 Older model has viewfinder and 5x zoom Jul 26, 2010
Its hard to find a good point-n-shoot these days that still has a viewfinder. I couldn't find a current Canon model that I liked for under $300, so I bought this refurnished older model. It a bit heavier, but I love the 5x zoom and all the manual options.
I prefer Canon cameras because of the quick response time and the high quality lens.

 Do not buy this camera Jul 16, 2010
In April 2008, I purchased an SD890IS from Amazon for my wife because she prefers a camera with a viewfinder for bright shooting situations when it's difficult to view the LCD screen image. She quickly learned to use the camera's features and the photo quality was excellent. In September 2009, the lens locked in extended position and there was a grinding noise when trying to retract it. A local camera shop recommended that due to the cost of repair, it would be wiser to replace the camera. We didn't contact Amazon because we'd owned the camera 1 1/2 years.
We thought the breakdown was a fluke. Since my wife liked the camera, we decided to order another SD80IS in October 2009. In January 2010, the camera started making the same grinding noise as the preceding one and the lens malfunctioned. At that time we were in Arizona and did not return home until April 2010. Upon returning home, we returned both cameras to Amazon with a detailed explanation. They simply returned both cameras to us. Obviously customer satisfaction is not a priority to them.
Coincidentally, while we were in Arizona, a friend went to China with her new Canon PowerShot, a different model than my wife's. On her first day there, her camera started making grinding noises and the lens stuck in the open position.
We now own approximately $600 worth of broken cameras which are going into the garbage. There's nothing like throwing away money!
If you are thinking about buying this or any PowerShot, I suggest you read all the one and two star reviews and check out reviews and comments about this product on other web sites.
If this review stops one person from buying this camera, it has done its job.
Defective camera Jul 04, 2010
This review is not about the Canon camera, rather it concerns one of Amazon's suppliers.
I purchased this camera from one of Amazon's suppliers, an individual selling a used product. The only deficiency noted about the camera by the seller was "missing the lens cover". Upon reciept of the camera I found the camera to be dirty and scratched, giving the appearance of much misuse. Additionally, there was no battery or battery charger supplied with the camera. After obtaining a battery on my own, I took some pictures, only to find that the pictures were out of focus.
Repeated attempts were made through Amazon to get the supplier to allow return of the camera and my money refunded, only to be denied.
This experience has left me dissappointed with Amazon although their supplier had gotten good ratings in the past.
I am attempting other means to rectify this situation. At this time I'm still a disallusioned Amazon customer.
 Cannon cameras lense stuck May 16, 2010
I had this camera for neary 2 years and it lense got stuck. As it is out of warrnaty, it will cost me about $150 to fix it.
A collegue of mine also had similar problem with his cannon.
Great, until it breaks! Mar 22, 2010
I had this handy little thing for a mere 7 months before it broke. By "broke," I mean had an inexplicable lens-error that would have cost me about $200 to fix. Given that the camera itself cost only $100 more, the clearly better option was to buy another camera (and not another PowerShot).
I've handled this camera with care and always carried it in a protective case, so the lens error was definitely an inherent design/mechanical problem. A good friend of mine also had a PowerShot (not sure of the model) and the same thing happened. If you only need a camera for a few months, get a PowerShot. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
