The Canon SD line of cameras date back to the year 2003.
The present SD cameras is a product of evolution.
Each year the SD cameras have been updated and improved.
Their lenses have steadily improved and the megapixel size goes up each year.
As new camera technology has developed it is incorporated in the new models.
Todays SD camera is better than the earlier versions.
The SD890 and SD790 have just been announced and they are not in the stores yet.
So .... little is known about those cameras except what was released in Canon's Press Releases:

They appear to be new versions of the SD750 and SD850.
With more optical zoom and more megapixels.
These two cameras continue to have an optical viewfinder and a LCD display.
That is an advantage, with so many camera makers dropping the viewfinder altogether.
The SD line of cameras have been very popular and will continue to be popular.
I would expect the new SD models to produce sharp high quality images.

What to buy?

I am also interested in what everyone thinks about these cameras. I was all but set to buy the canon powershot sd1100 IS, and then they announced the three new cameras. So, I guess I am waiting.

They have EXPANDABILITY for lenses, they both also have hot shoe on them (external flash or similar device). With those two you are not limited for magnification that the two models you mentioned. That was my primary reason why I purchased the first digital camera I did. It had expandability on lenses, and had a hot shoe when most did not (and had a built in flash). That first camera shot over 10,000 pictures before I purchased my new one, much higher end, but if you add up the memory, batteries (camera only) lenses, and all others It overshoots what the new one cost.
The big consideration is what will you be using this camera for. Will it be an all purpose camera, or specific use camera. If you will be using it indoors make sure it can handle that level of lighting. Todays commonly used CFL's don't put out the level of light across the spectrum that traditional type A's did. Something you need to consider. Can you "manually" adjust the camera for light conditions or shutter speed when needed. (slower so more light gets in).
