I have s digital SLR Canon 30D. My wife has this PowerShot SD900. Sometimes is even hard to see the difference at naked eye. Greate resolution, great features, right weight to keep balance in the snapshot and perfect size. In digital cameras, with Canon you can not go wrong. (Get away of Sony)

Great pictures, great features. However, I had the same experience as a previous reviewer related to exposure to weather. This camera got damp (emphasize damp only) upon which it ceased to operate. After apparently drying out, all functions returned - except the LCD screen (which Canon reports is not ecomonically feasible to repair). This situation was unexpected as my SD800 (with wide-angle lens and a different type of casing) that I use as part of my work (outdoors) is pretty regularly awash in rain - and I haven't had any such problems over the past year. Thus, as previously stated, be warned in regard to the SD900.

This is my third Canon camera. I have a antique Optura PI video DV camera that serves well to this day for video, of course. I purchased a Canon Powershot S400 that I am very happy with, unfortuneately it now throws a memory card error. I could have it serviced but I figured it was time to upgrade it.
The new Canon SD 900 is so much faster, less time on start up and auto focus. The larger screen is nice too but getting a grip on this camera is a bit odd as suggested by other reviewers. Physically the same size and weight of the old one, just more refined controls.

This is my second Canon digital camera purchase--my first is a Canon SLR digital rebel. I love the digital SLR but it is too bulky for me to tote around for everyday photos. I decided to purchase the Canon SD900 after my Nikon Coolpix died after 5 years of daily use. I've been using the SD900 for 2 weeks now and love it. The SD900 sold me on its tiny size, huge display, 10 MP photos, different ISO settings and the various movie modes. It fits perfectly into my smallest purse and into pockets. It is a little heavier than the Nikon Coolpix I had, but that is due to the solid construction. I have small hands and the camera is easy for me to hold--no straining or slippage. Another sell point for me was the rechargeable battery--I charge it once a week and I am set for an hour or so a day of photo taking. On sightseeing trips I prefer to charge it every other day.
The only thing that annoys me about the camera is the slowness of clicking through the Manual menu settings to set up the white balance, exposure, ect. Something about the way the menus are set up seems less intuitive than on the Nikon Coolpix or the Digital Rebel SLR. It's not unexpected on such a tiny camera but for the price point I expected just a little more.
The SCN settings are very handy and easy to chose from, and the automatic setting works well when in a hurry to capture a shot. I love the face detect feature--it makes framing the subjects a piece of cake.
The movie modes are a fun option. I find them useful to take little clips of the kids to send to the grandparents. The audio is pretty good.
If you are looking for a pocket/purse camera packed with features for daily use, this is it.

I have gone through 3 cameras in the past few months, and consider myself pretty well informed as of now.
First of all, I purchased the Casio Exilim 10mp camera on Amazon, but found it lacking features and a little cheap feeling. Then I decided to go back to Canon (I had an SD450 before) and buy the SD900. I like the Titanium body and easy to use control dial on the back. I was familiar with Canon from my previous camera.
I ordered the sd900 and it arrived. I took it out to San Francisco for day trip and after taking only 15 photos or so, the lens made a noise and didn't retract. The camera gave a cryptic error message and promptly shut off with the lens still sticking out. My sister remarked that the camera was "constantly happy to see her" All in all, a troubling and embarrassing experience. I sent the camera back in to Amazon and they accepted the return.
But, I returned to Amazon and bought the camera again.
Recently, while at a party, I was unfortunate enough to lose track of the camera and it vanished forever! :(
But, Guess what? I'm most likely going to buy yet another SD900. It's just that good.
So if you are looking for a good snap shot digital camera, I highly recommend this one and wish you better luck than I've had with it.

I bought this camera and took it on vacation to Patagonia (Argentina). On the second day of the trip the camera got exposed to some (not a lot) of rain. It never worked again. I sent it back to the factory and they told me that it was irreparable and not covered by warranty. I have had numerous other Canon cameras in the past (digital, point and shoot, SLR) and never had any problems. I would not recommend this camera to anyone because it is very fragile. Beware!

I upgraded to this camera from the Canon SD550 hoping to get some reduction in the amount of red-eye I get in my pictures--no such luck. I have tried everything in the manual remotely related to red-eye to reduce the problem with no luck.
I was surprised to have this issue since most people rave about this camera. It does take great scenic shots, has great resolution and takes great videos, but 90% of the people in my photos have red-eye that I have to try and remove with software.
Maybe I've just had bad luck with my two Canons but I plan on selling mine and purchasing another brand.

i own a canon 20d digital, prosumer camera but needed an unobtrusive pocket camera for those situations requiring more stealth and mobility. that being said, the powershot sd900 fits in the average shirt pocket (though its weight - approx. 10 oz., makes the pockets in my silk shirts sag a bit - a minor fashion faux pas) and is reasonably quick to start up - about 3 seconds from pressing the "on" button to shutter release. the titanium casing is a plus as it maintains its "out of the box" look despite fingerprints, minor bumps and dust. the screen is large enough to be able to evaluate pics on the fly and the buttons, though small for my rather large fingers, do the job well. the 10 mp gives most people plenty of detail even for 16 x 24 enlargements. it comes with cords and software to connect to your computer (though direct camera to pc uploading is not the easiest thing to accomplish if you have an older computer. n.b. "older" = more than 3 years-old.) it would be wise to get a 1 - 2 gig memory fast-write card which will facilitate the camera's write -to - disk speed.
now the problems - the flash is rather weak and you have to be close to your subject for the flash to be of any use. also because the flash is so close to the lense, it's hard to diffuse the flash lighting with a handkerchief or even a tissue - so you get those "white out" areas in your pic if you are not careful in the placement of your subject.
also if you like to take a lot of museum shots, when you disable the flash, it is very, i repeat, very difficult to produce sharp pics even in bright museum lighting. you need a gorilla pod (tm), a surgeon's steadiness, or some other stabilizing accessory.
the 3x optical zoom is all but useless and will help frame only subjects that are relatively close to you - no more than 12 feet or so.
the upshot for the powershot? understand that when you purchase a point-and-shoot camera, your main purpose arguably, is to buy something that will capture, with reasonable accuracy, that bressonian "decisive moment" that would otherwise be lost if you had to fiddle with dials, knobs, focusing rings, light meters, histograms, etc. in this, the digital elph performs admirably.

I have had this camera about a week. It's replacing a Canon G6 that I loved, but is just too big. This camera is so small - I love it! About the size of a deck of cards. And the menus are so user friendly. It makes all the settings easy to use. I agree w/ the other reviews that I do wish it had stability b/c some pictures are coming out blurry. The shake warning shows for almost every picture I take. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. But otherwise, I am extremely with this camera and would definitely recommend it.

Only used a few times. Too bad this camera doesn't have a image stabilizer. OTher than that, if you use the auto setting, it'll take good pictures, but if you turn of the flash, the picture will get somewhat blurry since they ISO setting will get low. but other than that, im happy.

