Too good camera

Review Date: February 19, 2010

Reviewer: Amit Arora, Delhi, India

Like the camera. I am using it for last 1 year. And have taken thousand of pics using this camera. It has all the modes which you may require. Zoom is good in small sized camera. It is small in size and can be easily fit in pocket.

1 Weeks 6 pictures and its not Working

Reviewer: Leonard W. Byrd,

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. 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. The only suggestion I can give is don't buy any Canon product as they don't stand behind their cameras

Awesome camera!

I bought this camera a year ago for my daughter for Christmas. She absolutely loves it. The picture quality is fantastic. Her pictures are all taken on auto mode. The zoom is phenominal. She was sitting at Yankee Stadium on the 3rd base line, outfield, I was sitting on the first base line, outfield. She managed to find me and snapped a shot. It was clear and sharp. I like her camera so much, I bought one this year for myself. Canon has discontinued this model, so I grabbed it when I found it. Their upgrade to this model does not have a viewfinder (like so many other camers). Without a viewfinder, I can't see the screen in bright sunlight or at the beach, etc. I have snapped many a picture guessing.

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.

Pros: Shutter speed, image quality, amazing zoom, fast power on,+++

Cons: None

I love the camera but ended up not purchasing from Amazon and the group that backed out of selling to me. Very disappointed

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. 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 will never use this source again when Amazon recommended. I ordered it from another on-line company, it was not back ordered and ended up being less money and deliver excellent. I hope you have creditied my account with the amount charged to my credit card. I had purchased this camera back in April of last year but dropped the camera and it then didn't work any longer. I plan to send it back to Canon for perhaps a repair. But I liked the camera so much I had tried to order another one just like but it all failed. Think you should check on the source you recommended for my second purchase of this camera.

Lens Error after 1 month.

Reviewer: Ai Le,

I researched all the Canon camera models and most of them have 3x zoom or above. So I wanted to try something different and bought SD 890 with 5X zoom to see if there are a difference. I trusted the consumer reviews posted for this camera and have great expectation for it, but the camera died on me after my trip to Australia and Los Angeles.

The lens won't retract and it keeps making screechy weird noises when I turn it on. My SD 890 basically died on me and I can't use it any more because the lens no longer retract or work.

Another thing to keep in mind is the curveness of the camera on the right hand side. It is hard to hold and you could easily drop it.
