I bought my Canon SD980IS on 15 January 2010, recieved it on the 23 January 2010 and within 1 week and 6 photos later its no longer functioning with an "Memory Card Error" message. Since I'm currently out of the country on a work assignment, they won't allow me to have an authorized canon service center in London repair it even though its an apparent known design defect. The only suggestion I can give is don't buy any Canon product as they don't stand behind their cameras
Her pictures are all taken on auto mode. Canon has discontinued this model, so I grabbed it when I found it. The picture quality is fantastic. I bought this camera a year ago for my daughter for Christmas. The sd890is lightweight and easy to carry, battery life is fantastic.I have always had Olympus cameras, so I had to get used to the menu and controls, I am still learning, but I love this camera. I like her camera so much, I bought one this year for myself.
It was clear and sharp.
The zoom is phenominal.
Without a viewfinder, I can't see the screen in bright sunlight or at the beach, etc.
She absolutely loves it.
Their upgrade to this model does not have a viewfinder (like so many other camers).
She was sitting at Yankee Stadium on the 3rd base line, outfield, I was sitting on the first base line, outfield.
She managed to find me and snapped a shot.
I have snapped many a picture guessing.
Pros: Shutter speed, image quality, amazing zoom, fast power on,+++Cons: None
But I liked the camera so much I had tried to order another one just like but it all failed. I had purchased this camera back in April of last year but dropped the camera and it then didn't work any longer.
Then the price went up and I was not impressed with the company because of their scam of increasing the price and the camera not being available for purchase. After ordering the camera and availability was there when ordered,and expecting delivery from the source you recommended, the source then said it was back orderedl.
I hope you have creditied my account with the amount charged to my credit card. I will never use this source again when Amazon recommended.
I ordered it from another on-line company, it was not back ordered and ended up being less money and deliver excellent. I plan to send it back to Canon for perhaps a repair.
Think you should check on the source you recommended for my second purchase of this camera.
I trusted the consumer reviews posted for this camera and have great expectation for it, but the camera died on me after my trip to Australia and Los Angeles.The lens won't retract and it keeps making screechy weird noises when I turn it on. I researched all the Canon camera models and most of them have 3x zoom or above. So I wanted to try something different and bought SD 890 with 5X zoom to see if there are a difference. My SD 890 basically died on me and I can't use it any more because the lens no longer retract or work.Another thing to keep in mind is the curveness of the camera on the right hand side. It is hard to hold and you could easily drop it.
I really like this camera. It is small enough to stick in your pocket, but the pictures have turned out great. I even accidentally left it outside in the rain one night, but the camera worked fine the next day. I would definitely recommend this camera.