I've had this camera for a couple of weeks now, it's my 4th digital camera. I am very happy with the photos I'm able to take, they are truly outstanding. I'm still learning all of the settings but I'm finding everything to be user-friendly. I like the way it feels in my hand and I'm pleased with the battery life. I purchased a 2GB card to replace the one that came with the camera and it's been the perfect size for me. The video is amazing, I was standing in the upstairs bathroom of our 2 story house and saw our little one jumping on the trampoline at the far end of our backyard, so I decided to tape it. Not only was the quality good, the camera picked up the audio, which I never expected! And I like that you can zoom in or out while you're taping, I wasn't able to do that with my last camera.
I've had no problems downloading the pics or videos to my computer and the prints I've gotten have been great as well.

My primary use for this camera was to take pictures indoors with very bright lighting, without the use of a flash. The camera couldn't handle taking pictures without the flash at all, despite it being extremely bright in the room (5 different lights on plus 3 overhead halogen track lights). The camera's shutter speed was so slow that it was nearly impossible to get a picture that wasn't blurry. Maybe 1 in every 4 pictures came out clear. I believe the fact that its a 10 megapixel camera is what did it.
I used to have a Cannon PowerShot SD450 that was awesome, but it was stolen and so I needed a replacement. I had no complaints about the 450 and it took the same type of pictures in bright indoor lighting just fine without a flash, unlike the 900. I am sure the camera would be fine for people who always use the flash or take their pictures in bright sunlight but for my purpose, this camera was horrible and it has since been returned. Instead, I just got a Fuji Finepix F30, which is supposed to be better without the flash. We'll see!

As soon as the battery is charged, we were ready to go. In auto mode, it was as easy as turn on, point (focus), and shoot. Especially love the (1) speed at which it turns on and is ready to go and (2) the large, clear display screen. Additional modes are available, but I have only begun to explore. On the downside, this model is larger than the other Elph models and barely fits into the Canon camera bag.

We had a Canon Powershot S50 3 years ago, loved it. So this time when my husband wanted to buy another digital compact camera, we specifically looked for Canons.
We originally were thinking of getting the SD700,800 or something like that. But after we compared these cameras together in a store near us. We found out SD900 has the finest LCD display, more opitions in control panel... So we came back and bought it from Amazon (our favorite online store).
We used it in our last trip to Grand Cayon, LV, SF etc. This SD900 takes very good pictures, especially in good lighting conditions. Colors are also smooth and rich.
The downside, as you may already read from others' reviews, no battery indication, no raw(it's ok, my husband doesn't do much editiing anyway, it will be too much to ask for a campact camera to offer), control panel is sensitive... don't get frustrated if you happened to pressed the wrong button and couldn't figure the way out during the time of shooting. Stich is a great function which comes with, but when in a very bright area, you can not see the stich alignment very well on the LCD screen (I guess it's a common trouble to all digital compact cameras which are relay on LCD dispay).
Overall, it's a wonderful camera, we love it. It's my husband's camera, I uses Canon 350D, but I borrow it from my husband sometimes because it's tiny compares to my 10 lbs "moose" and it takes very good pictures.

I just got back from my first trip using this camera, and it performed excellently.
Two things I found very good:
Night shots at high ISO and no flash were outstanding. I took a lot of pics of the Hong Kong skyline, and they were just stunning. No blurry image and crisp colors and lines. There is no need for "no shake", given these pics are possible at this high ISO with no tripod.
Battery endurance was unbelievably long. I was taking pics constantly all over Hong Kong for two straight days, including a lot of night shots. The battery lasted the entire time. I bought a second battery as a backup, but I rather doubt I am every going to need it, with this kind of endurance.
This is the best compact camera I have ever owned.

At 10mp, this camera takes some of the clearest and visually stunning pictures I have ever taken with a digital camera. The clarity and detail alone are reason to get this camera. The display, although pooh-poohed by others as too small, is quite large to me.
The cameras small, lithe design is another selling point. Nothing bulky about this camera. You can put it in your front pants-pocket if you needed to.

It's amazing how much they can squeeze into such a small space.
I have owned one form of the Elph or another, for the past 7 or 8 years, and they've always been top quality. This version is no exception. Everything you'd expect from one of the leading names in digital cameras.
The screen is BIG, and the menus and onscreen information is clear and everything is very intuitive. The picture quality is fantastic! Crisp and hi res, with many options for size and quality. The detail on some of my shots is simply astounding!
The video capture is some of the best I've seen from a none dedicated camera. The 640x480 @ 60 fps mode, is quite startling when you first see it. The improved video capabilities is one of the main reasons I upgraded.
The battery life seems very good. Infact, I'd say it's a bit of an improvement over my last Elph. I purchased an extra battery, so I could be charging one, while using the other. I still haven't switched batteries yet :)
Overall, very please. This is a great, stylish, neat, full featured, camera!

"lens error, restart camera" message appears today (mar 26) after buying production on amazon on feb 20, 07.

"I LOVE THIS CAMERA," stated by one of my friends who purchased his Canon SD900 last week ago.
Last weekend ago, I remember playing with my best friend Canon SD900 digital camera. I was amaze by the fit-n-finish of this product...meaning, the quality of how this camera came about. This camera simply had it all - 10mp, awesome photos, amazing features, etc!! But what was wrong with the Canon SD900?
One thing that I was quite disappointed was how the camera only had a 3x the optical zoom level. I own a Canon SD800 camera, and my camera actually has a 3.8x the optical zoom level. This means that I could zoom in far more closer into a specific object or action with the Canon SD800 than the Canon SD900.
The second thing was that the Canon SD800 had the image-stabilized wide zoom. This means that when I zoom into an object or thing, I could rotate my lens of my camera to make the picture focus more on one specific object than just one whole picture in itself. Like the SD800, the SD900 does NOT have that feature. This means that for the SD900, not only do you have fewer optical zoom level than the SD800, but you also can't adjust the quality of the picture/object while taking photos on your SD900.
Lastly, I took a couple of photos in the SD800 and SD900. When comparing the quality of each pictures, I found quite surprisingly that the 7mp photo and the 10mp pictures were VERY similar. There wasn't much change in the picture quality of these two cameras. YES, the SD900 do have more mega-pixels than the SD800, but I found out that there wasn't much of a difference between those two cameras in terms of quality photos.
In simple words, there is NOTHING wrong with the SD900. I just think that if you are debating between whether to buy the SD800 or the SD900, I believe the SD800 would be a better choice than the SD900. A 10mp camera doesn't have much difference from a 7mp camera. I believe that the SD800 simply lets the individual have more control on how they want there photos to come out to be than the SD900.
But to not make any judgments here, I believe that the SD800, in MY opinion, is better than the SD900.

