I had an older Pentax WP that is getting pretty banged up so I bought the SD890 and have been completely satisfied. Bought a Cannon 1200 for my wife and was very impressed with the features and quality of the camera. The macro feature is easy and very high quality.
It has all the modes which you may require. And have taken thousand of pics using this camera. It is small in size and can be easily fit in pocket. Like the camera. I am using it for last 1 year. Zoom is good in small sized camera.
Since I'm currently out of the country on a work assignment, they won't allow me to have an authorized canon service center in London repair it even though its an apparent known design defect. I bought my Canon SD980IS on 15 January 2010, recieved it on the 23 January 2010 and within 1 week and 6 photos later its no longer functioning with an "Memory Card Error" message. The only suggestion I can give is don't buy any Canon product as they don't stand behind their cameras
Her pictures are all taken on auto mode. It was clear and sharp. Canon has discontinued this model, so I grabbed it when I found it. She managed to find me and snapped a shot.
Pros: Shutter speed, image quality, amazing zoom, fast power on,+++Cons: None I have snapped many a picture guessing. Without a viewfinder, I can't see the screen in bright sunlight or at the beach, etc. She absolutely loves it. The picture quality is fantastic. She was sitting at Yankee Stadium on the 3rd base line, outfield, I was sitting on the first base line, outfield. I like her camera so much, I bought one this year for myself.
The sd890is lightweight and easy to carry, battery life is fantastic.I have always had Olympus cameras, so I had to get used to the menu and controls, I am still learning, but I love this camera. I bought this camera a year ago for my daughter for Christmas. The zoom is phenominal. Their upgrade to this model does not have a viewfinder (like so many other camers).
Then the price went up and I was not impressed with the company because of their scam of increasing the price and the camera not being available for purchase. I ordered it from another on-line company, it was not back ordered and ended up being less money and deliver excellent.
Think you should check on the source you recommended for my second purchase of this camera. I had purchased this camera back in April of last year but dropped the camera and it then didn't work any longer.
I hope you have creditied my account with the amount charged to my credit card. But I liked the camera so much I had tried to order another one just like but it all failed.
After ordering the camera and availability was there when ordered,and expecting delivery from the source you recommended, the source then said it was back orderedl. I will never use this source again when Amazon recommended.
I plan to send it back to Canon for perhaps a repair.
