Canon PowerShot SD780IS Review

Overall Rating

Canon PowerShot SD780IS is a 12.1 megapixel digital camera that looks really cool in that red color. It features 3x optical zoom and a 2.5 inch LCD display interface. If you want to take sharp, cutting edge pics, then this is your camera.

How about taking shots of things that are far away from you – I’m talking about the ones that you can’t even clearly see with your naked eyes! But, with Canon PowerShot SD780IS, you won’t be facing any problems in taking close ups. Thanks to the 3x optical zoom lens which will allow you to zoom into your subjects before taking the shots.

You might have already heard about Optical Image Stabilizer Technology that is found embedded in most of the Cannon cameras. Yup, the SD780IS is also with the same technology. Do you know what it does? It corrects the problems caused due to handshakes while taking photos. That means, using this cool camera from Cannon, even if you shake your hands purposefully, it won’t affect the pic – the pic will be steady as if it was taken by an expert photographer!

Canon PowerShot SD780IS supports HD movie recording as well. After recording high definition videos and taking some cool pics, you can even connect the camera to a HD tv and enjoy the videos and pics with your family and friends.

If you think that an intelligent camera is one that knows how to automatically update the camera settings for each and every pic the best way to make it perfect, then Canon PowerShot SD780IS is surely an intelligent camera – no doubt about it! You can use the smart AUTO feature. Once you activate the feature, the camera will look after the technical details and you can may just concentrate on your subject!

Some of the other cool things that made me review Canon PowerShot SD780IS are :-

—-> DIGIC 4 Image Processor

—-> iSAPS Technology

—> Face Detection Self-Timer

—> Intelligent Contrast Correction

Canon PowerShot SD780IS camera can be bought from Amazon for a price of just $199.

This is my first camera with image stabilization and it’s works very well. On a recent trip I took over 500 pictures (and filled up less than 1/4th of my 8-gig card at the highest resolution), and not one of them ended up blurry. The AUTO feature has also proven to be much better than I had anticipated: it changes between 18 settings automatically, such as macro, bright sunshine, etc., and so far, it’s been right on the money. Another complaint that I’ve read is that viewfinder is useless. While it is quite tiny, I have actually used it, and I find it to be quite serviceable. At some point, a camera gets so small that it’s difficult to squeeze everything onto its surface area. Kudos to Canon for even including the optical viewfinder at all.
