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.

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.

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 Awesome Camera
I first bought the Olympus waterproof camera and I was disappointed with the picture quality. I didn’t know Cannon had a waterproof/shockproof/freezproof camera as well! I’ve had it for about 3 weeks and I couldnt be happier! It takes great underwater shots in the pool and still is a great point and shoot. I used it bar hopping with the friends, taking pictures at the pool, and going fishing up in the Sierra’s. I couldnt be happier. It was even dropped by a friend while bar hopping from about 5 ft and nothing happened to the camera’s functioning.

The only thing they could add is high def video, since most camera’s come with it now a days.

4 Stars Good Product but has some issues – can’t be your only camera
The Canon D10 malfunctioned once with the error message of “Lens Error”. We read some reviews online that had the same problem. Some of the reviewers returned the product while others just waited for the error to disappear. Since this is not our only camera, we just waited till the next day. We removed the battery overnight. The next day we replaced the battery and it worked. We have not gotten that error message again but we rarely use it. I hope it works when we need it to take that breath-taking picture

4 Stars Does the Job
i don’t know what the problem is? i had purchased this camera for a huge family vacation at the Bahamas. I read the reviews and the problems that might occur, (water seeping into camera etc) i did research and came to the conclusion that this was the best camera for price. After reading reviews regarding warrenty etc, i made sure i followed instructions carefully and made sure ALL CLOSURES were closed (battery flap etc)

turned out to be an excellent camera and would recommend it. Made the vacation snorkeling and swimming that much better!

5 Stars Surprising quality!
I bought the Canon PowerShot D10 this past winter, for a Caribbean vacation. I didn’t have time to read the manual, but the back-panel controls were very intuitive and easy to figure out. It worked SO WELL in the water! I took it with me in the surf, in the pool, on a snorkeling trip, and the pictures all turned out wonderfully. Once I finally had time to read the manual I realized that it offers more adjustments than I’d realized – and, after playing around with it a bit, I’ve found it can adapt to just about any shooting situation. My “real” camera is a Nikon D80 digital SLR … but, on my next vacation, the PowerShot is coming along instead – it’s much more portable, offers just as many megapixels, and I won’t need to worry about using it in the rain.

4 Stars Water leaked in above 33 feet – but Canon handled it well
Hello!

I anxiously awaited this camera because I had previously had a leaky waterproof Olympus camera. I had previous been very loyal to Canon and Nikon, and I regretted going to Olympus and having trouble. So was quite excited that Canon was getting into waterproof cameras.

The camera is great – great images, easy to use, great video, etc. But water leaked in rather quickly and at about 8 feet in a pool and then later in the ocean.

Each time it leaked, the LCD display would go off and there was water in the lens area. I was able to leave it alone for a few days each time and it would “repair itself” as it dried out. But this last time (the third time) it refused to turn on any longer. So I begrudgingly sent it in.

It’s been about ten days now and I got my camera back today – a new one! I think it may be slightly updated as well. I’m very excited to have it back; it has come with perfect timing.

So yes, I do actually recommend this camera (despite the leaks) because Canon handled it well and it really is a great item.

4 Stars Great product
I previously had a Canon digital camera. I really like the small size of the camera. It takes quality pictures and the functions are easy to use. I would recommend to family and friends.

5 Stars best camera i’ve had yet
camera is really small and compact, the 3x zoom isn’t impressive but it’s only for taking pictures with your friends. The HD video is good! 720p, the microphone isn’t as great as others though, I suggest getting a Flip if your looking for recording video.

Features?

not too many…

my aunt has a sony cybershot and it’s loaded with features,

BUT, i believe canon has way better picture quality,

there is almost no shutter lag but focusing it may take a second

that’s all for now.

4 Stars Great Camera
This is my first digital camera. It was necessary for me to read the basic part of the instructions to operate it, but it was easy to learn. It’s lightweight and fun to use.

