Digital camera Review: Best I've Found
Summary: 5 Stars

This camera by far out performs any other point-and-shoot I have found. It's small thus allowing you to carry it around with ease. But don't let the small size fool you because it's loaded with features and has a very large view screen. I have found two features in particular that are superior to any other point-click I've owned: Battery life and rapid focus.

The small, rectangular battery measures 1-1/4 by 1-3/4 inches and comes with a charging holder that plugs directly into any normal outlet. The battery charges very quickly and will last for hundreds of flash photos before it needs recharged--far more than replaceable AA or AAA batteries. In fact, I have never had the battery run all the way down.

The camera also focuses very quickly and accurately. It's rare that you'll get a blurry shot. And finally, the camera has multiple special scene settings allowing you to optimize the setting such as softness for portraits, sunset shots, foliage, etc...

This camera is a bit pricier than most point-and-shoots but well worth it.

Digital camera Review: Best camera we have owned.
Summary: 5 Stars

We have owned 5 digital cameras over the last few years and this is the best one so far. It is very hard to get a bad picture. It is very simple to use and packed full of fun features. My neice has the canon 1100 model and this one has a nicer feel and bigger screen. (Go for the larger screen) It's not as fast as some other digital camers I've used, but it is great for most users. If I ever need to buy another digital camera, I would buy this one again.

Digital camera Review: Best little shooter this side of San Francisco
Summary: 5 Stars

I got this camera as a gift for christmas 2008. Usually I use Nikon so I was a litle reluctant to think of this one as nothing more than just "basic." Wrong! It took me a a day or so to read the manual and get used to the settings but after that I was shooting classics. If you want a day/date stamp it will do it but only on the lower pixel end. If you want to shoot 3648x2736 or something like that you won't be able to set a day/date stamp on it. Only with the software when you're done shooting. I shoot on the high end and then order 11x16 or 16x22 photos or poster prints. The pictures framed look just like pictures taken at a portrait studio. Even the 1600x1200 look great blown up.

I am not very keen on photo techniques for shooting pics. But with this little camera I enjoy learning and making history moments with my 2 year old son. The camera even has a a video and voice cam. I use like an 8GB SD card when I do that so I have more storage space. The LCD screen is really excellent I am not kidding.

I love setting the camera on "kids and pets" for those fast action shots. Ever try catching a two 1/2 year old standing still? It ain't easy let me tell you. I took him to a studio before I bought this camera and the guy shot like 150 photos to get just three good ones! Now if you was using film you would be spending a ton of money trying to get a good shot. With this camera you can shoot continuous rapid shots (if you want) or close ups and when you're done you can delete the ones you don't want or upload them to your computer and edit from there. I shoot and transfer to my computer and order prints online. Or take them into a dock at CVS drugs.(A cameras pictures are only as good as the company that developes them.)

This one is made in Japan. I have not had any problems with it even after my son knocked it on the floor from my book cabinet. My portable DVD player didn't fair so well. If you want to test something see what happens after a two Y.O. gets a hold of it.

There are 100's of cameras on the market but this is a good dependable little camera. Shop around read reviews before you buy. Canon PowerShot SD790IS 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized ZoomI wouldn't pay more than 299.00 for it. I paid that much but I have seen them as low as 235.00. Happy shoot'n!


Digital camera Review: Best point and shoot 10MP camera !!
Summary: 5 Stars

I purchased this camera as a gift but got a chance to use it. The camera takes very good pictures with a very good battery life. There is nothing more you can ask for from a camera. Perfect camera for both outdoor and indoor pictures. Really 5 star product!

Digital camera Review: Best price on Amazon
Summary: 5 Stars

Our digital camera just died recently and we looked in the stores for a new camera. The point and click Canon powershot sd 790 caught out eye since it was much better and stronger than out old one. The price tag in the stores was $250.00 without tax. We looked on every website and should have looked here first. We got a great price and we have used it for a few months now and I have to say that I would have paid $250.00 for it since it is an amazing little camera but am very happy that I did not pay full price. I won't got into details since others here will give you all the specs..but let me say that if you are interested and do your research, this camera will serve you well as it did me.
