  • Surprisingly good

    While 10 megapixels isn't high by today's standards I have made very large prints from this camera that look better than cameras with twice this rated resolution. My first one was lost (stolen?) and after testing several others I purchased a used 890 to replace it. Only downside is no HD video, but I got this for stills. The lens quality is superb and the color sense is less blown out than Canons usually are.

  • A Lil Gem - 2 THUMBS UP

    This is be my third Canon PowerShot Digital ELPH SD890 IS Camera. I love it's quality, size, versatility and reliability. The first I gave to my husband after he swam across a river while camping. Believe it or not the camera worked perfectly, after completely drying. So I purchased the 2nd for myself and enjoyed it for many years, until it recently (within the last 8 months) began to malfunction and provide less than desirable photos. I decided to stick with this camera and purchase another since it's so light, easy to use( point & shoot), has a decent zoom and quick shutter speed to capture action shots. I am thrilled to have this fully functioning gem in my hands. By the way - all of the cameras were purchased on ebay. The first one was new, but the last two were in good, used condition.

  • Elph SD890 IS 10.0 Digital Camera - wonderful camera

    The viewfinder is a wonderful feature. You can see clearly what you are looking at even when the screen is distorted by light coming from behind you.

  • Nice gift

    I bought this as a birthday present for my niece, who was turning 15. She wanted to get into photography but she wanted a real camera.not knowing how long she'd actually be interested in it I tried to find a good camera with a lot of options for a good price This one was excellent she loves it she's having a good time with it.

  • Canon Elph SD890

    The great thing about this camera is that it still has an optical viewfinder which is wonderful in bright sunshine when digital screens are washed out. Thanks Eldon

  • great replacement

    This camera replaced an earlier model Canon camera that does not take the HC SD cards. It had an awesome macro which I need to use. This updated version, although not the newest one is as wonderful as the first one. Has not been abused and I was able to find a silicone skin for it on eBay. Very happy.

  • Excellent reconditioned camera.

    I have a Nokia smart phone with a 10 mp lens. This camera out performs my smart phone by leaps and bounds. The camera is small enough that it fits in my shirt pocket. I bought this reconditioned camera because I dropped and damaged the SD 890 camera that I bought years ago. I could have bought a new camera but it's nearly impossible to find a new point and shoot camera that has a view finder.

  • Love the powershot 970

    Unfortunately I got another, older version of the camera which I returned. I'm sure it was an honest mistake. I buy the same model repeatedly for my business so I don't have to figure out which re-charger works for which camera. Great pocket camera.
