Canon Powershot SD990IS 14.7MP Digital Camera Review
September 15th, 2009
Amazing camera! 9/10th of a G10 for much less $$ : First of all, this camera is built beautifully. It is a highwater mark among the current Canon lineup (along with the G10 obviously). The metal body feels very solid and luxurious in your hand. I have only taken about 40 pictures with it thus far, in all different settings, and they all turn out great. The manual mode is what made me choose the SD990 over the aging SD950. It is nice to have this much control of a compact camera.
I was initially worried about the noise a 14.7 megapixel sensor this size would produce, but thanks to the new DIGIC 4 processor, it is always under control. I wouldn’t use anything above ISO 600.
I am the type of consumer that pays more for better quality, and then holds onto things for a long time. This is one of those high-quality items. After your friends go through 2 or 3 plastic Kodak digicams, this will still be going strong. I wish I could afford a G10, but alas, I cannot. This is truly the next best thing. Way to go, Canon!
