I love my SD850IS. I thought to buy a better one that has more optical zoom. but find that it is still the best in all areas besides optical zoom low number. -

I have been a loyal Canon fan for a long time. I am going to try another company now ( probably a Sony) . With the edges being so rounded on this camera it looks great but it can be hard to grasp in your hands.
I have never dropped a camera before and this one when down when I was just position it with both hands, The plastic body is of cheap material. The repeating of shots seems to take too long. The on off button is a joke the way it designed. -

I bought it to replaced my SD700 (Canon wanted $170 for repair?) I read SD890 replaced 700, so I placed an order. What a disappointment.
First, the operation is very difficult. I was so used to operate SD700 with one hand, I imagined the same with SD890 ? wrong! Almost every operation requires support hand, otherwise you really can?t navigate options or setting. Also its body is made of some poor plastic, and finish is very slippery. My wife also tried, but she had tough time holding as well. We also noticed the body heats up really quick, in 5 minutes you have a toasty hand warmer. anyways designers at Canon must be on summer vacation when this one came out, its just horrible camera to work with. Photo quality is awesome, typical canon quality, but I just have to say it is not user friendly at all.
Newegg doesn?t have return policy, so we are keeping it for now, but I?m sure it will be on ebay soon. -

This is a great camera to use out of the box, with lots of advanced features to explore later on. -

I bought this camera at Best Buy and then returned it after just a few days (with a penalty of 15% restocking fee). The picture quality was not up to par with the Canon SD 550 I was replacing.
I subsequently purchased the SD 790 IS from Costco and I'm happy with it. -
