5 Stars DOES work in my SD1200IS… like a charm!
I was not going to write a product review for this, but after stumbling upon the negative reviews I figured I might as well add something. I purchased the “Maximal Power DB CAN NB-6L Replacement Battery for Canon Digital Cameras/Camcorders” in July of 2009 for my Canon SD1200IS. I have not experienced any problem whatsoever with this battery. My battery looks exactly like the amazon (not the user) picture shown: white wrapper, gray battery. It slides in and out of the camera like the original battery. The wrapper is not as tightly wrapped and glued around the battery as I would like, though it is no worse than the original Canon one in that respect. Or in any respect, for that matter: I cannot tell any difference between batteries. I seem to get the same amount of pictures/time out of a charge. Admittedly, I didn’t run any specific tests to prove this, so all I can say is that, if there are any performance differences, they are unnoticeable, even to a critical user like me. The camera itself doesn’t seem to ‘care’ it’s a non-Canon battery at all. Great back up, especially for the price!

5 Stars Works fine
The battery seems to be an excellent backup for the Canon product. It fits fine in the camera (the Canon 1200) and the charger; other reviews said they had difficulty with the non-Canon product being the wrong size, but I didn’t have that problem. Good price and it came fast. (I’ve seen replacement batteries in stores for $29!)

5 Stars the right item delivered on time
So far it works well together with my Canon IS1300 camera, a good deal for the backup battery.

5 Stars Solid
I was impressed by the price when I made the purchase, and the recharge rate after I’d made the purchase. If only my Canon D10 underwater camera had worked as well as this battery

4 Stars A bit too large at first, but easily fixed
Like many other reviewers stated, this battery seemed a bit too large to fit into the battery compartments of both my Canon S90 and D10. I would really have to wiggle it quite a bit to fit completely in, and then had a hell of a time getting the battery out because it fit so snugly. I figured out that the plastic label that wraps around the battery wasn’t quite stuck on completely, so I really pushed down on the label going all the way around to get it to stick flat on the actual battery. No problems since then- slides in and out of both camera compartments just like the original Canon battery that came with the cameras. Great value for the price as a spare back-up.

Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12 1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2 5 inch LCD Deep Red

It may be Canon’s slimmest Digital ELPH, but it’s selection of photo-friendly options is undeniably wide. From full HD movie capture to peak performance in even the most unforgiving shooting conditions, this digital camera is on the cutting edge of point-and-shoot picture taking. One-year warranty. Model SD780IS.

5 Stars Canon Camera
This camera is an amazing value for the money. Takes great pictures, easy to use, long battery life and easy to charge. Only caution is that the camera does not come with a memory card.

2 Stars Great camera, horrible company
This is a really great camera, but it is a really bad company. Canon is the worst company when it comes to getting anything repaired. When I got this camera, I noticed it had a dead pixel on the LCD. I sent it in to Canon, they sent it back not only with the dead pixel unrepaired, but they left dust between the protective screen film cover and the LCD. As a result I sent it to them a second time. When I got it back the second time, they did not fix either problem and they broke something inside the camera so a red spot kept appearing on the LCD when trying to take a picture or shoot video… I sent it in a third last week telling them to fix the problems they caused and to replace the LCD.

It returned today, they fixed the two problems they caused, but I still have the dead pixel.

The bottom line is Canon is a horrible company when it comes to repair service, if you get a defective LCD like I did, you are going to have to deal with it, because they will lie to you about trying to repair and do nothing.

Either Canon lacks integrity or their repair people are incompetent or both (probably both) and thus I have to poorly review their product, because if something else goes defective, I have no guaranteed they will be able to fix it.

5 Stars Best camera to date!
In September of 09 I purchased this camera for my son, from Amazon.com, for $225.20, with an extra battery, and free shipping & handling. I knew it was a good buy, so I ordered one for myself. I still use my older Canon cameras but this one has a sharper image and if you take snaps while driving…they couldn’t be any sharper. Note: the size is just a little slimmer than older models. My orders were for the Gold…what a buy. Thank you Amazon!