I've really been enjoying this camera. I bought it as my "carry camera" when I don't want to lug around my Rebel XT. Nice small camera. Fits well in my shirt pocket. Very sturdy feel and construction. May be too small for people with big hands. Picture quality is great. The flash is much stronger than I expected for such a small camera. I had a great time with this camera on my trip to Disney World. Was able to tweak the ISO settings to take pictures w/o flash in very dim areas. ISO 3200 mode is quite fun to play with. You pay a price for the noise introduced in the pictures, but it's still a clear picture where you may not normally be able to take one. At normal ISO settings, the pictures are clear with vibrant colors. I wish the camera had more manual control, but for most purposes it's fine. When I need more control, I can use my Rebel XT. Suggest you buy at least a 2GB SD card. I also recommend the Lowepro Ridge 10 (Arctic Blue) as a small camera case.

I just bought this great little camera yesterday. I always enjoy reading all the opinions of others and certainly felt comfortable buying this after reading all the excellent comments. Of course there will always be some who can find something wrong with anything and I truly feel that is perfectly OK, however, most of the negative comments I have read pertain to things I feel any buyer should investigate "BEFORE" the purchase is made and not afterward. For example, this really is a small camera. My hands have a tough time getting around all the little controls and staying out of the way of the lens, sensors and controls, however, the more I used it, the more comfortable I felt with it. Some had said it is too large! Go figure!
A few have referred to having another, more expensive camera with options to change lens, etc. I also fall into this category. I have a great Canon 20 D camera which I absolutely love, however, our smaller first generation Kodak was beginning to fade a bit so we decided to get this one as an alternative to packing in the serious and more bulky 20 D. Now my wife is claiming she will keep the new SD900 in her purse so she is taking my promise to make this "her camera" a little too seriously. I hope she will grow tired of it and I will occasionally get the chance to use it a bit more.
Now, getting down to the actually purpose of this review, I have only spent a few hours last evening and this morning "fiddling" with the camera. I am very impressed with both the software and hardware elements of the camera. The pictures have been great. I have really about run out of things to take pictures of around the house, however, I have some wonderful pictures of the dogs, flowers and patio. I have snapped away at some rather lame subjects just to test this thing out and I have come away with some truly excellent quality shots. I love the "macro" mode. You can start at two inches from the flower (or whatever) and get lots of great detail. My Canon 20 D will not do this without a special "macro" lens.
One of the most outstanding things I love about the 20 D is the ability to take pictures at plays or concerts without using the flash. Of course most places will run you off if you use flash, even the grade school crowd will frown at you firing off your flash every few minutes and it usually is nothing more than a waste of effort in the first place as most flashes are really not much good beyond a few feet. So, point being, I have always defaulted to 1600 ASA or, perhaps even 3200 ASA and not had to use flash at all. Yes, some might say the shot will be a little grainy (noisy) at the higher speeds and I have not yet tried out the new SD900 in low light situations, however, I expect that it will offer us many more options by having the same ability to move up to the higher 1600 and 3200 ASA settings as I have used with my more expensive Canon. I have printed many shots at 13 X 19 inches and have had very few issues with grain or noise. I think having this as an option on the SD900 is one of the most attractive options. You can do a lot of shooting in limited light situations without flash if your camera has the higher ASA options.
This camera, like many of the newer cameras on the market today, has lots of other options which I have not yet explored. I certainly do not have great expectations when it comes to a lot of latitude when shooting in "manual" modes but this is really not what this camera is about. Yes, you can shoot manual but I am not actually planning on doing much with this camera in this mode; maybe we will but it seems to be doing such a great job in the several "auto modes" that I figure will we be doing lots quick shooting and not take the time to use the manual modes....of course this is just my initial review after having the camera a grand total of one day so I am a far cry from speaking with absolute conviction and knowledge. Hopefully we will know much more after a trip or two and having more than the neighborhood flowers and dogs as subjects!
Bottom line, great little camera. It seems to me that we have a bit of a learning curve before understanding what all the different warning lights, etc. mean, however, if we just keep it set up in to "auto mode" we will likely never need to know all of that in the first place. It's certainly not a cheap camera and seems to be rather solid so I expect to try out everything it has to offer in the next few months.
One more thing. The "movie option" seems to work fine. I currently have a two gig card in the camera and can see it will be needed if we shoot a lot of video movies, however, shooting the highest "JPG" quality still shots will give us more than 500 pictures per card so I suspect we will be very pleased with this 2 gig card. Not to end on a negative, however, including a 32 meg memory card with this fine little camera is really not much of a perk! Save it for an emergency backup and buy a decent memory card.

This is my second digital Canon camera, the first is a G3. Both are great! The problem is that the supplied software, ZoomBrowser, has serious problems, at least on Windows XP Professional. After installing the software for the SD900 under one userID, ZoomBrowser will not run under any other userID. The problem appears as a "Critical Error" "Invalid class string". A google search indicates that this is not an uncommon problem, and Canon is pretty unresponsive in providing a solution. After a couple of email exchanges with Canon, I'm not optimistic that they have capable user support -- at least for software.

I purchased this camera for my wife for Christmas. I use it more then she does, it is great. I have a Canon SLR D30 that was almost three thousand dollars and the SD9000 takes as good or better pictures then the expensive Canon.
Although you can't change lenses on this camera it is still a great camera for everyday use and I have no problem recommending it to anyone. Five is not enough stars for this camera.

I consider myself a photography enthusiast and a bit of an electronics geek. I love looking at the latest and greatest gadgets and often end up telling myself that I HAVE to have them especially when it comes to digital cameras. I've owned 3 sony digital cameras all of which were pretty popular models (p10, t7, n1). Although my sony cameras were always very sleek and stylish, they always fell short when it came to taking pictures of my cats and of the children I work with. If you know cats and kids, then you know they NEVER stay still. My pics often came out blurry and the settings always had to be adjusted to take a decent picture. A forced flash always had to be on in order to catch a decent pose and the color of the picture would never look natural. I also thought the newer sony models would solve these problems but after my 3rd sony, I only saw minimal improvement. I was a bit hesitant to switch brands but after fiddling with a couple of canon's from friends, I decided it was time to switch.
After having this camera for about a month and a half, I don't think I can ever go back to a sony. To say the SD900 is awesome would be an understatement. It is by far the most versatile camera I've ever used. It takes beautiful pictures in low light, indoor, and outdoor settings, but what sets this camera apart is that it takes great pictures of constantly moving objects like cats and kids in these backdrops as well! The colors are rich and natural, not washed out by the flash like my sony cameras. The images are crisp in detail and even in light distribution. With the high ISO setting on the camera, you can take beautiful indoor shots without a flash that no other camera can handle. The battery life is good and the lag between pushing the button and actually having the photo take isn't bad. There are faster cameras out there that are quicker in response time but the quality pictures I keep getting from this camera is more than enough to overlook this.
My sony n1 took great video but often had a hard time keeping focus on the subject matter. It would constantly go in and out of focus and make it difficult to watch sometimes. The SD900 totally blows the n1 out of the water when it comes to taking quality videos. The videos are crystal clear even when cats or kids are running around wild which is something I never experienced with a sony camera.
I still prefer the sony interface and screen layout. Maybe that's just because I'm so used to it. The canon doesn't have the battery indicator that tracks battery life down to the minute nor does it have the storage gauge to let you know how full the memory card is at all times like the sonys. It's a bit annoying at times to not have these features but its no deal breaker.
Overall, it's a great camera. It's a little bit on the expensive side because its canon's top of the line model. If you want something cheaper but don't want to give up the stellar performance, you should go with the SD630. I had that camera and after playing with it for a few weeks, I was thoroughly convinced that it was time to be a canon believer. I now see the light. If you want to see some of the awesome things the sd900 can do, view customer images and you'll see pictures of my cat that i took way up close. Keep in mind that these photos were not cropped or altered in any way by photo software. If you try to take a picture this close up with a sony, all you'll get is a blurry image. I hope this review was helpful and that you'll join me and all the other converts to the canon promise land.

