Canon SD990 is one of the top of the line camera

Strengths: Excellent image quality,Very sharp pics. According to tests, less noise that the Canon 8 Megapixel models. New Processor. Has manual controls.

Weakness: Video is only 640x480.

Well I purchased it after reviewing and compare it with SD950 which I gave it to my son, and I am pleased I did! The camera (I selected the silver model) is very sharp-looking and takes excellent pictures and video. It focuses sharp and red-eye is almost non-existent. I used the photos with Photoshop and it came well also. The previous one SD950 is also very good,I am using Powershot G2 and SLR...

Great pictures, bad movies

Strengths: Pictures are clear, image stabilization works well. Happy with colors.

Weakness: Movies, Movies, Movies

We purchased this camera to upgrade from a Canon A5XX that the kids have started to use. We were very happy with the quality of the pictures, but EXTREMELY disappointed with the high-quality movie snippets that the camera takes. Unfortunately, Canon decided to switch to Quicktime for the format which does not seem to play well on PCs(even high end ones), though they do play fine on Macs. The...

You Get What You Pay For

Strengths: This camera out of the box has worked and have not had any problems. I take each day of the week between 175 to 225 photos of a job site under construction, photos are of buildings and details.

Weakness: Not that I have found

This has been a good choice and workes in sun, shade, interiors. Details pop out and it is so easy to move from one mode to another. Took on vacation with us and never used my SLR this camers has impressed all my frends and at work the results from it are stunning.

Canon PowerShot SD990 IS (silver)

THE GOOD: Excellent picture quality; very good shooting options for its size. THE BAD: Disappointing lens specs; mixed performance; high-resolution sensor adds little benefit; no HD video. THE BOTTOM LINE: The Canon PowerShot SD990 IS is a fine ultracompact camera, but its price-to-feature benefits are questionable.

Camera Labs – Canon PowerShot SD990 IS ELPH review

Canon’s PowerShot SD990 IS ELPH is a good solid compact camera with some strong features. With a considerable 14.7 Megapixels, it’s the highest resolution model in the ELPH range, and also the only one which offers manual control over exposure. Add to that a small but great quality screen, an optical viewfinder which can massively extend battery life, and Canon’s latest fast DIGIC 4...

Canon PowerShot SD990 IS Review

The 900-series of the Canon ELPH digital cameras is usually pretty deluxe, and the Canon SD990 doesn't disappoint. In addition to the Canon SD990's 14.7-megapixel sensor, 2.5-inch LCD, and 3.7x lens, this curvy little digital camera has a full Manual exposure mode that should pique the interest of photographers wanting a little more control. Image stabilization is of course standard on the Canon...