4 Stars Good pocket camera with viewfinder
I purchased this model because it was the only pocket camera I could find with an optical viewfinder. It has surpassed my expectations. See the two attached pictures. I wish the film strips could be generated in AVI files, but I can live with the MOV filetype.

5 Stars Great little camera
I had a 6 year old camera (also Canon) that I recently gave to my dad who seemed interested in taking digital pictures and I started looking for a new digital camera.

SD780IS was recommended highly and the selling point for me was the availability of a view finder as it is very hard to see what you are aiming at in bright daylight without a viewfinder.

I already have countless pictures in different environments from hot hazy days on the sea to some flowers I have that bloom only once a year (and only for a day) in all occasions the results turned out great. Clarity, picture quality it is all there.

The size of the camera is perfect, I have a red one I love its color and using it (charging the battery or downloading the pics) is so easy.

I must mention that for this price it is the best deal.

5 Stars Fabulous camera for Senior Citizen
I have a couple of digital cameras but my 78 yr old husband needed a camera with a viewfinder that was easy to operate and would generate clear pictures despite his hands being unsteady most of the time. This camera does it all! This camera is almost perfect in every way ! The only feature that we both are a bit disappointed in is the on/off button is small and level with the camera body,so it a bit hard to use. We would have preferred if the button has been raised a bit or even had a left to right on/off instead of an up/down button.I realize the goal was to keep the camera’s body small so button size was compromised to have room for everything.

We have never been so impressed with a camera’s ease of operation while giving you so many shooting options. I printed the full manual from the Canon USA website (136 pages) and gave it to my husband to read and learn before his 60th high school reunion in late Aug. He pretty well has mastered the camera overnight. The pictures are so clear, the color balanced and we have absolutely nothing to complain about regarding picture quality.

Clearly we are not advance photographers so don’t expect an in depth technical review. This is just a great point and shoot camera and it’s no wonder it gets such high marks on all camera web sites. Everyone loves this camera because it’s so easy to operate and produces great pictures. We love it too !!

2 Stars Too bad… A great little camera that takes awful pictures.
How disappointing! I currently own a Canon Powershot sd800is and I love it. Perfect pics & videos, excellent battery life, durable, no issues whatsoever. When my daughter saved her money up for a digital camera I really didn’t look much farther than Canon because I wanted her to have a great camera. Since the sd800is is no longer available we picked the updated version, the sd1200is, which has more mega-pixels and zoom than my old one.

When it arrived, we charged the battery and began taking indoor pictures. They were very blurry and they had a yellowish-orange glow. (We even had one that showed a blue & green orb floating by my staircase. STRANGE!) I tried adjusting the settings to fix the issues, but nothing worked. I’m not a camera expert, but I understand what most of the features and menu itmes do. I have used them on my sd800is with much success. I had my husband and his brother (both are smart techy guys) work with the camera. Still, we could not get it to take clear pictures. When I tried to take pics outside they came out virtually white, completely overexposed. My daughter tried taking some pics and did have success, but only if she took them in pitch darkness with the flash on. They were clear and sharp with good color. They looked like they had been taken with my old camera. But, how practical is a camera that only works in the dark???

I called Canon support and they took me through the same steps I had already tried, finally suggesting that I ship it in for service. They were very friendly, helpful, and professional, but they couldn’t replace the product, only service mine and return it to me in about 3 weeks.

After considering my 30 day return window with Amazon, I decided by the time I would get it back from Canon, if I wasn’t satisfied, I wouldn’t be able to return it. So I declined the Canon service and simply returned it to Amazon, which was also a very simple and painless process.

