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.

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 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
