Canon-PowerShot-SD890-ISCanon SD890 IS, with its thick 2.3-by-3.8-by-1.1-inch body, the 6.5-ounce camera can slide somewhat comfortably into a loose pants pocket. The SD890 IS sports a much curvier design than its predecessor, including a gently sloping front where you grip the camera. With all this change in the design, this new model of Canon camera generally disappoints in terms of features.

The good: Optical image stabilization. Optical viewfinder. Produces decent photos.

The bad: Poor shot-to-shot performance. Small LCD screen. A bit awkward design. No optical zoom in movie capture.

The bottom line: A solid compact snapshooter, the Canon PowerShot SD890 IS nevertheless disappoints when compared with its predecessors and line-mates.

Price: Starting at $399.99.