We ended up spending less than half as much on a Polaroid t1031. It doesn’t have all the cool features the Canon has (no video either), but it does have image stabilization, a rechargeable battery, and the greatest part… it takes good pictures! And she has some money left in her pocket so that’s a good thing as well.

I won’t say, “Don’t buy a Canon” because I love my old one and the features and customer service are great. I will say, “Don’t be afraid to return it.” Most of the reviews are great, but sometimes you get a lemon like I did. I chose not to make lemonade, I sent it back and got some pretty delicious orange soda. YUM!!!

5 Stars Great: But early to tell
The camera arrived quickly but does not come with a memory card so we couldn’t us it until we figured out which memory card we needed…this was another $30. Camera seems to work fine although we haven’t used it enough to judge the battery life. Overall, quite happy with the camera and it came highly recommended from a friend so we expect to enjoy it as much as she has…

5 Stars Wonderful
I love this camera ,I’ve been looking for a small digetal with a view window for some time ,almost all of the newer cameras come with out and you can’t see on a sunny day what your taking. Easy to use . I had to download the instruction DVD booklet ,136 pages for all of it uses so i wish it had come with it in booklet form other than that it’s a great camera and a great price.

5 Stars A huge improvement
This Canon SD1200 was purchased as replacement for my old Olympus Styus 300. It has triple the megapixels, a much larger screen, and no longer has that long irritating delay between pushing the button and getting the shot. Also, it’s only about half as thick and fits a pocket even more easily. I got mine in the fun orange color.

I’m just an amateur, but the ease of use and picture quality are vastly improved. And now that the SD1300′s are out, perfectly good 1200′s can be found at bargain prices. I recommend it.

5 Stars Great deal, works just like Canon!
This is a great battery. After 2 full uses of both this one and the original Canon battery that came with my camera, they both seem to last the same and it works great. Plus it’s a fraction of the cost of a Canon. Great deal!

5 Stars Use this battery for Canon SD780 IS Pocket Camera
Seems to be a good replacement for the lithium battery used by the Canon SD780 IS pocket camera. I bought two of them that I keep charged as extra spares for the OEM Canon battery that came with the camera. I never run out of electrical juice, and use the camera freely, knowing I have spare backup batteries to keep the camera going. A small investment for assurance that the camera will work when I want it and need it.

4 Stars good for the price
I did the following test:

(1) charged the new battery to full capacity;

(2) used it in a Powershot SD750 to capture video, depleting the battery completely;

(3) charged to full capacity again;

(4) now captured video again: This 900mAh battery lasts about 75% as long as my genuine Canon battery (760mAh), and doesn’t last as long as the 760mAh battery from Lenmar.

Conclusion: considering the price difference, it is a great bargain and perfect as a backup battery.

Caveats: (1) the OEM’s battery life may deteriorate much faster and may not last as many cycles as the genuine batteries. I can only find out in the future.

(2) I am not sure it is as safe. but there is no way to find out.

(3) I tested only one sample. Performance may vary across batteries (particularly for OEM ones)

1 Star Pay Attention to the One Star Reviews: very short battery life
I bought this with my SD960IS to give me a “charger” while I had one battery in the camera. I read the reviews of some saying it was as good as the Canon and others saying it wouldn’t hold a charge. I love a bargain so I took the gamble. Even at less than $10, this item is NOT worth it. My Canon battery charged and worked for several days. At the end I was zooming in and out and playing video trying to get the battery to die so I could try this battery. The Canon lasted long after the battery warning came on. This battery charged for those several days, but after a few photos started to flash low battery warnings. I never even got the chance to try video on it. If you’re at an event, this would give you about 45minutes of life. No problem if you are at home and have your second battery charging- it will get you through the gap. But if you’re away from a charging place, say out and about on vacation, this battery does not fill the bill. I’m really disappointed and wished I had put the money towards a Canon battery equal to the one that came with the camera.

