"Great photos, easy to use, fast, small, looks cool"
Pros: Great photos. A blow up of NYC at night from 30 miles away captured surprising detail. Photos with the Foliage preset (there are many others) produced colors and detail were beyond belief. All this in a tiny camera.
Cons: More expensive than other cameras out there. Battery life could be longer, but I still got more than 100 pictures on a charge, not really something to complain about.
Summary: If I needed another camera in this price rang... read more

"The truly powerful ultra-compact available"
Pros: Superb build quality, excellent resolution, very good image quality, manual controls (at last!), Digic 4 processor works really good, Quick Shot mode is useful to get the action.
Cons: Noise at high ISO settings (although better than previous Canon ultra-compacts), slightly bulky (but still fits in a shirt pocket), manual mode is limited, price may be a little high for some, 36mm wide angle (I prefer 28mm)
Summary: This is one great camera, probably the best u... read more

"Love the high ISO capability"
Pros: It takes great photos. However, the thing that I like the most is that I can set it to ISO 3200 for taking pictures in a gym. I was never able to get a bright picture before and this camera produces the the photos that I want. I love my red Canon.
Cons: The shutter button is a little slow and my battery didn't last as long as I had hoped it would.
Summary: I ordered the red camera online and I love th... read more

"Solid feel, beautiful black camera, nice pictures"
Pros: So far, so good. This is an upgrade from my SD850is which I loved, but I do like the manual control the SD990 offers (albeit somewhat limited).
Cons: I suppose I could do with less MP and a slightly larger sensor would have been a good idea, but I am very happy with it.
Summary: Curious to see/hear the reviews from more pro... read more
