2 out of 5 stars Wow. Do take heed. ON/OFF button issue - not just for nitpickers.   January 7, 2009
I just received the camera, but after having inspected it once, it was enough for me to put it back in the original box for a return. I'd read a number of both professional and user reviews before I bought this camera, but it seems that my research was based solely on picture quality and performance while leaving out other important things like finish and design. Although before my purchase I did notice a couple of reviewers complaining about a flimsy, cheap power button that came with this model, having owned many canons before, I quickly disregarded them as the voice of nitpickers who always found something to complain about. It turns out that wasn't the case. The problem was quite real. The button, which is designed differently from other canon models that I know of, feels completely loose and broken. There's absolutely no firmness to it and feels like it's just sitting there. You don't get any resistance or "tactile feedback" when you press it. Now this has happened to one more customer who purchased this camera. Please do take heed.


3 out of 5 stars It's the on off button   December 27, 2008
  4 out of 4 found this review helpful

While I have read of some people's problems with the unusual shape of the on-off button, that wasn't my problem. After 2 or three shots and struggling to get the button to work, it just didn't. The images I were able with the camera were amazingly good - good color balance and detail. But the flimsy on off-switch?
Amazon was great and accepted the return no questions asked. Even paid for the postage. Maybe I just got a dud, but I didn't want to make the same mistake again and am getting a different camera instead.



5 out of 5 stars Great Picture Quality   December 26, 2008
The picture quality of this camera is very good both indoor and outdoor. I agree with a few of the reviews that the on/off button is a little difficult and I would prefer a 3 inch LCD screen with no view finder, but with all that said the most important aspect of a camera for me is picture quality and this camera does not dissapoint. I took approximately 150 pictures between Christmas Eve and Christmas day and only about 5 of the pictures were blurry or out of focus.


5 out of 5 stars Canon Powershot SD890IS   December 22, 2008
This is an excellent camera choice. It's easy to understand and takes great pictures. Canon products are the best when it comes to photography.


5 out of 5 stars super camera   December 21, 2008
This camera is far better than I imagined. Great picture with such a small product.The elf is so far improved over the last cannon I had.Great value. I highly recommend this camera for the novice person that dosen't know about all those settings on other cameras.Point it and click.
