Rated 4 out of 5
Refurb was in new condition
I was nervous about buying this Canon SD990 as a refurb, my fears were unfounded....you could not differentiate this unit from a "new" one. The savings paid for a class 6 8gb SDHC card and a leather Canon case....a few bucks left over to boot. Well done Adorama, I will be back. [...] 1 year warranty and great deal! Oh, the camera performs beautifully as well.

Great little camera
I'm no techie genius, but I was able to use this camera right out of the box without using the instructions. So far the battery life has been great and the photos look fantastic. Looking forward to getting more familiar with the settings.

About Canon Powershot Sd990 14.7 Megapixels Digital Elph Silver
The Canon PowerShot SD990 IS Compact Digital ELPH Camera features sleek, sculptured profile. It's the very first ELPH to offer you the contemporary cool of pure black - making the boldest camera contours seem even more dramatic. When classic style reflects your fashion sense, indulge in the satiny glow of silver tone. Both are the very image of photography at its best, featuring mega pixels of the highest resolution among Digital ELPH to capture every detail of the world around you.
There's never been a better time to think big, knowing that every enlargement will be sharper and more full-of-life than you've ever experienced before. The PowerShot SD990 IS Digital ELPH has 3.7x optical zoom. A zoom opens up a world of possibilities in your photography and thanks to innovative Canon engineering, it's housed in a camera that's sized to go everywhere with you. With many cameras, hand-held shots taken at the long end of the zoom can be marred by blur. The SD990 IS Digital ELPH incorporates Canon's exclusive Optical Image Stabilizer.
The technology detects and effectively cancels camera shake, for clear, sharp images every time. The PowerShot SD990 IS Digital ELPH gives you large 2.5-inch LCD screen for excellent control when framing your shots. Canon's PureColor LCD II offers spectacular color, resolution and contrast even when viewed at an angle. The screen is highly durable and easy to see in any light with a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coating. It also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light - a perfect feature for gathering friends and family around to see your images. Canon's proprietary DIGIC Image Processors have long set its cameras apart from the competition and the new DIGIC 4 sets the bar even higher. Faster, more accurate noise reduction delivers better image quality, even at high ISO speeds.
iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance. DIGIC 4 also makes possible the new i-Contrast (Intelligent Contrast Correction) system, which controls the compensation level in pixel units to brighten dark areas while leaving bright areas unchanged for better images where the main subject is dark and more natural transition. The PowerShot SD990 IS Digital ELPH can even use i-Contrast in playback mode to adjust images that were shot without the setting activated.
