Subject: Re: Canon Sure Shot 890
I haven't used a 890 IS but I have
experience with the A570IS and A590IS. They both do well in my
opinion
I prefer the A series because they are powered by 2 AA cells
which I can get almost anywhere should I need them. I saw a couple
people with cameras that had rechargeable batteries miss getting shots of
their loved ones when my son returned from his tour in Afghanistan with the
10th Mountain because of a dead battery. I would have gladly given them
a couple AA cells but they couldn't use them.
dpreview.com rates the
590IS a bit better that the 890IS although I haven't read the reviews I just
looked at the stars....
That's my $0.02......
