Great Camera December 2, 2008
Mohammed A. Ali (NJ, USA)
Takes the best pictures I've ever seen on a digital camera. Pictures are sharp and bright. An amazing product. Few drawbacks however as nothing is perfect although this one comes pretty close. Power plug is NOT included with the product; have to purchase that separately. Also, the power button is fairly weak and feels like it could fail any minute.

Awesome camera! I haven't played around with everything yet, but it is an awesome camera. A little pricey. I would wait until the price comes down first.

This camera was a gift for my brother and yes a great choice.I own the canon 870is and it is too a great camera.My brother is in a band and he wanted to take pictures and blow them up so me owning a canon and knowing what great cameras they are I thought the 14.7 mega pixels would be just what he would need.I would recomend this camera to any one who loves to take great pictures.Read the owners manual and learn how to really use it,you will be supprised how good a picture could turn out when the camera is on the right settings.
From A70 to SD990 IS November 17, 2008

I purchased a Canon Powershot SD990 IS camera after my five-year old Powershot A70 died due to a sensor failure. (Even though the camera is long out of warranty, if I return it to Canon, they will replace the sensor.)
Shutter Lag was a major problem with A70. The SD990 IS appears to have none.
Low-light photographs with the A70 were always blurred because of camera motion. The image stabilization and the ISO 3200 setting of the SD990 IS produce low-light images with no blur.
The sensor of the SD990 IS is a 1/1.7" CCD (7.60 x 5.70 mm, 0.43 sq cm); the A70 sensor is 1/2.7" (5.27 x 3.96 mm, 0.21 sq cm)
The LCD of the SD990 IS is larger and much brighter.
Videos from the SD990 IS look good. If I wanted HD video, I would buy a video camera.
The A70 used four AA batteries; the SD990 IS uses one small NB-5L battery pack.
The SD990 IS is smaller and lighter -- 182 gm vs. 320 gm.
The SD990 IS has not experienced the e18 error or the "lens error, restart camera". Neither did the A70 in spite of being dropped on a concrete floor from a height of three feet.
Bottom Line - I am happy with the SD990 IS and think it is worth the price.

maybe i dont know how to use it. but i had sony cybershot works way better. i like canon cause it take faster pictures. and better pictures at darker place. it auto adjust the color better than sony. but my sony was a touch screen. when i use manuel i can actsually point to where i want to focus on the screen with macro or not and it will focus exactlly where i wanted to focus on. so i decied.. i'll just buy a cheaper canon for now till my husband bring my old camera back from iraq. hope this review helps...