Camera takes great pictures.
Two items to consider - there is no indication for remaining battery charge (versus Sony 7.2 MP CyberShot which gives specific minutes remaining) nor a low battery indicator. It just shuts off. It also is extremely sensitive to movement of fingers past the function dial. Just holding the camera anywhere near the dial causes one of the menus to pop up. This can occur frequently when holding or turning the camera to capture the best angle.

My parents recently purchased this camera and I was extremely impressed by the quality of the pictures. The camera is able to take pictures of moving objects with extreme clarity. I was able to capture a picture of my dog running towards me and also of my dog jumping in the air, and these pictures look totally professional.
The video function on this is also amazing. In terms of quality, the video is a huge improvement from my SD450 as the colors are might brighter and sharper, and I believe the resolution is better.
Overall, this camera takes amazing pictures. I also have a G series powershot - I never thought the SD series could take pictures comparable to my G series but I must say, the SD 900 does! Absolutely amazed by the quality of these pictures.

I bought this to replace an early tiny camera which had a limited lens and pixels. This camera has an excellent lens, and great features - beautifully thought out in terms of user-friendliness. Even though I have read the manual, I keep finding new little bells and whistles that are useful, not just fun. It is an ideal camera for a good photo-hobbiest who doesn't want to carry a big camera everywhere, but is concerned with quality.
Additionally - and importantly - I leaned toward Canon because their service with my printer has been outstanding.

I'd been looking to upgrade from my 5 megapixel Sony DSC-V1 for some time. I'd just gotten the feeling that Canon was starting to produce better optics than Sony, and that there products were superior. I chose the PowerShot SD900 because of its small profile, the titanium body, its 10 megapixel capability and, frankly, all of the postive reviews I saw on Amazon praising its razor-sharp imaging and ease of use. I'd seen images from a SD600 that were not great, but I assumed that the SD900 was a later generation and that some of the imaging problems had been fixed.
After having used this camera for a few weeks, and actually spending the money to get the WP-DC7 waterproof case, I'm quite disappointed. Pictures shot with the SD900 are perpetually blurry and loaded with compression artifacts. I'm not a professional photographer, so my first assumption was that I was the problem. But I've made all the expected adjustments to correct this - changing the ISO settings, changing the exposure, shooting on full manual.
Even images where light is optimal with a completely still subject and using a tripod, I can't get this camera to produce the same quality of image that the DSC-V1 did. Images are far from razor sharp, and the color is off. Sure, I can cook the pictures with Photoshop, which I regularly do, but you can't make a blurry picture clear through software. I can only surmise that I'm used to shooting with a Sony camera equipped with Carl Zeiss optics, and that the Canon's lens simply doesn't deliver the same picture consistently. I'm tempted to go with a less compact Canon with a larger lens, but after this experience, the odds of my returning this camera and going back to Sony are high.

I bought this camera to replace my first digital camera, a broken Olympus Stylus. I immediately found it a lot easier and more intuitive to use than my old camera. The overall quality and clarity of images is very good, and the camera is truly pocket sized, so I can take it everywhere (and do!) The 10-megapixal images allow me to crop with wild abandon and still have a great image left. The ISO and exposure settings are really easy to use and have helped me improve focus and exposure levels in tricky lighting conditions. The zoom lens works well and the flashing icon warning about camera shake is pretty helpful. I love the big, bright view screen, and the power management features work really well for me. I'm very happy with this camera.
I was also delighted to be able to order it overnight, at a good price, from Amazon.

Having a Canon G3, I figured updating to the latest would be an improvement. I was wrong. The many, many controls on this camera are not intuitive...even though I've been using my G3 for 4 years. It's not as slim as I wanted either. The focus is all funky with multiple boxes popping up as opposed to the one in dead-center that I'm used to. It does take very good macro shots, at 10 mgpixel it should!
I returned this after using it two days and will continue to use my old reliable G3.

For everyone that is stuck between the SD800IS and SD900 - read this review. I was in the same position before buying the SD900 for my mom. I read a million reviews and still could not decide. I ended up going with the SD900 because I wanted the 10 megapixel and various features.(I play soccer and my mom loves using her new SD900 becuase she can take a picture where the ball is stopped in mid-air or can have the ball look like a white streaking line.) The SD800IS is more of a point-and-shoot camera. I recommend the SD800IS for people that just want default settings and shake when taking pictures. I also recommend going to the store and trying them both before purchasing it online. For future SD900 buyers, I was able to purchase the camera for the same price as the SD800IS on amazon.

This camera is all that I wanted and more--easy to use, versatile, publishable photos with lots of details. With the 10 mexapixels, you can even crop the heck out of the shots and they are still detailed enough for publishing. The user's manual, unfortunately, is virtually incomprehensible, but the camera's menu is clear and simple to use, even for non-technical people like me. Recommend a large SD card; I chose 2G and can take almost 300 shots at full detail.

I have used Canon Digital Cameras for years. First because they were compatible with Mac. But now because they are user-friendly and always result in excellent photographs. On top of that, the customer service I've received from Canon is amazing -- even after the warranty has expired. They are very helpful and nice. Now, that I have their latest camera, the amazing SD900, there's only one problem: when I pull it out to take pictures, people want to touch it and see it and play with it. In other words, they're so impressed with how the camera looks and how small and lite it is, I can't get it back to actually take pictures at the occasion.

I selected this model over 850IS after read many review and tried itmyself at local stores. The LCD resolution is great and brigther than 850IS's. I even took some pictures with 850IS in the store before made the decision. The flaw that I could not stand with 850IS is blurry images at all 4 corners due to its wide angle lens. It's obvious when I see the pictures on my laptop. With 900Ti, the image quality is superb compared to other models in its class. I own other Canon cameras as well e.g.10D and G2; and not disappoint to get this one because image quality is the most important to me. The camera also responsive pretty well. Quick startup time and delay between shots (used with Sandisk UltraII 2GB). Little complain on the size 'cause it's so small and a bit slippery, I almost drop it on the floor. Luckily that I always use hand strap.
Quite disappoint with Amazon though. At the time I ordered, I was going to oversea trip. So I ordered with 2 days shipping. It arrived on time but when I picked up at local UPS facility, the package seemed to be opened before and looked terrible (e.g.dent,re-taped). I've ordered from Amazon for a few times and never had this problem. I felt really uncomfortable to sign off the package with shipping label torn off and re-taped because no way to check the contents. The UPS guys didn't understand what happened neither. Because I was about to leave the US on my trip, I decided to sign off. Fortunately that the contents seemed to be ok.

