Re: Ever "rediscover" a gem that still defies the odds?

My very surprising oldie but goodie is the sd990is. 1/1.7" "premium" sized CCD sensor. Tiny and light. Curved titanium body. Really nice pics and excellent colors/contrast for what it is (a thrift-store price camera). 15MP, 36-133mm f 2.8-5.6, full manual controls, RAW format if using CHDK (which I am). Last sd camera with an optical viewfinder, but it is so small it isn't really useful. Black bodied ones get scratched but I fortunately got a pretty well blemish free one.
