Great little camera
I purched This Canon SD990IS camera so I dont have to take my Canon 20d on all my trips. This little camera works great. The 3200 setting for indoors or out side at night is great, also the macro is great.It is small and easy to travel with.

I guess I was expecting a little more…
I upgraded from SD-450 to this camera. I guess my expectations were high. So, far my photos are good but not better than the 450 as far as the clarity. My biggest issue with this camera is that my photos are soft (not sharp) indoors. In good lighting, they are amazing. Also, I wish the LCD viewer was a larger.
With that said, I love the face recognition with the zoom feature and “quick shot” feature that makes this camera work similar to an SLR. The video is very clear. I have only used the camera about 8 times so I will update this review upon further examination.

Awesome camera
I got this camera as a carry-around-on-an-everyday-basis camera – got a little tired of dragging my Canon 20D around.

This camera is very nicely built, feels very solid and sturdy. The button layout is very easy to use and very fast to maneuver. The learning curve is also quite short, as most things on the camera just makes sense.

The technical quality of the camera, leaves little to be desired. It takes amazing photos, of course with all the limitations such a small camera has. The zoom is nice and fast and focusing is most times spot on. Only thing I wish was better, was low light capability, but then again, no camera with a sensor and lens this small will do much better.

I can highly recommend this camera as an everyday use camera, due to it’s light weight, small size and outstanding quality.

A general precaution to every photographer: always bring extra memory cards and batteries – you will end up snapping away..
