Fantastic small point and shoot August 4, 2008

I'm giving this a 5 star even though I've only had it about a week. I returned 2 before this one (Sony and Kodak). This one is far superior in noise reduction and overall image quality. The noise I have seen has been more fuzz than the color noise that I've seen with other point and shoots.

The features are amazing and include a function button, a grid if desired, histogram, IS throughout all modes - not just a designated mode as I've seen on other models, plus many more.

The picture quality is excellent for this type of camera. Battery charges quickly and it turns on very quickly.

Well worth the price!!!

Love this camera, it is so small and light that it is really easy to take it with you. Easy to use too. Just don't buy it when you want to have a lot of zoom because it can only do 3x and that's not very much. Screen is bright enough to see even when the sun shines and battery lasts quite long.

This review is a combination of three:

Canon PowerShot SD950IS 12.1MP (Titanium)
Canon PowerShot SD770IS 10MP (Silver)
Canon PowerShot SD790IS 10MP

I first purchased the Canon SD950, and after loonnnggg shipping from Jr.com, I received it and tried it out. The camera is much bigger than the SD500 that I upgraded from--even though it's got so many bells and whistles. One thing about Canon that's got my eyebrow raised: Why the big font as if we can't read?

The Image Stabilization is a wonderful thing, right along with the face detection. It even focused on an enlarged print of a little girl! The 3.7 zoom is nothing to frown at either. ISO is easier to set now so one can play around with the settings...

The camera is made for "big hands" and it took me about two weeks of off and on shooting to get used to it. The 12MP quality is okay, and I didn't have to get used to too much new button placement. One thing I didn't like is the play button. I felt I had to really push my finger on the play button in order to view my photos. It annoyed me enough to see what else was out there.

The Canons SD770 and SD790 were next on my list. Even though they were "only" 10MP, they had newer technology from Canon: Motion Detection and Infinity and cute buttons in all new small packages.

SD770IS(Silver)
First the SD770. This was a nice small camera! Not cheap feeling at all, Canon packed everything but the kitchen sink in there. I like the "Infinity" setting that the SD950 didn't have. Also, I have the silver version and it's nice, small, sleek, and takes great pictures. I didn't like the way the battery cover was not spring loaded. Also, either it was this particular camera or the 770 in general, but it seemed like I had to "dig" for the battery and SDHC card once put in. Yes, it's compact, hefty, and full of bells and whistles, but it was...kinda boring. Maybe because the silver color didn't have the pizazz of the black version that I'd read reviews on. Moving on to the SD790...

SD790IS
Bigger camera! Compared to the 770, it's a giant! The same size as the 950 except in a square/cube like form. The 950 is curvy, while the 790 is sleek and boxy (not sure if that's an oxymoron or not!). The 790 also has a new button format that I'm not sure if I like or not. I really enjoyed the SD500's button placement and while I can appreciate a "play" button...why not make it easy access instead of having to constantly press the button down? I'm thinking that the play buttons will eventually wear out. The big screen is nice, and even though I haven't used a viewfinder since...ever, it would be nice to "just have". So the lack of a viewfinder is a potential bummer. You never know when you gotta smear your nose on the photo screen to take pic! lol Also, the 790 is a fingerprint magnet.

I tried to take the same pictures with all the cameras, but couldn't always (morning/evening, different zoom, etc.). Both the 770 and 790 have high ISO settings (as did the 950), but I didn't even use anything that high previously! All the pictures came out great. Even my crappy pictures of my messy coffee table were clear and colorful! One issue I had with all three cameras was the color accent setting. It seemed as if I got better black and white/one color photos from my SD500 than either of these cameras. I have to do a lot more tweaking. However, it could be just because of the balances of the colors and the lighting effects in my environment.

If I just had to choose based on portability, photos, looks, bells/whistles, ease of use, I would go crazy trying to decide. Both cameras are amazingly small! The thing that keeps me wondering about the 770 is, "how can they fit all these specs in this TINY camera!?? But, I'm a sucker for good looks, so the scale points back to the SD790! True it's bigger than the 770, but it's still small considering the screen. I always take great care of my electronics, so I'm not so worried about fingerprints. If the button issue upsets me extremely, then I'll just upgrade to Canon's latest and greatest in 6-8 months.

One more thing: I purchased the SanDisk 4 GB Extreme III SDHC Card w/ MicroMate USB Reader
and it gets 900ish pictures on the 10MP versions at the highest settings.
Either way, can't wait to take pics on the new SD790. I feel that although all three are great, the 790 has that sleekness with Canon's new technology all in one package.

Get out, purchase any of these cams and you'd be satisfied.

I had done some shopping before realizing that Amazon offered the best price on the camera I desired. Service was excellent - I received the camera VERY quickly, using the basic option. And what an excellent camera it is. I'm very pleased.

After a long time of searching for the right product I found this amazing Canon, easy to configure and operate, the IS really helps, the optic zoom is good for a pocket camera (though I would hope for more for the same price and camera size), the recognize face feature is quite nice, Video records are in high quality and may replace a real camcorder however verify that you are using the optic zoom and not the digital.
This Camera requires high speed memory card, so to enjoy it don't save on the memory card go for the top.
Very satisfied from the product and recomand to others
