Take Blur Out of the Picture.

The PowerShot SD890 IS Digital ELPH has the longest optical zoom ever incorporated in an Digital ELPH camera: a full 5x. A zoom this powerful opens up a world of possibilities in your photography, and thanks to innovative Canon engineering, it's housed in a camera that's sized to go everywhere with you. With many cameras, hand-held shots taken at the long end of the zoom can be marred by blur. The PowerShot SD890 IS Digital ELPH incorporates Canon's exclusive Optical Image Stabilizer. The technology detects and effectively cancels camera shake, for clear, sharp images every time.

I previously purchased a Sony Cybershot when they first came onto the scene. It cost me well over $800 for a 3.3 megapixel camera and that was top of the line at the time. The Sony served me well for many years but as I was shopping at a Sam's club, I had a chance to look at the Canon SD890 and decided it was time for an upgrade. I spent several days searching the E-Bay camera's for the price I wanted to pay and finally the right price came up and the purchase was made, saving me over more than a $100 on similar E-Bay cameras and more the $200 on the Sam's Club price. This Camera has more than exceeded my expectations and to be honest it is a little intimidating with all the options that it has but as you use the camera and consult the manual things get a lot better. My camera came brand new and was not a refurbished model and so it had a 32 bit card which is almost useless if you are taking more than 6 pictures at a time, so I also purchased an 8 gbyt card which is no problem for the camera to handle and can now take about 1200 pictures at the best setting or over 6000 pictures at the normal setting. The camera is easy to use, small enough to fit in a shirt pocket and the pictures so far are outstanding to say the least and that is in automatic mode. I can't wait to experiment with some of the other modes such as stitching (wide angle panoramic) color switch (changing the color of a car for instance to a different shade, can't wait to show my rich brother a brand new stable of different colored mustangs that I now own). This camera is well worth the money I payed and is much much more than the Sony for less than a third of the price that I paid for it. Just goes to show how much tech has advanced and I hope this camera wont be old before I use all the options.
My only complaint is the fact that the manual is small(shirtpocket size) and so it's a little difficult to read, other than that no complaints and I'm very happy with the purchase and also the seller and his pricing.

I bought this camera because I have had a canon in the past and I loved it. It took amazing quality pictures and had a lot of options that I liked. I also liked that it has the rechargable battery with it. However, on the 4th of July this year I dropped it and broke it. When I found this camera (Canon PowerShot SD890 IS Digital ELPH 10.0 Megapixel) on Ebay I was excited because it said it was brand new and it was a newer, better model of the camera I already had. Free shipping was a plus as well. I did a lot of research on the canon.com website to see which cameras I liked and which I didn't. Between the 10 megapixels and the 5x zoom, not many of the others compared. This camera takes very clear pictures and the color in them is perfect. I've taken some pictures that looked even better on the camera than they did when they really happened. I have a 2 year old son so I have lots of pictures to take and the battery still hasn't even gotten low in the 3 weeks I've been using it. All in all, I would definitely reccommend this camera to other people!

The Canon Powershot SD890 is a great little camera. When it comes to crisp, beautiful resolution in photos, Canon is the best. I use the large SLR cameras for business, but I wanted something small to carry in my handbag when not working. I am still learning where all the buttons are and the only thing I would change would be the size. It's almost too small.
I have small hands and I still wish it was a bit bigger to make for easier handling. Overall, its a nice camera that produces great photos. It's a Canon, what else is there? Get one and see for yourself....

Great Camera! love the optical zoom! only wish it was slimmer in size, had more features, and the lcd was bigger like the other models. other than that, easy to use. canon fan forever!