Best camera I ever owned! It does so many things I don't know if I'll ever get to them all. I was a bit intimidated by it at first but then, unlike many including myself prior to purchasing this one, I read the simple directions. It is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship and takes wonderful pictures. I also purchased the 2G picture card so I started with almost 1000 shots and since before New Yew Years I've shot about 300 picture! It's amazing and I couldn't be happier with the quality.
I was a bit "put off" by some reviewers mention of it being "noisy" I'm glad I took a chance on it. The "noise" is the normal open and closing sound a camera makes when you open or close ANY camera or click the shutter. It's a great buy. It was at least $100.00 cheaper than Best Buy or Circuit City and that allowed me to buy a few extras. You can get a nice camera case at Wal-Mart for $5.64 but the memory card is a deal.

I am a life-long camera buff (for that history see my Amazon review on the Nikon P-1 Coolpix). Recently, I upgraded from the P-1 (purchased in January of 2006) to the new Canon SD-900 Power Shot "Digital Elph". What a change!
My wife has been shooting a Canon SD-550 for two years and her happy experience helped me to choose Canon's latest pocket digital. This "Elph's" 10.0 mega pixel, 3X zoom lens is dramatically different from the various cameras I have used!
Although there are many items to be praised with this newest Power Shot a few are particularly noteworthy. Thankfully, Canon has retained the Power Shot's titanium housing. Scratched camera is only a memory. The "AF-assistance Beam" is very accurate. With 100s of photos taken so far, there are no "blurry shots". It is a delight to stretch its ISO to 3200 (we're ready for those lava tubes)! The brilliant customize self-timer option creates a new versatility (four shots over 15 seconds considerably reduces the probability of subjects' closed eyes).
This Power Shot's 10 mega pixels print out in vivid accuracy and bold portrayal. Our photos are stunning! The SD-900 also features Canon's signature one-piece (without a chord) battery charger. The large display sees everything photographed. This Elph takes less time to record the photo to the disk (the Coolpix is a dinosaur in comparison). And although both cameras weigh about the same, the SD-900 is slightly smaller than the P-1 (and fits better into pockets, back packs, and suit cases).
The Canon SD-900 Power Shot is a great camera and an excellent gift candidate. It is recommended to the camera pros and novices.
Happy New Year!!

I bought my first digital camera about four or five years ago, it was a Canon Powershot Digital Elph SD200 (2.0 megapixels). I used that camera and it worked very well. I decided to upgrade to the Canon Powershot Elph SD900 and have been very happy with it so far. I was unsure what they meant by saying it was a titanium body until last night when I dropped it on pavement. I expected scratches, and it did scratch - however, i wiped my hand over it a few times and the scratches came off. So instead on the camera getting scratched on the pavement, the pavement actually got scratched by the camera.
The other reviews I read about the noises the camera makes like gears, mine does not do this. No loud noises, grinding or the such. I believe they may have recognized this problem and already fixed it. The flash is wonderful and effective at great distances, my last camera you had to be close for the flash to work.
Overall, great camera, no problems, great flash, I would recommend.

I'm by no means a pro but own 3 Sony digital cameras all bought within the past 2 years and have been so unhappy - so much so i even decided to go back to an old film camera to achieve good pics.
Haven't really had time to play around with all the features but a great shot on AUTO mode as soon as you take it out of the box makes me a very happy snapper.

The SD900 is my 6th digital camera, replacing a well-used Canon S400 workhorse. I wanted more pixels (10MP vs 4MP), a larger LCD screen (~3x larger than S400), faster powerup (>2x as fast), wider ISO range (ISO 3200 max vs ISO 400 max), faster shot-to-shot times, better user interface, scratch-resistant case material (titanium), same or smaller size/weight and SD memory cards (new laptop has an SD reader). The top-of-the-line Canon SD900 titanium-clad wundercam delivers the goods; but not without a few caveats. The titanium case is gorgeous and virtually scratch-proof; but it's quite slippery and provides no discernable perch for fingers. (I've gotten used to it.) On the first few powerups, it sounded like the lens gears were grinding and jumping teeth or something: The usual "whir" sound was very loud, with strange clicking sounds. I almost returned the camera; but it appears to work fine.
JPEG compression artifacts are quite visible, especially at the "Fine" quality setting (~2-3 MB file size). The huge 10.0 megapixel CCD produces oceans of detail; but it is very noisy at high ISO settings. At lowest aperature (f2.8), some lens softness and purple fringing is visible in certain scenes. At higher aperatures and longer focal lengths, images are razor-sharp. The SD900 has no image stabilization; but I was able to take handheld shots in extremely low light conditions with no problem. This camera is small enought to carry with you at all times, in the pocket, the purse, the briefcase, the glovebox, always at the ready when that perfect photo opportunity presents itself. It doesn't matter now great your camera is if you don't have it with you to capture those priceless photos. If you can only have one camera, get this one

Well, I just got this camera and have only taken about 200 pics so far but am very impressed. I won't go over all the stuff that's already been talked about but I will say that it's a huge improvement. The 10 megapixels may at first seem like overkill but when you see the results you'll understand the potential of this tiny camera. It's great actually being able to take really nice photos with a digital zoom for once, not to mention how beautiful the regular 3X zoom is. Great optics and great color over the sd700 IS, which I'm upgrading from. Also much improved menus and useability. The digic III is awesome, it's fast and the facial recognition is really cool. There is'nt a whole lot of drawbacks, Image stabilization would be nice, but I never want those crummy sd700 is optics again. Flash is a little weak, but it always has been on these. Other than that I'm totally satisfied with this camera. It's one that I plan to hold on to for quite a while Which makes my wife happy, and me very happy!

Yesterday, I got home with my new sd800. And due to the scrutiny of the forums, I immediately had to test it. I compared exact duplicate shots from my SD550 to this "upgrade" sd800. I am very sad to say that in normal shooting conditions, this model just couldn't keep up. The main things I saw the sd800 losing horribly to the sd550 in were: picture clarity, sharpness (edge to edge) and color accuracy (the sd800's produces a very warm shot, too much yellow & red). This was a disappointment indeed when you compare the fact that my sd550 is almost a year old.
Now, on the flip-side, and should you ever find yourself in "overhead fan lighting," this will be where the true benefits of the sd800 become VERY clear. If this is how you shoot, the IS will become a lifesaver for every single shot. But aside from a museum or other "no flash," location, RARELY am I not using the flash on my camera. And I found the trick to not having over-saturation or too much flash contrast (whatever the model) is to just lower the brightness setting prior to shooting and use a bit of Photoshop shadow highlight love. (Although this can never fully prevent your shot from the flashlight effect left on objects from shooting, but it helps). This camera is only ideal for shooting in an IS situation. Period. Or at least IMHO, but it is my review right? lol
My solution was simple. I ended up taking a risk against better judgment, returned the sd800, and got the sd900. Let me just say that the quality from this camera will NEVER be achievable from an SD800. So make the call. If IS is your "make or break feature," go for the 700is, or800is. However if its quality you want from your shots, and you aren't found in low light situations often, the 550 or 900 are the way to go! Price per mega pixel being the only difference.

