Great little camera
2008-11-19My 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?

Excellent camera
2008-11-17Picture quality is great... we bought it because of the video capability as well... we're very pleased.

Not a good camera for everyday use!
2008-11-12I 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.

Excellent Canon Product
2008-10-30I bought this camera after reading so many reviews on various available Canon Powershots and also specifically on 890IS. I decided to get this one as opposed to others because of it's extra zoom (5X). And I think it's worth it; power of canon powershot with extra zoom; works like charm. I recently returned from my trip to Hawaii and I can't even complain about the picture quality. We did the helicopter tour of Kauai and some of the pictures I took with 5X zoom are amazing & looks like we are like feet away from the spot! I recommend this camera if you really need 5X zoom and other canon features. If you can do with out zoom then you can look for other options!

Canon digital camera - SD890IS
2008-10-24I'm so far delighted with the camera, a beautiful little gem. Easy to operate, and the 20x zoom works a treat.

Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents.
In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
A Quick Look At the Professional Digital Camcorder
Introduction
Professional digital camcorders are better than your analog camcorder, or even your digital video camera. The advancements that have been made in the camcorder industry are amazing. Just like everything else they keep getting more and more advanced, and shrinking in size. Even though we have seen much advancement, the price keeps getting more and more affordable. Professionals are not the only ones who can now enjoy the wonderful benefits of a professional
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A professional digital camcorder allows creativity and quality to meet, and the cost is far lower than it was only a few years ago. Even in the late 1990's most professionals were using Betamax professional quality analog recorders, though the professional digital camcorder was starting to come into its own back then.
