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

It may be the slimmest Digital ELPH Canon has ever created, but the impact couldn’t be bigger. The PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH captivates the senses with bold saturated colors and a daringly original design that matches the intensity of Canon’s most innovative camera technology. Even when picture-taking conditions seem pretty unforgiving, you’ve got Canon on your side. So the shots you used to miss are the images you’ll now be sharing, and the movies you never took before will be HD unforgettable.

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 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.

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 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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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…

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 EXCELLENT!!!
Slim, light weight, large screen, well packed and shipped with just a little delay. EXCELLENT product! Thanks!

5 Stars Worth Considering
This camera surprised me. First of all, my personal cameras are big Nikons, so my ego tells me that this little camera is a toy and isn’t going to come close. I do have a point and shoot – a Canon G10, which is still a big, full featured camera with a lot of bells and whistles. I picked this out for a friend who absolutely didn’t want a larger camera (not enough purse room). I honestly expected to be disappointed.

And I was delighted instead. I opened the box and charged the battery and promptly discovered that there was no thick manual but a thin ‘getting started’ pamphlet. OK, thought I, I’ll play along, This was intended to be a camera for a non-reader of manuals so let’s pretend… I put the battery and a memory card in the camera, followed the pamphlet and bang (or rather, ‘click’) I had a great picture of my cat. Undaunted I headed outside and started aiming it at trees and scenery. And it did a great job every time. Loaded the pictures into photoshop and was suitably impressed with the image quality. And not once did I take the camera of Auto.

I eventually discovered the manual buried away on the accompanying CD and discovered that just under the covers was a very sophisticated machine. Plenty of options should my friend ever decide to go beyond point and shoot. Since the camera has image stabilization and is smart about shifting into macro I’m not sure that that ever will be necessary. But if she wants to shoot fireworks, theres a setting for that (and a whole bunch of other things).

Probably the most important feature of the camera is that it uses a touch screen rather than a lot of knobs and buttons. This will take a bit of getting used to, but once you learn how (and where) to tap on the screen you will find that most features are very easy to use. And the screen is quite large. One warning though – there’s no viewfinder, and big screens can be hard to read in direct sunlight. So there are times when you will have to point, squint, and shoot. Another thing to keep in mind with a large view screen is that, scratch resistant or not, if you drop it in your purse with a bunch of keys you will eventually scratch it. Get a small case of some sort (there are countless options).

This is a very good buy if the price is within your budget. Truth is, I’m not in any hurry to present it to my friend.

5 Stars Superb
It’s about the right size for a handy camera…not bulky!

The touch feature is very convenient and easy to use.

5 Stars Great camera for the value
I purchased this camera recently from Amazon. When I bought it I paid roughly U$ 270, which was a very good price when the same camera was advertised by other vendors at over U$ 300. For the money I paid, this camera is awsome. I am personally not too fond of touchscreens (I am more into the “analog” and “buttons” designs.. call me old fashioned), but this camera blew my mind. The touch screen is so intuitive you can get to every corner of the menu in seconds. It has nice futures as touching an area of the picture to select where to focus. Other things it has are creative effects, like selecting one particular color and leaving the rest of the image in black and white: this creates very nice artistic images whan you want a particular item to stand out in the picture. You can even select any color in the image and swap (in real time) for another… I tried taking a shot at the swimming pool, which locked pale and white, and swapped for an aquamarine turquoise which really enhanced the picture without making it cheesy or fake-looking… It’s like working with Photoshop in real time.. The camera is really small and practical. As I had read in other reviews, the batery/SD lid is quite flimsy, built of a thin plastic which doesen’t look very promising. The lids on the HDMI and USB connections also look like they’ll break before the camera’s first birthday. However, this is not a tough-built, rugged camera to take under the rain or on the trail, so provided you serve its intended use (parties, home, theatre, and anywhere where you’d take reasonable good care of a high quality optic instrument!), you should be fine. It doesen’t require silk gloves… just don’t fumble with the lids too often. The quality of the pictures is good but not outstanding, at least in auto modes indoors (I have an Olympus 570UZ which I think handles white balance more nicely). The HDMI is superb, and the real plus is the 24mm equivalent widescreen, which is great for indoor group pictures where little space would usually require everyone to huddle up so as to fit in the picture.. I would purchase this again.

5 Stars I am loving this camera
This is the third Canon PowerShot digital camera, which I have owned. Each has worked perfectly and the only reason I keep buying new models is that new features are introduced, which compel me to purchase the next generation…. good marketing, Canon!

What I love about this model: the tap-screen back, which enables one to quickly identify what part of the scene is to be tightly focused. And the 24 mm wide-angle lens (speaking in terms reserved for 35 mm cameras) is SENSATIONAL. It enables me to get much richer, more interesting shots than my previous PowerShot SD950 IS digital camera.

While the digital sensor in this point-and-shoot camera is no where near as large as the sensor in my CanonDigital Rebel T1i SLR, and cannot match the impeccable imaging of the larger camera, the PowerShot provides a stunning back-up camera — I am never without it. In Washington DC, last month, I was walking by the US Capital at 10 pm and had only my PowerShot SD3500 IS with me. I caught the gorgeous, lit dome and its mirror image in the reflecting pool in a shot that deserves to grace postcards or calendars. Love my PowerShot!