10 megapixels, digital macro, telephoto, high ISO, higher definition video, less noise even at higher ISO settings. A nice little package that is worth the upgrade from the SD700 series, and coupled with a 4GB Sandisk SDHC, you got yourself a semi-proffesional, portable photography platform...
But (alas,) the experience is marred by a extremely noisy shutter, with very distracting gear noises generated every-time you try to focus in on a subject or object (you can feel the gears vibrations while holding the case.)

Great pictures, great features. However, I had the same experience as a previous reviewer related to exposure to weather. This camera got damp (emphasize damp only) upon which it ceased to operate. After apparently drying out, all functions returned - except the LCD screen (which Canon reports is not ecomonically feasible to repair). This situation was unexpected as my SD800 (with wide-angle lens and a different type of casing) that I use as part of my work (outdoors) is pretty regularly awash in rain - and I haven't had any such problems over the past year. Thus, as previously stated, be warned in regard to the SD900.

This is my second Canon digital camera purchase--my first is a Canon SLR digital rebel. I love the digital SLR but it is too bulky for me to tote around for everyday photos. I decided to purchase the Canon SD900 after my Nikon Coolpix died after 5 years of daily use. I've been using the SD900 for 2 weeks now and love it. The SD900 sold me on its tiny size, huge display, 10 MP photos, different ISO settings and the various movie modes. It fits perfectly into my smallest purse and into pockets. It is a little heavier than the Nikon Coolpix I had, but that is due to the solid construction. I have small hands and the camera is easy for me to hold--no straining or slippage. Another sell point for me was the rechargeable battery--I charge it once a week and I am set for an hour or so a day of photo taking. On sightseeing trips I prefer to charge it every other day.
The only thing that annoys me about the camera is the slowness of clicking through the Manual menu settings to set up the white balance, exposure, ect. Something about the way the menus are set up seems less intuitive than on the Nikon Coolpix or the Digital Rebel SLR. It's not unexpected on such a tiny camera but for the price point I expected just a little more.
The SCN settings are very handy and easy to chose from, and the automatic setting works well when in a hurry to capture a shot. I love the face detect feature--it makes framing the subjects a piece of cake.
The movie modes are a fun option. I find them useful to take little clips of the kids to send to the grandparents. The audio is pretty good.
If you are looking for a pocket/purse camera packed with features for daily use, this is it.

I have gone through 3 cameras in the past few months, and consider myself pretty well informed as of now.
First of all, I purchased the Casio Exilim 10mp camera on Amazon, but found it lacking features and a little cheap feeling. Then I decided to go back to Canon (I had an SD450 before) and buy the SD900. I like the Titanium body and easy to use control dial on the back. I was familiar with Canon from my previous camera.
I ordered the sd900 and it arrived. I took it out to San Francisco for day trip and after taking only 15 photos or so, the lens made a noise and didn't retract. The camera gave a cryptic error message and promptly shut off with the lens still sticking out. My sister remarked that the camera was "constantly happy to see her" All in all, a troubling and embarrassing experience. I sent the camera back in to Amazon and they accepted the return.
But, I returned to Amazon and bought the camera again.
Recently, while at a party, I was unfortunate enough to lose track of the camera and it vanished forever! :(
But, Guess what? I'm most likely going to buy yet another SD900. It's just that good.
So if you are looking for a good snap shot digital camera, I highly recommend this one and wish you better luck than I've had with it.

I upgraded to this camera from the Canon SD550 hoping to get some reduction in the amount of red-eye I get in my pictures--no such luck. I have tried everything in the manual remotely related to red-eye to reduce the problem with no luck.
I was surprised to have this issue since most people rave about this camera. It does take great scenic shots, has great resolution and takes great videos, but 90% of the people in my photos have red-eye that I have to try and remove with software.
Maybe I've just had bad luck with my two Canons but I plan on selling mine and purchasing another brand.

i own a canon 20d digital, prosumer camera but needed an unobtrusive pocket camera for those situations requiring more stealth and mobility. that being said, the powershot sd900 fits in the average shirt pocket (though its weight - approx. 10 oz., makes the pockets in my silk shirts sag a bit - a minor fashion faux pas) and is reasonably quick to start up - about 3 seconds from pressing the "on" button to shutter release. the titanium casing is a plus as it maintains its "out of the box" look despite fingerprints, minor bumps and dust. the screen is large enough to be able to evaluate pics on the fly and the buttons, though small for my rather large fingers, do the job well. the 10 mp gives most people plenty of detail even for 16 x 24 enlargements. it comes with cords and software to connect to your computer (though direct camera to pc uploading is not the easiest thing to accomplish if you have an older computer. n.b. "older" = more than 3 years-old.) it would be wise to get a 1 - 2 gig memory fast-write card which will facilitate the camera's write -to - disk speed.
now the problems - the flash is rather weak and you have to be close to your subject for the flash to be of any use. also because the flash is so close to the lense, it's hard to diffuse the flash lighting with a handkerchief or even a tissue - so you get those "white out" areas in your pic if you are not careful in the placement of your subject.
also if you like to take a lot of museum shots, when you disable the flash, it is very, i repeat, very difficult to produce sharp pics even in bright museum lighting. you need a gorilla pod (tm), a surgeon's steadiness, or some other stabilizing accessory.
the 3x optical zoom is all but useless and will help frame only subjects that are relatively close to you - no more than 12 feet or so.
the upshot for the powershot? understand that when you purchase a point-and-shoot camera, your main purpose arguably, is to buy something that will capture, with reasonable accuracy, that bressonian "decisive moment" that would otherwise be lost if you had to fiddle with dials, knobs, focusing rings, light meters, histograms, etc. in this, the digital elph performs admirably.

I have had this camera about a week. It's replacing a Canon G6 that I loved, but is just too big. This camera is so small - I love it! About the size of a deck of cards. And the menus are so user friendly. It makes all the settings easy to use. I agree w/ the other reviews that I do wish it had stability b/c some pictures are coming out blurry. The shake warning shows for almost every picture I take. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. But otherwise, I am extremely with this camera and would definitely recommend it.

Only used a few times. Too bad this camera doesn't have a image stabilizer. OTher than that, if you use the auto setting, it'll take good pictures, but if you turn of the flash, the picture will get somewhat blurry since they ISO setting will get low. but other than that, im happy.
hate the fact Canon cameras doesnt have a battery meter display, only a low battery warning.

