The Canon Powershot SD900 Review (also known as Ixus 900) has shown this as the most impressive model in the Canon SD range to date. A combination of user functionality, ergonomic design and leading edge technology make the Powershot SD900 a digital compact camera to be admired.

Bottom line – Canon’s PowerShot SD900 is a welcomed addition to the very popular Digital ELPH line. With robust performance, awesome image quality, loads of user-friendly exposure modes, and a durable Titanium outer shell, the SD900 is sure to stand the test of time and be a very popular model this holiday season.

If you’re looking for a good, take-anywhere camera with great versatility and good color and tonality, the Canon SD900 deserves a close look.

The camera is user-friendly and offers excellent image quality. The only drawback is that experienced photographers may be frustrated by the camera’s lack of manual exposure.

Digital Camera Review (90)

The Canon SD900 is a compact, stylish shirt-pocket-sized camera that can produce high quality images in file sizes that lend themselves to big enlargements and/or cropping to achieve the desired result.

The Canon Digital IXUS 900 Ti narrowly misses out on that fifth star through the fact that there’s no on board image stabilisation, but other than that (and the high-ish premium you’re paying for that oh-so-sexy titanium finish) it’s pretty much the perfect general use point and shoot style camera; for now at least…

The Canon IXUS 900 Ti is an impressive digital camera. It has a very stylish design and with its titanium body the build quality is excellent. There are also 10 megapixels packed inside. Picture quality is up there with the very best for this type of camera and I would be more than happy to own one.

With the combination of all these features and a flair for photography, an amateur or enthusiast can definitely do great work. As far as the point-and-shoot enthusiasts are concerned, the camera won’t leave scope for complaints for sure. Me off to get me one.

The Canon PowerShot SD900 packs a lot of megapixels into a good-looking design. And while it produced good results, we prefer the 10-MP HP Photosmart R967 and the Casio Exilim EX-Z1000, both of which offer the same or better performance for less money.

The IXUS 900Ti certainly offers a refined overall performance and will prove more than satisfactory in normal domestic use for capturing images like family portraits. However, the fact that it has a 10MP CCD and broad ISO range doesn’t mean that it will produce high-quality images.

Digital Photography Review (79)

The SD900 comes as close as possible to a ‘Highly Recommended’ (and if exclusivity and pixel level image quality is more important to you than features or price it probably deserves one), but for us it misses by a whisker.

Even though this digital camera is relatively good, there are several better ultra-compact cameras in the same series. Looking only at capabilities, except in terms of resolution, the SD900 is the least capable of its siblings.

It easily stands out from the competition, whilst the blend of elegance and user-convenience ensures the Canon 900 Ti is without question a high-quality product.

Digital Photography Interface (77)

My final quibble on the SD900 is the lack of manual controls, a live histogram and optical image stabilization. The SD900 is a camera which I’d definitely recommend to those who want style, high resolution, great performance and simplicity, as long as you don’t mind using the tripod at lower shutter speeds.

CNET (76)

A very good compact camera, the 10-megapixel Canon PowerShot SD900 nonetheless falls short of its faster, more full-featured, albeit lower-resolution competitors.

Good Gear Guide (70)

While the IXUS 900 Ti is a fairly good compact camera, it suffers from some fringing and noise issues that mean it isn�t quite on par with some of Canon’s other units.

DPexpert (70)

This camera is recommended for buyers who crave style and the biggest numbers. Everyone else should consider the lovely Ixus 800is or 850is.

This is an above-average ultracompact, but Canon needs to give consumers more.
