Both have modes that give the photographer more control over camera settings than the SD1200 has; they still have the same "full automation" of the SD1200, but they'll also let you select shutter speed and aperture when you want to. And if she wants to learn, the extra control will be a real bonus. Jon

I would like to stick with the SD series as she has expressed a preference for smaller cameras. I also don't want to overwhelm her right off the bat, as she seems to enjoy taking photos with her Casio. What do you think about the SD 890IS? She has a good eye and if her interest grows I would like to get her a Rebel down the road, but first things first.

The weight difference between the A590 and the SD890 is less than an ounce; the A590's not a lot bigger overall than the SD890 either; it's just the lens barrel that makes it somewhat deeper. But if you set them in "Green Box", they'll all function the same. Jon

JustShootin' Senior Member  820 posts Joined Jan 2007 Location: South Florida More info | My wife got one of these a week ago. Haven't done any real testing, but have seen some nice shots from it, mostly from "P" mode and low ISO. But then I guess they all take nice shots with that setting. Still, I think it's probably a good camera. I think being "blue" probably ups the IQ a bit! Gary