5 Stars Truly outstanding
When our Nikon Coolpix died, we were left with a lot of usable accessories, etc. But I compared all the reviews and this Canon stood out, so I bought it instead of another Coolpix. From the first picture taken in a dimly lit kitchen to pictures taken from a slow-moving bus to pictures of two dogs walking down a wooded path, I have been amazed and pleased. The camera is super-quick to focus and very quick to take a picture. The stabilizing feature, the ability to capture movement (in auto mode), the adaptation to any lighting condition and any focus challenge all amaze me. The ease of use and image quality makes me want to pull the camera out at every opportunity–it’s not just handy, it’s good! For about $50 more than my defunct Nikon, I have a far better camera that takes pictures as good as my much bigger ultra-zoom.

I did not buy it for the video, but I enjoyed filming dolphins sporting in the Atlantic from my motel room balcony and then editing the video right in the camera to cut out the frames of empty ocean–the sound was surprisingly clear, too.

I am now actually grateful that my wife took the old Coolpix sea kayaking (though it might have been moribund anyway). And I am glad I did not follow my leftover Nikon accessories to the purchase of another so-so camera.

1 Star Lousy Picture Quaity
I’m in a real minority here, and even though the camera is great in most all respects, the thing the camera is for – taking pictures – the camera I received produced terrible quality pictures. They were blurry appeared out of focus and were not usable. Nothing I could do seemed to be able to fix it, so now the camera is back at Amazon and I will get a refund shortly, I hope. This would have been my third Canon SD Power Shot camera and the others have been great, but are old and becoming limited. This could be a quality control problem, or poor handling between wherever and here, and concerns only the unit I got. So my question is – should I try the same model again or move on elsewhere. Anyone have any advice?

4 Stars Good Compact Size / Great Picture Quality
I am very pleased with the Cannon Powershot camera. I got it just a few days before my trip and was very pleased with the pictures I was able to take.

Its compact design made it easy to carry it all times. I used exclusively the ‘Auto’ mode as I had not had time to look into the more advanced features.

I do not think the use of these options is that intuitive. Still, the quality of the pictures was very good.

This camera does not have a printed manual; instead it comes with a DVD that contains the user guide. I wish at least a basic guide of the different programs/features were included to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the different camera functions.

5 Stars A Great Camera
I have been taking pictures with this camera ever since I got it to get a “feel” for it. I really can’t come up with something negative to say about it! I took motion pictures at a baseball game; shots inside and outside, and all came out very well. I love the size as it is easy to carry in my purse. The instructions that came with it were very clear. I have had several Canon cameras and they do not disappoint me.

5 Stars Best camera i’ve owned so far
I was just looking for a basic digital camera to take pictures with and am by no means a photo or camera buff. But for me using the Canon is fairly straightforward and I just leave it on the auto setting and am very pleased with the quality of the pictures. They are the best pictures i’ve seen with an entry level digital camera and I particularly enjoy the vivid details of the fairly large LCD screen that makes reviewing pictures much easier and pleasurable than i’m accustomed to. I was amazed at how small and thin it was; i mean length and height it is only a little bigger than a credit card (much wider, of course) but it also has a solid build to it. I could fit this easily into any pocket, even in my jeans. I’m glad i got this in time for my trip. Highly recommend this camera.

5 Stars Conventient and smart little camera!
My Dad bought me this camera recently. I am a fifth grade teacher and the size is perfect to have for class trip and activites. I’m not a professional photographer, so the fact that it is so user-friendly is wonderful. The quality of the pictures is better than any point and shoot camera I’ve ever had. I bought a 4G card, and I have never come close to filling it up with pictures and video. My ideal camera is one that is easy to use, doesn’t take up much space, and takes great photos quickly. This is the perfect camera for me!

1 Star 1 Star is for the 1 hundred plus dollars you will lose on this item
I recently purchased this item and now it is so messed up that I have to sell it to a recycling site for a fraction of the price I paid

The reason for this is because the thing is cheaply painted. I took this camera to Prom and had it in a padded pouch in my tux pocket when I wasn’t using it except for once when I dropped it, but it was still in the padded pouch. When I got home I discovered that it had at least four places where the paint had been chipped off the camera. Why? I had no idea until I held it in my hand and realized that even touching it some paint was coming off! This would not have been so bad if it was the only problem with the camera, but it isn’t.

Other things wrong with this camera:

The Iso: As one reviewer pointed out, the Iso on the default setting of this thing is very high. That is an understatement. the Iso is through the roof! the only way to take decent photos with this thing inside and out, is to go to programming mode and set the Iso differently for every different situation you are in. Not very convenient.