5 Stars good generic battery
good backup battery or replacement and very cheap compared to the original, thats why it a generic version but very good product

5 Stars Great product, quick delivery, all that I expected!
Great device to record. I use it for recording song ideas when I’m on the road and have no paper around. Also used it for lectures in class. Love how easy it is to load onto computer and iPod.

4 Stars Frequency Response concerned
My wife needs to playback right after her class. VN-6200PC’s all features are excellent as I read from reviews excepts the frequency response. The low end of frequency response for all modes is 200 Hz (C3 note is 220 Hz; C4 note is 440 Hz as reference). I could tell it is not enough for my regular male tone. But works very well for my wife’s voice. I found Olympus’ other digital voice recorders have different frequency response with the same recording modes. For example, WS-400S is 50 Hz instead. Now the VN-6200PC meets all my wife’s needs. But next time, I will consider other with better frequency response.

4 Stars Devin Strong
This is my first digital recorder. It’s a good price and very easy to use.

4 Stars Works exceptionally well…
Really useful recording device. Size is perfect for discrete use, and audio quality is wonderful. Only small issue is it’s so fully featured that the features get in the way of easy use.

Overall I’m exceptionally pleased with this device.

4 Stars Recorder for everyday
Works well for conference recordings…picks up everyone speaking. In public place, like bus, picks up background noice but can work well if placed closed to one’s mouth.

5 Stars Our Canon camera purchased via Amazon
As long-time Amazon customers,we are accustomed to receiving our orders quickly, but in this case,there was an unusually long delay, especially considering the fact that it was advertised as being “in stock”.

Also, we had expected to receive a memory card with it, however we evidently failed to follow Amazon’s ordering procedure properly, so perhaps it was a case of not following the rules “fine-print?

On the plus side, the camera is a remarkable product, and contrary to various negative customer reviews, ours functions perfectly, and we are pleased with it.

Thank you,

Bill and Joan Hannan

5 Stars Good deal
I bought this camera because of the size. My camera that I have been using for several years is much larger and not convenient to carry to the beach. This camera is very small and easy to carry and has all the features of my larger one. I am very pleased with the performance so far.

3 Stars Great Point & Shoot with Issues
I bought this when my Sony Cybershot died. After weeks of researching, I decided on this camera. It seemed you can’t beat it for the price. I’m an amateur photographer and my main camera is a Canon Rebel Xti DSLR. I wanted a camera to put in my pocket when I don’t feel like lugging around my DSLR. Here’s the good and the bad of this camera, I’ve had for a few months now…

Pros:

-Great, amazing, crisp Macro shots! This camera rivals my DSLR for Macro quality, beads of water on plants, flowers, food, etc. anything close up and this camera shines.

-Outdoors this camera takes great landscape photos. Even at night, given you use a tripod this camera has great infinity detail.

-Compact and slim enough to fit in jeans pocket.

-Battery life, as with all Canons, is amazing. I’ll use it for almost a week straight without needing a charge.

-LCD is great, very vibrant, too vibrant I think, pics aren’t as contrasted as it makes them look, but great nonetheless.

Cons:

-Flash is really harsh! So bad to where it’s almost unusable indoors at night. My last camera had an option to adjust the flast either + or – one setting to adjust it’s strenghth and I almost always left in on the minus (-) setting. If this camera had that, I’d give it 4 stars. It’s so harsh that I’m considering a Gary Fong diffuser for it and permanently attaching it to it. It just blows out subjects, especially in Macro, forget about it.

-Zoom is glitchy. The zoom constantly isn’t smooth. It’ll catch as I zoom in or out periodically and stall as I hold down the zoom switch.

-It’s very slippery. This camera has a very smooth finish and makes it easy to slip out of your hands. There’s nothing to grip ontom it’s all one smooth surface.

