out there, but that quality of the photos more than makes up for it. Give it strong consideration when shopping around, it's worth it.

I got this camera a few weeks ago and I am so pleased! It takes great pictures and has an amazing range of options to make perfect picture taking easy. I previously had a Sony camera which also took really good pictures, but had a long delay before it actually took a picture. It also would flash twice if you were taking a picture that required flash. I suppose it had to do with the auto focus and red eye reduction, but nevertheless it was really annoying. Because I mostly use my camera to take pictures of my children, I felt I was losing a lot of great moments due to this delay. Also when I was taking pictures of adults they would often move after they saw the first flash because they thought the picture had been taken. But this Canon camera does not do either of these things and it makes taking great pictures so easy! I've also taken some terrific videos. I would recommend this camera to anyone!
