Summary
Despite the improvements on its predecessor, I can't help but feel that Canon dropped the ball a bit with the SD990, especially when price is factored in. Unless you simply can't live without an optical viewfinder or extensive manual controls, I see little reason to spend the extra bucks on the SD990. I'd go for the $270 PowerShot SD880--and put the savings into your vacation fund.