The shooting speed: When taking a picture, it takes almost two seconds to process and display the picture you are taking. that is very slow compared to some cameras half the price of this one. it also becomes a huge problem when you are taking pictures of a fast moving object, like an animal or car.

Blur: Any time you take a picture of someone with this camera, you have to have your subject completely still! any sudden movements will cause a blur that will ruin the whole shot. For instance, when I took a picture of one of my friends dancing, the image was completely blurred!

Rotating a picture: Canon is well known for allowing the user to rotate a picture by rotating the camera. On this model, when you rotate the camera, the picture either doesn’t rotate or it rotates very late.

Menus: The menus are very confusing. For instance, when I was looking for the Iso setting in the programing mode, I actually had to do alot of guess work before I found it. Even then the function was not named “Iso Setting” but something different. I can understand needing to read most of the instructions for a more advanced camera. but this is supposed to be a simple Point and Shoot. you should be able figure out at least the basic functions without them.

Zoom: When you zoom in on your subject you are very limited on the distance you can zoom in. You either have very wide view, midrange view, or very close view. there is almost no in between. the same goes for when you are browsing pictures in playback mode.

I hate to be so negative, but these are my true experiences with camera and I want to warn other buyers before they throw away almost $200 on this product. I have heard many good things about Canon’s quality, but bottom line is this camera does not contain any of it. hope you find this review helpful. As for me, I am about to go buy a Nikon Coolpix S3000. hopefully will have better luck with it.

5 Stars Super little camera
I love this camera! I’m a REALTOR and use the wide angle to capture views of properties and yards. Wonderful and compact.

I would recommend to anyone looking for a point and shoot camera with no fussing.

4 Stars It’s Canon…it’s good!
Bought this Canon because…well, because I like Canon products. My other Canon Digial Elph was taken on my last trip to the UK. This one will be used for the same purpose this summer. The photos are exceptional….and it is very easy to use.

5 Stars The best camera to have…
…is one you’ll have with you. The nice thing about the Canon ELPH series is they easily fit into your pocket, are well built/designed, don’t cost a lot, come with a boatload of features, and take great pictures. The SD1300, the latest in the ELPH line continues in that tradition, adding considerable additional sophistication and sacrificing some useful functionality in the interest of cutting cost.

It is a small camera and carries with it the baggage that comes with the convenience of having to carry so little baggage. (sorry, couldn’t resist) None of the issues raised, given that they comes as part of the convenience trade-off made me consider anything other than the 5-star rating this camera deserves.

- Many of the functions are only accessible through menus, sometimes several levels deep. The good new is the Automatic and scene modes are pretty good (as long as you spend a few minutes reviewing what they really do). This camera is not intended to be used in aperture or shutter priority, let alone full manual.

- The battery life might be shorter than you expect. That’s a trade-off for having a camera that’s small and light; you get a battery that is small and light. One thing you can do is get a spare battery. That is good advice for any camera. Another thing that will help is to keep the display off as much as possible. That means using the monitor as little as possible. The “sad” part is that Canon chose to drop the optical viewfinder in this model. That means a camera that is simpler and less expensive to make but will go through batteries quicker because you must use the display when taking picture.

- The camera response is a bit slow for effectively capturing children and pets. The trick for doing that is to either have a great sense of timing and a shutter that reacts instantly or a reasonably fast ( > 4x / sec ) burst mode. This camera has neither.

Some other suggestions that apply:

- Use the lowest ISO available given your requirement for either aperture or shutter speed. To avoid getting technical, higher ISO always introduces higher noise. At issue is when it becomes noticeable. In newer dSLR cameras you can get over 1000, maybe well over depending on the camera, before the noise becomes noticeable. For this camera keeping it at or below 200 is a good idea.

- Don’t use in-camera sharpening. Digital pictures will almost always benefit from sharpening but you are better off doing it with a photo editing program. Compuer-based algorithms tend to be more sophisticated and you can better judge the results on your monitor as opposed to the camera LCD.

- If you want more vivid colors and have the choice use sRGB instead of Adobe RGB. While you get fewer colors they are distributed over a wider range. They are also render better on computer monitors, many commercial labs, and any other place your pictures are likely to show up.
