I love this camera! However, after owning it for three months, it no longer works. Amazon.com was not at all helpful in this process. I had to send it back to Canon for repair, which will take 3 weeks or more.

I am disapointed with the quality of the product, but when it was working, it did work fine.

Excellent all round camera., November 23, 2008


I love this camera. I use it for taking short films of my son's fencing matches. The camera records video in mpg format so most video editing software works well with the the camera.

The battery life is great I have never had it fail me during use. I do carry a spare but have yet to need it.

A 4 Gig memory chip will hold about 5 minutes worth of video or Heaven knows how many pictures.

The panorama feature is fun. You take a picture and it highlights the right hand edge. line it up with the next picture you want to take in the series and click away. I've done 180 degrees but might try 360 just for fun.

If I had to come up with a defect it would be the rounded edges of the camera. It is designed to stand on the right end, but it is less than stable. I keep it in the case because the only way to put it down would be on it's back, screen side down, begging for a scratch - or worse

My other Canon was stolen on the last trip so I went looking for the replacement. Cannot say enough positive things about this little guy. Zoom, close up, fast reaction time (for what it is), nice size screen but the view finder? does anyone ever use those anymore on this type of camera? The battery charger - when will they learn to make them so the unit doesn't cover three holes on the power strip?

Picture quality is great... we bought it because of the video capability as well... we're very pleased.

Average rating of 3/5Average rating of 3/5Average rating of 3/5Average rating of 3/5Average rating of 3/5 Not a good camera for everyday use!
I purchased this camera and I returned it after couple of days because I thought the design was really bad, The ON/OFF button is weird and the camera was heavy. I did not take pictures that I thought were extraordinary; the picture quality was very normal.
I wanted a camera that is small so I can carry it everywhere and also easy to use, which is not the case of the SD890IS.
The zoom feature is good and that is the only good thing about the camera.
I would advise anybody who is considering this camera to check it out in the store first, hold it with your hands and make sure you are comfortable with it before you can decide.