I've had this camera for a couple of weeks now, it's my 4th digital camera. I am very happy with the photos I'm able to take, they are truly outstanding. I'm still learning all of the settings but I'm finding everything to be user-friendly. I like the way it feels in my hand and I'm pleased with the battery life. I purchased a 2GB card to replace the one that came with the camera and it's been the perfect size for me. The video is amazing, I was standing in the upstairs bathroom of our 2 story house and saw our little one jumping on the trampoline at the far end of our backyard, so I decided to tape it. Not only was the quality good, the camera picked up the audio, which I never expected! And I like that you can zoom in or out while you're taping, I wasn't able to do that with my last camera.
I've had no problems downloading the pics or videos to my computer and the prints I've gotten have been great as well.

My primary use for this camera was to take pictures indoors with very bright lighting, without the use of a flash. The camera couldn't handle taking pictures without the flash at all, despite it being extremely bright in the room (5 different lights on plus 3 overhead halogen track lights). The camera's shutter speed was so slow that it was nearly impossible to get a picture that wasn't blurry. Maybe 1 in every 4 pictures came out clear. I believe the fact that its a 10 megapixel camera is what did it.
I used to have a Cannon PowerShot SD450 that was awesome, but it was stolen and so I needed a replacement. I had no complaints about the 450 and it took the same type of pictures in bright indoor lighting just fine without a flash, unlike the 900. I am sure the camera would be fine for people who always use the flash or take their pictures in bright sunlight but for my purpose, this camera was horrible and it has since been returned. Instead, I just got a Fuji Finepix F30, which is supposed to be better without the flash. We'll see!

As soon as the battery is charged, we were ready to go. In auto mode, it was as easy as turn on, point (focus), and shoot. Especially love the (1) speed at which it turns on and is ready to go and (2) the large, clear display screen. Additional modes are available, but I have only begun to explore. On the downside, this model is larger than the other Elph models and barely fits into the Canon camera bag.

We had a Canon Powershot S50 3 years ago, loved it. So this time when my husband wanted to buy another digital compact camera, we specifically looked for Canons.
We originally were thinking of getting the SD700,800 or something like that. But after we compared these cameras together in a store near us. We found out SD900 has the finest LCD display, more opitions in control panel... So we came back and bought it from Amazon (our favorite online store).
We used it in our last trip to Grand Cayon, LV, SF etc. This SD900 takes very good pictures, especially in good lighting conditions. Colors are also smooth and rich.
The downside, as you may already read from others' reviews, no battery indication, no raw(it's ok, my husband doesn't do much editiing anyway, it will be too much to ask for a campact camera to offer), control panel is sensitive... don't get frustrated if you happened to pressed the wrong button and couldn't figure the way out during the time of shooting. Stich is a great function which comes with, but when in a very bright area, you can not see the stich alignment very well on the LCD screen (I guess it's a common trouble to all digital compact cameras which are relay on LCD dispay).
Overall, it's a wonderful camera, we love it. It's my husband's camera, I uses Canon 350D, but I borrow it from my husband sometimes because it's tiny compares to my 10 lbs "moose" and it takes very good pictures.

I just got back from my first trip using this camera, and it performed excellently.
Two things I found very good:
Night shots at high ISO and no flash were outstanding. I took a lot of pics of the Hong Kong skyline, and they were just stunning. No blurry image and crisp colors and lines. There is no need for "no shake", given these pics are possible at this high ISO with no tripod.
Battery endurance was unbelievably long. I was taking pics constantly all over Hong Kong for two straight days, including a lot of night shots. The battery lasted the entire time. I bought a second battery as a backup, but I rather doubt I am every going to need it, with this kind of endurance.
This is the best compact camera I have ever owned.

At 10mp, this camera takes some of the clearest and visually stunning pictures I have ever taken with a digital camera. The clarity and detail alone are reason to get this camera. The display, although pooh-poohed by others as too small, is quite large to me.
The cameras small, lithe design is another selling point. Nothing bulky about this camera. You can put it in your front pants-pocket if you needed to.

It's amazing how much they can squeeze into such a small space.
I have owned one form of the Elph or another, for the past 7 or 8 years, and they've always been top quality. This version is no exception. Everything you'd expect from one of the leading names in digital cameras.
The screen is BIG, and the menus and onscreen information is clear and everything is very intuitive. The picture quality is fantastic! Crisp and hi res, with many options for size and quality. The detail on some of my shots is simply astounding!
The video capture is some of the best I've seen from a none dedicated camera. The 640x480 @ 60 fps mode, is quite startling when you first see it. The improved video capabilities is one of the main reasons I upgraded.
The battery life seems very good. Infact, I'd say it's a bit of an improvement over my last Elph. I purchased an extra battery, so I could be charging one, while using the other. I still haven't switched batteries yet :)
Overall, very please. This is a great, stylish, neat, full featured, camera!

"I LOVE THIS CAMERA," stated by one of my friends who purchased his Canon SD900 last week ago.
Last weekend ago, I remember playing with my best friend Canon SD900 digital camera. I was amaze by the fit-n-finish of this product...meaning, the quality of how this camera came about. This camera simply had it all - 10mp, awesome photos, amazing features, etc!! But what was wrong with the Canon SD900?
One thing that I was quite disappointed was how the camera only had a 3x the optical zoom level. I own a Canon SD800 camera, and my camera actually has a 3.8x the optical zoom level. This means that I could zoom in far more closer into a specific object or action with the Canon SD800 than the Canon SD900.
The second thing was that the Canon SD800 had the image-stabilized wide zoom. This means that when I zoom into an object or thing, I could rotate my lens of my camera to make the picture focus more on one specific object than just one whole picture in itself. Like the SD800, the SD900 does NOT have that feature. This means that for the SD900, not only do you have fewer optical zoom level than the SD800, but you also can't adjust the quality of the picture/object while taking photos on your SD900.
Lastly, I took a couple of photos in the SD800 and SD900. When comparing the quality of each pictures, I found quite surprisingly that the 7mp photo and the 10mp pictures were VERY similar. There wasn't much change in the picture quality of these two cameras. YES, the SD900 do have more mega-pixels than the SD800, but I found out that there wasn't much of a difference between those two cameras in terms of quality photos.
In simple words, there is NOTHING wrong with the SD900. I just think that if you are debating between whether to buy the SD800 or the SD900, I believe the SD800 would be a better choice than the SD900. A 10mp camera doesn't have much difference from a 7mp camera. I believe that the SD800 simply lets the individual have more control on how they want there photos to come out to be than the SD900.
But to not make any judgments here, I believe that the SD800, in MY opinion, is better than the SD900.

I've really been enjoying this camera. I bought it as my "carry camera" when I don't want to lug around my Rebel XT. Nice small camera. Fits well in my shirt pocket. Very sturdy feel and construction. May be too small for people with big hands. Picture quality is great. The flash is much stronger than I expected for such a small camera. I had a great time with this camera on my trip to Disney World. Was able to tweak the ISO settings to take pictures w/o flash in very dim areas. ISO 3200 mode is quite fun to play with. You pay a price for the noise introduced in the pictures, but it's still a clear picture where you may not normally be able to take one. At normal ISO settings, the pictures are clear with vibrant colors. I wish the camera had more manual control, but for most purposes it's fine. When I need more control, I can use my Rebel XT. Suggest you buy at least a 2GB SD card. I also recommend the Lowepro Ridge 10 (Arctic Blue) as a small camera case.

