I had this camera for neary 2 years and it lense got stuck. As it is out of warrnaty, it will cost me about $150 to fix it.
A collegue of mine also had similar problem with his cannon.


Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5 Older model has viewfinder and 5x zoom, 2010-07-26
Its hard to find a good point-n-shoot these days that still has a viewfinder. I couldn't find a current Canon model that I liked for under $300, so I bought this refurnished older model. It a bit heavier, but I love the 5x zoom and all the manual options.

I prefer Canon cameras because of the quick response time and the high quality lens.

Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5 Do not buy this camera, 2010-07-16
In April 2008, I purchased an SD890IS from Amazon for my wife because she prefers a camera with a viewfinder for bright shooting situations when it's difficult to view the LCD screen image. She quickly learned to use the camera's features and the photo quality was excellent. In September 2009, the lens locked in extended position and there was a grinding noise when trying to retract it. A local camera shop recommended that due to the cost of repair, it would be wiser to replace the camera. We didn't contact Amazon because we'd owned the camera 1 1/2 years.
We thought the breakdown was a fluke. Since my wife liked the camera, we decided to order another SD80IS in October 2009. In January 2010, the camera started making the same grinding noise as the preceding one and the lens malfunctioned. At that time we were in Arizona and did not return home until April 2010. Upon returning home, we returned both cameras to Amazon with a detailed explanation. They simply returned both cameras to us. Obviously customer satisfaction is not a priority to them.
Coincidentally, while we were in Arizona, a friend went to China with her new Canon PowerShot, a different model than my wife's. On her first day there, her camera started making grinding noises and the lens stuck in the open position.
We now own approximately $600 worth of broken cameras which are going into the garbage. There's nothing like throwing away money!
If you are thinking about buying this or any PowerShot, I suggest you read all the one and two star reviews and check out reviews and comments about this product on other web sites.
If this review stops one person from buying this camera, it has done its job.

Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5 Defective camera, 2010-07-04
This review is not about the Canon camera, rather it concerns one of Amazon's suppliers.

I purchased this camera from one of Amazon's suppliers, an individual selling a used product. The only deficiency noted about the camera by the seller was "missing the lens cover". Upon reciept of the camera I found the camera to be dirty and scratched, giving the appearance of much misuse. Additionally, there was no battery or battery charger supplied with the camera. After obtaining a battery on my own, I took some pictures, only to find that the pictures were out of focus.

Repeated attempts were made through Amazon to get the supplier to allow return of the camera and my money refunded, only to be denied.

This experience has left me dissappointed with Amazon although their supplier had gotten good ratings in the past.

I am attempting other means to rectify this situation. At this time I'm still a disallusioned Amazon customer.

This camera broke just after the year warrenty expired.
I bought this specific camera because it had a viewfinder to help on sunny days. The viewfinder was not aligned properly so if you used it to take a picture you got half a face instead of the face you had centered in the view finder window.
Also after our second vacation with the camera it stopped working in the car due to a lens error. The camera will not close and is now a brick.
I can't get any help from Cannon on the issue.

I feel that the cost spend for this camera could be better spent on another product with either better customer support or a better design that would not break as easily.

We were not abusive to this camera.

I did like the features on this camera and the quick response time. I thought the battery life was a huge improvement over our old digital camera. I also liked the size. But due to the flaws in view finder and how quickly it broke for no apparent reason I would not recommend. We still take our old camera on the same vacations and it is still kicking while this new more expensive model is toast.

Also the color quality left something to be desired - blown out whites.

It was good in low light conditions - for restraunt parties etc.
