The camera might be fine, but the included 32 megabyte memory card is an absolute insult to all of their customers. 8 gigabyte memory cards are currently selling for $10 on Amazon, why is Canon insulting their customers with a 32 megabyte memory card? Canon should have included at least a 1 gigabyte memory card.

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…

Few minutes ago- just got my new Canon Powershot SD 990 IS and as you are taking Camera out of the shipping box- you can hear slight rattle inside camera- loose lens, loose protective cover or loose shutter rattle ???
If you shake the camera gently, you can hear a rattle sound inside.
Very disappointing with Canon- as my recent Canon Video GL2 ZOOM stop working (cable inside broke- cut off -presumably by tape door cover and Canon Image Stabilizer Lense EF-S 17-85 for EOS20 stop working also – with Error 99.

For anyone who has been into digital photography we KNOW there are no perfect cameras for every occasion. Honing in on a product requires research which involves comparisons – many comparisons. I should mention that my ditital photography skills are lmited to my “ancient” SONY DSC S-75 – which has become quite the “journeyman” device.
I decided to jump into the point-and-shoot market for a few reasons, one being the compactness of the ELPH the other involving my planned use for it while traveling an extensive rail itinerary in October. Most shots to be taken from moving trains, through the windows.
Unless I’ve totally missed something, there is NOTHING in the Canon user’s guide covering this aspect of photography nor anything within the archives of meaningless tripe on their web site to address this. I say “meaningless tripe” only in connection with my planned use. I’m sure there’s lots of “stuf” there for other uses . . . Many hours LOST . . .
The other day I spent 12 hours using the camera aboard a train – practice if you will for my extended trip. I used all modes to determine which, if any would at least replicate the success I’ve had with my SONY DSC-S75. With over 400 exposures taken – not a single one could match or even come close to those taken in the past with my SONY. Guess what? The SONY will make the trip, the CANON stays home – or – if I can, returned to amazon.com.
The good thing is that in the auto mode, the images are fine in the conventional environment. I’d say a fine camera for LIMITED use, but hardly something to count on for what I’ve described. Also, during those 12 hours I did NOT have to change the battery – I carried a spare. Further, the memory card still had space for more images. Very impressed. But having said all of that, the ELPH is a major disappointment.
[...]
So, for my planned use – I rate this camera as a ZERO – but one star seems to be the minimum.
I’m very disappointed as this has been a most expensive experiment that in my case didn’t pan out.