Okay, first of all I must say I have been a PowerShot fan and user since my first Canon S200. That said there are still things which bother me about the Canon's, but not enough to go with another brand. This SD900 has a host of great features, but even though the list is long and looks fancy, they things which will probably never get used; such as color swap (fun, but silly and something that I can do in post editing), and most of the special color and scene modes, and slide show modes. And really who needs a 10MP snapshot, yes the resolution is great and makes for nice pics, but it means each photo takes up about 3 or 4 MB, for general use that's a waste of hard drive.
The biggest problem I have found with all previous PowerShots is the flash just isn't strong enough to illuminate much beyond a couple feet and with the flash off you run into blurry pics because the sensor is too small to capture enough light (Sony has a much better time at this from what I have seen). Anyway with the SD900 I was finally impressed with the throw of the flash! It is bright, strong, and, for it's size, powerful enough to illuminate a small room, much better than previous models.
The one thing I don't care for as much is the SD900's size. It's quite a bit larger and noticeably heavier than my previous SD300. The SD300 fit slimly in my pocket and I carried it everywhere and took allot of snapshots. The SD900 isn't nearly as compact as I would like. While it's an upgrade in quality and style, it's a downgrade in portability. Even the battery charger is larger than the old one, yet the battery is about the same size (different type though so they aren't interchangeable).

I am a proud owner of a Canon 20D. However, this is a larger camera and poses challenges for certain types of events or trips. I wished for an additional camera that I could slip into my purse or pocket. So, I invested in this Canon PowerShot SD900 for an upcoming trip to Paris. It is small, lightweight and yet feels solid. Its modern design makes picture taking easy. Little lag time between each picture taken. And, most importantly the picture quality is high quality. I highly recommend this camera.

I'm glad I spent a little extra for this one: its simple to use, set it on auto and just point and shoot, or play around with the different settings. Its small, easy to carry around in a shirt pocket. Its durable, my daughter has a Sony Cybershot DSCW70 that had the lens pop out when she dropped it on the carpet. It has a view finder, which some cameras do not have, but the screen seems to work well even in bright sunlight. The picture quality is great. With the 1G memory card that I purchased separately it stores hundreds of pictures. The battery holds a charge well. The 10 mega pixel is more than I wanted, but it may come in handy if I want to crop pictures. It takes good video clips, too.

Reviewed with the SanDisk extreme III 2.0 GB SD memory card (optional) installed.
Over twice as fast as the SD20 ultra compact. This camera embodies a range of features enabled by emerging computational technology.
I read the previous reviews before purchasing the SD900. Every problem discussed apparently was a problem with the user not reading the manual.
This camera can run in dark, silent mode (without LCD screen and without sounds providing feedback).
As is said, "perfection is undefined for complex adaptive systems". In problem domains that are complicated and constantly changing, perfection has no meaning: instead of perfection, seek improvement. Canon has with this camera.
THe features offered and the image quality are extraordinary. Assuming you want a light, low profile, reliable camera for capturing, in high quality, interesting images as they appear in your life.

To make this short...I had a Sony 3.1 MP camera. Great pictures outside in sunlight, lowsy pictures indoor and in low light (like a lot of digital cameras) Switched entirely back to film...yes, real film cameras (I'm sure this is a typical 1st time parent move these days). That was short-lived and for anyone else thinking about it...don't do it. Recently bought the SD900. WOW! This camera is great! Size and weight are excellent. Feels like a $400 camera, not cheap and flimsy. There is a face recognition feature that seems to automatically make adjustments so you dont wash out your subject. The owner's manual (it came with 4) is a little intimidating. Haven't read it all of the way through. The way I figure it, its 2007. If they can't make the camera easy enough to use without reading a manual...I'm taking it back. They put a man on the moon for crying out loud! (allegedly) Anyway, like any technology...accept that in 3 years there will always be something better available. For now the Canon SD900 is the best thing out there. Great product!

I have owned a couple of models before this one. The most recent was a Nikon Coolpix 5600. I have to say the Nikon was a nice camera. I was able to capture some really breath taking shots. I was completely lost when it got stolen from my truck. But the Canon SD900 is a complete cut above. However this is not your everyday point and shoot. It has a lot of settings and functions that may leave the average photo bug a little lost. I have to admit I myself find that I am going back to the manual quite a bit. But this is a labor of love to be completely honest. I can not wait till I know all the little magic things this camera is made to do. In auto it will pretty much prefect any picture you throw at it. Manual mode is a little trickier. I would have to say its best feature is its robust construction. It feels very solid and well put together in your hands. Above all the pictures I took of my 9 month old son ten minutes after I opened the box. Had me completely sold as a Canon fan for life. I can not wait to see what their SLR's have in store.

Having a Canon G3, I figured updating to the latest would be an improvement. I was wrong. The many, many controls on this camera are not intuitive...even though I've been using my G3 for 4 years. It's not as slim as I wanted either. The focus is all funky with multiple boxes popping up as opposed to the one in dead-center that I'm used to.

For everyone that is stuck between the SD800IS and SD900 - read this review. I was in the same position before buying the SD900 for my mom. I read a million reviews and still could not decide. I ended up going with the SD900 because I wanted the 10 megapixel and various features.(I play soccer and my mom loves using her new SD900 becuase she can take a picture where the ball is stopped in mid-air or can have the ball look like a white streaking line.) The SD800IS is more of a point-and-shoot camera. I recommend the SD800IS for people that just want default settings and shake when taking pictures. I also recommend going to the store and trying them both before purchasing it online. For future SD900 buyers, I was able to purchase the camera for the same price as the SD800IS on amazon.

I have used Canon Digital Cameras for years. First because they were compatible with Mac. But now because they are user-friendly and always result in excellent photographs. On top of that, the customer service I've received from Canon is amazing -- even after the warranty has expired. They are very helpful and nice. Now, that I have their latest camera, the amazing SD900, there's only one problem: when I pull it out to take pictures, people want to touch it and see it and play with it. In other words, they're so impressed with how the camera looks and how small and lite it is, I can't get it back to actually take pictures at the occasion.

I selected this model over 850IS after read many review and tried itmyself at local stores. The LCD resolution is great and brigther than 850IS's. I even took some pictures with 850IS in the store before made the decision. The flaw that I could not stand with 850IS is blurry images at all 4 corners due to its wide angle lens. It's obvious when I see the pictures on my laptop. With 900Ti, the image quality is superb compared to other models in its class. I own other Canon cameras as well e.g.10D and G2; and not disappoint to get this one because image quality is the most important to me. The camera also responsive pretty well.
