Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot SD750 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)
Digital camera Review: A great camera.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love my Canon PS SD750! It takes wonderful clear pictures and the LCD screen is very large and clear for previewing your shots. The battery life is very good and charges quickly. SD cards are cheap these days and I recommend at least a 4 GB card. This camera is still made in Japan and the quality is phenomenal. My old Canon pocket camera lasted me 5 years with plenty of abuse and still works like a charm! You won't be disappointed.Digital camera Review: A great little camera with a few shortcommings
Summary: 4 Stars
I shoot primarily with digital SLRs, but there is always a time when you don't have your camera bag with you and there is a photo opportunity. Camera phones just don't cut the cake for this (yet). For the last four years, I used a Powershot S230, and it filled that purpose wonderfully but the 3" screen on the SD750 called me in like the Sirens of mythology. In general, I have been very satisfied with the SD750, but there have been a few items I did not like.
Let me start with the positives: The 3" screen is bright and sharp. Everyone who sees the camera loves it. The face detection software works great. For taking photos of family and friends, this will be the point and shoot camera you will want to have. The price is reasonable. TIP: Don't compare cameras by simply the megapixel size! Two things create sharp photographs. The camera sensor, and the quality of the lens. With the Canon SD750, both of these are the best quality you can find in a small camera. The SD750 takes decent videos as well. The menu system is easy to navigate.
Now for the negatives: There is a price to pay for the large preview screen. Battery life is low. With five minutes of video, I was only able to shoot 200 still images before I had a low battery warning. You will want to invest in a spare battery. Digital zoom in the video mode is terrible. Be careful not to go beyond the 3x optical range when using this feature. As others have noted, the on/off button is small and recessed and requires a fingernail to operate. Results with this camera have been inconsistent. While I have taken some nice portraits, some shots have demonstrated a tendency towards soft focus. I have the silver model. Some reviewers have said that this is not the case with the black model, so you may want to stick with that. There is no image stabilization on this camera. If you don't have a steady hand, you may want to get a camera that has that feature.
Digital camera Review: A great shot full of power. Spectacular camera.
Summary: 5 Stars
What a spectacular camera. You start off with one of the lowest startup costs the market can offer, and you are sent one of the most sleek, savvy, and technologically advance cameras out there. The Canon Powershot SD750 is one I can recommend to call, and believe me, I have gone through my good share of cameras.
Why do you want to believe this review? I'm going to give you a couple of quick reasons why you should. You don't have to, and truthfully I wouldn't believe text either. However, I can guarantee you that once you hold this camera in your hands, test drive it, and see the prints it produces, you will be in love. In LOVE, I tell you.
1. You get a camera that doesn't take that much brainpower if you are not willing to dedicate yourself to learning how to use it.
Most cameras now days are going to give you too many features for a non-aficionado of photography. Just flip the camera on, and go between the "Auto" mode, and you can also dive into some specific "Scene" modes that customize the camera for a specific cause, i.e. "Aquarium" or "Kids and Pets" You can always dive in more to the camera if you're willing.
2. Affordability.
You pay around $200.00 for the camera itself, a cute case, and an SD card of suitable size. This camera is not going to cost you an arm and a leg for great prints and shots.
3. 7.1 Megapixel,BABY!
If you don't know what that means, let me give it to you simple: a good picture. Advanced version of that: A lot of dots, in essence 7,100,000 dots. A lot of dots to make up a picture, and the more dots you will need for enlargements (Bigger paper, more ink, more dots.) That's megapixels for you.
4. Older folks CAN use this!
Me being 18, my needs are met. Imagine if you are 70 and looking for a good camera. It will be just fine. You can't screw this one up, and you are going to snap some of the best pictures ever, especially if you are still using film! Trust me, this is an extraordinary camera, which can meet a college level photo class requirement camera, all the way to the most novice of users, ages 40 and up.
Among these, you should be able to see that this camera and its easy to use interface is just the camera for you. I am not here to market this camera to you, but only here to enlighten you as to how fun and easy this camera is out of the box, and yet if you are a photographer geared to take picturesque shots, you can do that just as well using some of the advanced features, such as adjustable exposure, white balance, and advanced color swapping and warping technology.
The Canon SD750 is one I cannot go without on a daily basis. The question is if you are going to join me on having one of the best and most affordable cameras Canon has to offer? The choice is yours. See the sample photography that has been added by other users if you don't believe this text. I can attest to its quality and beauty.
Digital camera Review: A jewel
Summary: 5 Stars
This little camera is a jewel, It is small enough, but has a display screen large enought that even I can see. The documntation is easer to understand than other cameras that I own. Over all this is a great camera easy to use and with the a 2gig card will take all the pictures you want. I love it.Digital camera Review: A nice & compact camera with lots of features
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros: Very compact (slightly bigger than SD1000), large LCD (3"), good battery life (around 125 pictures), good picture quality for a point-n-shoot, face tracking is cool, easy to use options.
Cons: Grainy view through LCD in low light, No viewfinder (cannot expect it with 3" LCD), Limited scene modes (not a complaint as such), LCD is not really finger print resistant, flash can be still more brighter to cover the corners, panel buttons are smaller (not a problem for my small fingers)
Though I have listed a lot of Cons, I still give it a 5 rating since I think most of those Cons are common across all point-n-shoot camera's. This camera is definitely not for professionals who like to play with lot of manual adjustments, but this is an excellent camera to own for anyone who don't want to play with manual controls. Caution: though this camera comes with ISO1600, try to avoid using it since it causes the picture to be grainy - ISO200 thru ISO400 should be ideal for low light situations.