Conclusion: This is a great camera for outdoors and macro shots, but indoors suffers, as most point and shoot cameras do, with a harsh flash. I’d look for a camera with an adjustable flash level because all digital camera’s flashes by default are too bright and harsh for indoors. For $150 though, you can’t ask for too much from this little camera…

5 Stars Got what i expected!
This is the 4th Canon Powershot I have owned and I love this one the best. The camera has a great feature that autofocuses and takes quick photos–something I find really important with moving targets like children. Kids move and change expressions very quickly so the continuous autofocus button (which some could find annoying)I find does the trick! And its ability to remove red eye is better than the older versions I have owned. The only thing I am hoping is that the lens error message and lens getting stuck doesnt happen with this one. But because I already knew the features and have the charger it was a good investment. And the orange color makes it unique and easy to keep track of in a room full of cameras.

4 Stars Perfect for a Basic Point & shoot camera
I love this camera…This is my first time to buy a canon product. And I’m loving it.. THough I am still learning how to use the special features of the camera for a certain occassion..I love the portability..But there’s some negative about this camera.I got 2 kids thats always on the move & I want to take their pictures when they’re having fun playing w/o noticing me taking those shots, even if I use the kids & pet mode but w/o flash, the pictures were blurry, really blurry…So I have to use the flash even we’re in indoor location..Most of the times I used flash because pictures were blurry unless you used a tripod..On the other hand, the MACRO mode is great. I love that the background is blurry but the main subject is very clear & crisp..Moreover, the video is really really great.. No unneccessary noise in the background, video is in HD. Love it..

All in all, this camera is perfect for just point & shoot, an all day handy, ready to go everyday camera…Don’t keep turning it on just to look at the pictures on the screen, it will drain the battery fast. And makes the camera hot..And I am still in the process of exploring how to use this caera efficiently & how to take great great great pictures of my kids..

5 Stars a dependable easy to use camera
My wife and I have been using this camera for about three months now. We have used it outdoors and indoors on still subjects and those in motion. It has performed flawlessly. By using the different modes such as indoor,kids and pets, etc. you can take great perfectly exposed pictures. For example, by using the indoor mode, we rarely use the flash, and the pictures turn out much brighter than if we had. I believe this prolongs battery life as well as avoids the slight delay after the flash is used. Ths controls are easy to use and understand. Yes, it is not the slimmest lightest camera made, but those chracteristics are not important to us. Features such as the incredible optical zoom, face recognition,the use of AA batteries and others are what is important to us and what led us to buy this camera instead of others that are currently on the market.

4 Stars Miss the viewfinder; like the screen size
I bought this to replace a Powershot A720 IS. This is a little heavier but the big screen is nice. However, not having a viewfinder is a problem at times in terrifically bright sunshine. As always, I resent having to go online for manuals–the A720 complete manual was included and thus could be easily carried with me if I needed a reference. No longer is this done.

5 Stars Digital Camera
This is our first digital camera. It came quickly and in perfect condition. I am still learning how to use it, but my photojournalist daughter pronounced it “a really terrific little camera.”

4 Stars Very Good, but needs a viewfinder.
This camera is a good value. It is light and compact, takes great pictures and videos, and is easy to operate. If it had a viewfinder, it would be great. But, having to use the 3″ LCD display as a viewfinder is very awkward when using it in sunlight. In sunlight it can be almost impossible to see anything on the LCD display. I like the camera, but this is a major drawback.

3 Stars good camera… for the money
I have only tried this 1 day so I am taking it back and trying a different one. I already had the s5is and loved it but I thought having a smaller camera was what I wanted. It just doesn’t take as good a picture and it is slow. I want a good zoom smaller body and a NMHi battery. The sony w150 I have takes better clearer pictures at dusk and mid afternoon. and the canon S5is takes better in the daylight and indoors.The sx120is is a good camera if you only want one camera and want it kinda small and I do like the lens cover better than a cap. also you can see the screen ok in the sun but the color is not really correct. It maybe true that cameras should not go above 8mp as well because I have had better luck with clarity on the 8mp and lower cameras.
