The explanation of the features in plain English:

The 10 megapixel CCD will help you to capture images in high detail; you can enlarge your photo up to poster size print. And the 5x optical zoom is the longest optical zoom that ever equipped in Pocket Digital Camera. Even it has the longest optical zoom but the automatic movement works smoothly although a little noisy. With its image stabilizer technology, it can reduce image blur because of hand held shots that taken at the long end of the zoom.

Canon has improved their Face Detection technology in the PowerShot SD890 IS. The technology has improved its ability to recognize faces in a scene even when there many faces. Because of the Face Select and Track mode it's allow the camera user to highlight one face among other in one scene. The improved Face Detection Technology also can concentrates upon faces when calculating white balance for the possible skin tones.

One of the canon ELPH style cameras that improved its ability to capture in low light environment because of its high ISO performance and image stabilization, you can say that this camera works well both indoors and outdoors.

Over all this gadget has an irresistible looks that you don't want to miss. Its appearance as sexy as playmate of the year J
