Incredible Camera for real life'ers and photographers alike
»
I purchased this camera just before my vacation to San Diego and Hawaii. I have not taken any photography courses in over 10 years and do not consider myself a true photographer. I do have an eye for capturing moments. However, when purchasing a camera I was determined to find one with a wide angle lens. The Canon digital elph SD990IS is the first camera I have purchased in 5 years...and I am glad I did not waste any money on anything else between that time. For those of us who want quick shooting, have an artistic eye of what we want to capture, and want to do so with minimul fuss in a point & shoot camera, you will be hard pressed to find something with the equivalent performance in a compact package. I am heavily impressed with this camera and it turned out to be the perfect camera for my vacation documentary. The sheer technological brilliance that Canon has packed into this camera has forced me to write my first and possibly only review of such a product. Albeit, it does not do HD video recording but for those small moments you may want to capture, it will suffice and capture them in different settings (Sepia anyone?). I cannot stress how many pictures I have taken that came out crisp in a moving vehicle, or low light settings I may not have had enough stabilization. The camera was smart enough to recognize even without small setting changes (e.g., face detection vs center). Very little noise is produced even in digital zoom mode. I took well over 1000 shots in gist. There are possibly a handful that did not come out correctly. I will try set a public album for review in which this camera was the sole device used to capture my best vacation ever. The other reviews can provide technical aspects but I'd like to mention just a few things here from a more simple perspective. If you like capturing:
- Mountains, beaches, blue skies and water in wide angle views that may take your breath away a second time around...
- The precious face of a 3-year old with mountains and landscape in the background
- The magnificence of nature itself or the world from an airplane window
- A night on the town with your closest people...
This camera is absolutely for you...links coming soon.

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.
