Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD (Black)
Digital camera Review: Amazed by the quality!
Summary: 5 Stars
Besides the fact that I really like this camera, which I have had for over a year, I recently saw a new quality in it. I lost it nine days ago, and it was found outside. Having been under 4 inches of snow for about 4 days, and two days of rain, I had no hope of it still working. However, much to my delight and surprise, it still works perfectly. It was in a case, but it was not water tight. Very impressed!Digital camera Review: Amazing HD camera that is better than the Flip!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera about a month ago and I couldn't have been happier. I've taken about 500 photos so far and 50 video clips and they're all perfect!
Pros:
Small size: Smaller than iPhone/iPod touch when stacked and twice as thick on the side. Ultra portable!
12.1 MP pictures are perfect quality
Auto mode makes it really easy to snap quick shots
Face detection works really well
Many features in the Program mode that will satisfy any teenager like myself
Color swap and color accent are really cool effects. Major plus!
HD video quality is amazing and I think it's better than the Flip HD. It's also MUCH smaller than the Flip Mino.
While recording a video, the camera will automatically change the brightness, tone, and exposure
Microphone is on the front instead of on the top where the speakers are so your fingers won't cover it when recording for a long time.
Ability to set custom timers and how many pictures to take.
Fast transfer to computer even when using the USB cable. Usually taking out the SD card and putting it in your computer's card reader is faster, but no need to do that with this camera.
Image Stabilization works well.
Came with a free 4gb SDHC card.
Blink detection is also really useful. If a person blinks in the photo, the powershot will review the picture and have an icon telling you to retake the picture if you can.
Only 2 hours for a full charge
Cons:
Taking a picture of a fast moving object while in Auto mode might turn out blurry. Putting it on Program mode and Kids&Pets will fix it.
In Auto mode, the camera may blow out the sky and make it all white when focusing on someone(beach photos). I recommend turning down the exposure to -1/3 or using the beach mode in Program
Audio is mono when recording videos
No option to choose what to focus on before shooting a video
Doesn't auto focus while recording videos. Annoying when i'm taking a macro video but then want to show something else
Video quality is really noisy in low light conditions, but bearable.
No optical zoom while recording a video - only digital
Viewfinder is pretty useless. Too small
Wrist wrap should be just a little longer and have a tightning feature so you can tighten it around your wrist.
Power button is just a little too small.
The switch to switch between Auto, Program, and Video could've been larger and easier to move.
Digital camera Review: Amazing Little Camera!
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased the Canon PowerShot SD780IS camera for our teenage daughter to replace an unreliable Samsung which ate batteries. I have a Canon A95 and have really enjoy it, so we thought we would give this one a try. She has had it for 3 months at the writing of this review. It is everything it claims to be and more.
The battery life is amazing! We bought her an extra battery based on the experience we had with her finicky Samsung. So far she has never needed the spare battery. She loves the fact that it is small and fits into her purse. She took it to the Otakon Convention in Baltimore, on a trip to Chicago and Minneapolis and it took fabulous photos each time under lots of different conditions.
It is petite and works well for people with small fingers. Most men may find this camera difficult to use due to its small button size. However, I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone looking for a good quality camera and a good value for the money.
Digital camera Review: Amazing Pocket Camera with HD Video
Summary: 5 Stars
The size of the camera is astonishing. It is much smaller than my mobile phone and weighs only around 4 ounces. The picture and video quality are simply outstanding. Would definitely recommend this.Digital camera Review: Amazing camera!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm impressed with this camera. It's very small and sleek and takes great pictures. It seems very durable and not cheaply built like other cameras. I was taking picutres all day and the battery was still half way full. This camera also shoots HD video and the quality is better compared to the nikon coolpics. If you shoot alot of video consider buying a bigger storeage sd card. I have one 8 gig and 2 gig and lasts me all day. This camera has many great features and a very nice LCD. It even has a tiny viewfinder. I highly recommand this camera to everyone.
