Customer Review: A-
I recently bough this camera as an upgrade for my Canon A620. It is pretty much the same camera, except is has better specs and new features such as the image stabilizer. One of the selling points for me on this camera was the 6x optical zoom, which is a rarity in the point-and-shoot cameras. It is usually 3x. The only features that are present in my older Canon that I wish this one had is the Color Accent/Color Swap feature and I also wish there wasn't such a long delay between shots when using the flash.
Customer Review: OVER PRICED
I always research before I buy. Suggested retail price for this cam is $199.99 according to the Canon website.

Customer Review: Great camera for newbies
Having just gotten back into photography after a decades long absence I bought the XSi 4 months ago. It has been an excellent purchase. If you are new to dslr's I would recommend taking a class at your local junior college in how to use one. It helped me understand what one of these cameras can really do and has really improved my enjoyment using the camera. The pictures I've taken with the XSi have been amazing and the kit lens with the IS feature is top notch. Don't get swayed by all the hype you read online about dslr's and invest in one that costs thousands, the XSi is a great camera at a great price that will give you anything you want in picture quality.
Customer Review: Perfect replacement camera.
After having my original Rebel stolen, I replaced it with the Xsi. The shutter speed is super fast, the viewing screen is huge so you know right away if you got the shot, and the quality of indoor pics is fantastic. The battery charges quickly and lasts a long time. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. No complaints - the only thing I miss about my old Rebel is the memory card that was still in it.

Customer Review: amazing!
I previously owned a measly point and shoot camera, so upgrading to this camera was a huge jump for me. it took some time getting used to, but once I've learned was quite easy to use. i shoot manually without (much) trouble now.
The lens that came with this camera was pretty crappy (EF-S 18-55mm USM). You should definitely get a better lens for the full experience. I recently bought Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 for pretty cheap and it takes the most amazing pictures with this camera
Customer Review: Basic
Got this camera as gift and after 3 months this camera was not producing good pictures, most of the pictures are fade or like blurr.

Customer Review: Great little camera
I bought this camera after my larger SLR was stolen out of my car. I wanted something with image stabilization, lots of megapixels, and as much optical zoom as I could afford. This camera really has it all. I'm really impressed with the amount of zoom it's got for a camera of its size.
Customer Review: Canon Powershot SD8905 Digital Camer
The Canon PowerShot Sd89OIS is a very capable little digital camera. Its generous 10 megapixel resolution, combined with a sharp zoom lens provides excellent images and accurate colors. My only complaint is the tiny size of the power (on-off) button. Although I have small hands I have great difficulty accessing the button to turn on the camera. To help alleviate this problem I glued onto the button a rectangular piece of plastic to provide a raised surface, and it has proven to be of great help. However, there's no excuse why such an important button should be so inaccessable.

Customer Review: Lens adapter and hood
Works well with my Canon Powershot S5 IS. Though I did find a seller on the net who has the metal adapter alone for a much cheaper price so ended up getting two more adapters through that site to use with my filters and lenses. Its much quicker to change out the filters and lenses by having an adapter on all of them rather than screw on a different filter or lens on one adapter to change them out.

Customer Review: great little camera
Easy to use, great pictures. Wish it came with carry case to protect it though
Customer Review: Buy one!
We recently returned from a month long trip, my wife has a Canon A540 and I was using a Sony DSC700. There is no comparison in the quality of photo's between the two cameras...we both shot several hundred photo's...the Canon photo's won hands down! So I purchased a new Canon A580 and we both love it. Plus now the the SD cards can be used in either one...Sony uses a proprietary duo-card....Canons for us from here on out.
