Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot SD770IS 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)
Digital camera Review: A very good camera for the price range and point-and-shoot pocket variety
Summary: 4 Stars
I just noticed I never reviewed this camera I got for Christmas last year (2008). Well, let me tell you this is a great camera. Overall, pictures are crisp and sharp, colors are true to life and bright and features are adequate. I have had this for a year after getting during last year's Black Friday sale and have never regretted getting it (especially at a discounted price!)
I like that it takes videos with sound, at a resolution more than adequate for YouTube sharing. The response time is pretty decent; you don't need to wait a long time for it to "load" or "reset" in between pictures. It's pretty fast. It also has face recognition, although I'm not sure how useful it really is. This pretty much have the features you'd come to expect from Canon pocket cameras.
However, it's not perfect and there are drawbacks. When the flash is turned off, images can get a little blurry. The flash seems to force to camera to focus and when I turn it off (say, I don't want glare reflecting) I have to hold the camera real still or it'll get somewhat fuzzy. If there is natural light and the camera's autoflash doesn't go off, it's not a problem -- only when manually turned off. That's the biggest deficiency. This won't do well in low light settings where you want to capture something far away (try shooting someone at night with the Eiffel Tower lit up behind him) -- but this is a pocket point-and-shoot. In this price range, no camera will excel in low-light situations. (I did get the Eiffel Tower shot, but it was slightly blurry due to the aforementioned issue of blurriness with the flash off). This is mainly a limitation of the price range, not this model.
I bought and tried at least four other cameras during Black Friday before picking this one. It was the best, by far. I have come to regard Canon as the top name in digital cameras -- they always seem to deliver on quality. My digital camera before this was a Canon, and I'm sure my next will be, too.
