Canon PowerShot SD780IS12.1 MP Digital Camera Review
This is the smallest camera from canon that takes excellent pictures. The view finder is too small to use but can be used in a pinch. The flash is not that good because only works in short distances and the colors are off with the flash. I have set the camera to never use flash since most situations do not need a flash. I have a bigger Canon for flash pictures and bigger optical zoom. The small size of this camera means I am most likely to carry it when I go out.

I bought the SD 780 because I wanted HD video. It’s HD video is great. Some other reviewers complained about the HD video being noisy, especially in low light. However, I found that the SD 780′s HD video was just as good as, if not better than, than other compact cameras’ video abilities in low light.
My one complaint is that the SD 780′s video format is now Quiktime .mov (all earlier Canon SDxxx used .avi). This can be slightly annoying if your computer runs Windows and you expect to use Windows Media Player, Windows Movie Maker, etc. to view/edit videos because these applications can’t handle the .mov created by the SD 780. However, you can easily get Quicktime viewer to view the videos on Windows, and you can get conversion software to turn the .mov into formats that work with whatever software you use.

I was very pleased with the image capture. The pictures were very clear and it almost always took a great picture even if the lighting was poor or I was moving around a lot. I was disappointed in the video portion. The video itself looked great, but the audio that was recorded with the video has a lot of noise that is recorded from inside the camera somewhere. I recorded in complete silence, and the audio still had a humming that was quite loud.

I’ve been waiting for this camera to come out. I absolutely love the size of it, I finally have a small camera that I can take with me anywhere. I’ve been satisfied with the picture quality so far. I think I need to mess around with the settings a bit more – my macro photos are looking so so. My only main complaint so far is that the screen is small (would have loved to see a large screen that takes up more of the back of the camera) and the buttons are so tiny, you need to hit them just right with part of your finger. But it’s easy to use and I love the way it looks and the size and for someone who takes pictures like me (casually), it’s perfect. And there have been a number of photos that have turned out beautifully, great colors.
