Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot SD790IS 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: CANNON! There is no substitution....
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got my first Cannon today and I'm impressed with the technology which went into this camera. I did a lot of research on this camera before I bought it. Unlike the lousy SONY I owned before it. Cannon is the only brand of digital camera's that is consistently top rated for picture clarity. After having the Sony for 6 mos. I can really appreciate that characteristic. There is too many cool feature's about this product to list so you'll just have to read the spec's on it yourself.Canon PowerShot SD790IS 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom However, the feature's which stand out the most are the stitch assist and the computer-less printing abilities. The stitch assist allows you to bridge multiple picture's together to create a panoramic picture. You don't have to worry about lining the pic's up perfectly either, the camera automatically does it for you. Secondly, The picture bridging ( computer-less printing) allows you to crop, select multiple images for same page printing, select paper size and image size all from your camera. Face detection on this little gem is also pretty outstanding. While detecting a face, it magnifies just the face for your approval before you take that 10 mega-pixel work of art. So, before you waste money on any other brand, do your own research. You'll see, Cannon reign's supreme!Digital camera Review: Camera Freezes!

I loved this camera when I first got it. It is small with a nice display screen and takes great pictures. But after only a few months it began to freeze up on me. I would go to turn it on and the lens would open then the camera would turn off-with the lens still out! The only thing I can do is remove the battery for a few minutes then put it back in. The camera will work until next time I need to use it. Please, if anyone knows how to correct this problem please make a post. For those of you thinking of buying one I have to say that even if this camera takes the best pictures it is rendered useless if it doesn't turn on when you need it! I would strongly recommend shopping around.Digital camera Review: Camera Review

Great Camera. I actually used it in the rain hiking the other day and it held up. Small, Compact, I love this camera, if anything it has many, many functions which take a little time to figure out. But the quality - video and picture is amazing.Digital camera Review: Camera poorly made
Summary: 2 Stars
You know this review will probably come back and bite me because I want to sell this camera and get rid of it. I've own this camera for almost a year and it literally began to fall apart. The body of the camera started to separate. The panel the holds the strap disconnected. The camera fell off my arm to the ground and dented!! When I called Canon they told me, "Yeah, we've had a few problems with that wristband panel."
I also had some LCD monitor problems with strange spots showing up. I sent the camera in for repairs and Canon wanted to charge me for "mishandling the camera" - due to the dent caused by the camera falling. After some complaining, the company agreed to repair the camera "as a courtesy" on the warranty. To their credit: The camera was totally refurbished in less than a week and returned. Apparantly, the company found that the optical assembly was inoperative and had to be replaced. There were also some other "adjustments" that had to be done (I noticed that the side panel is now screwed into the camera.)
Beyond that the camera turns itself on quite easily when it's in your pocket. The top button to switch between video and camera is easily bumped and you end up taking a video instead of an important shot. The rotating menu button is also awkward and the movement between photos jumpy.
Overall, I was very disappointed. I typically use NIKON cameras but decided to try out Canon. This camera went to hell in less than a year. I had my Nikons for years and beat them up. I never had them fall apart like this. The camera is refurbished now and I'll likely dump it for some other model and brand. I'm giving the camera two stars instead of one because at least the photos turned out decent and many of the extra features on the camera were nice. The video looks decent and you could zoom in fairly good. The physical construction of the camera was just lacking.
