Canon Powershot SD890IS Reviews
We were going to Italy and France for two weeks and I didn't want to lug around all the XT lenses. We were determined to both carry laptops but NOT check luggage and so really needed to minimize the camera equipment. We would be on planes, trains, buses and partly on foot (we stayed three nights in Careno, Italy, a pedestrian only village in Lake Como).
I searched through the various Elphs and picked the Canon Powershot SD890IS for the 5x zoom and image stabilization features. We carried along the camera's USB cord to download photos to the laptop, an extra battery and the battery charger and that was it. Oh, a little plug adapter for European wall plugs (the battery charger works in Europe so you don't need a converter, just the wall adapter). The Canon Powershot SD890IS setup is much like earlier Elphs so the learning curve was easy. I didn't discover until quite late that there was a wide-angle option on the camera and wished I had realized that earlier.
We took almost 1,000 photos with the Canon Powershot SD890ISi on the trip. The quality of the photos is great, and the ability to slip the camera into a pocket such a plus. We'll be carrying this little baby along on other trips and I'll save the big one for stationary visits.
