Canon Powershot SD790IS Digital Camera Review

One of the best canon cameras out there right now is the Canon Powershot SD790IS digital camera. After reviewing several other models, this one came out on top.

You will be quickly impressed with the startup speed of the camera and the qualities of the pictures from the Canon Powershot SD790IS are superb. You can take approximately 150 shots and still have lots of battery power. This feature alone puts this one in a class of its own. The flash recharge speed is extremely fast when compared to other thin digital cameras.

Pictures taken on the "auto" mode come out looking perfect and the color always seems accurate. Faces are not washed out; pictures taken in bright sunlight, distance shots or close up, all come out as you want them to, great!

Canon Powershot SD790IS Digital Camera Review

The Canon Powershot SD790IS digital camera turns on and is ready to use almost instantly, and focuses quickly. Pictures turn out sharp and clear, even with the flash, the zoom works easily with a very accessible button, and there is absolutely no red eye.

The camera is small enough to fit into your pocket and surprisingly light. But don't let the small package fool you as this is one digital camera packed full of features with high quality construction. The body is made from metal rather than plastic which gives it a better feel and makes it sturdier.

The 3.0" LCD screen of the Canon Powershot SD790IS digital camera is bright, and is clearly visible even in bright sun. There is no need for a viewfinder with this one. Another good thing about this camera; it is possible to view images on the camera's screen without extending the lens. When turned off, just hold down the play button to turn on image playback. The lens won't pop out.

This is a great digital camera, and probably the best out there right now in its price range and even better than some more expensive models.

If you plan on shooting a lot in auto mode and want a thin camera with the 3 inch screen, the Canon Powershot SD790IS is the way to go. Another unique feature is that the camera can sense which way you're holding it and shifts the image on the screen.

This review of the Canon Powershot SD790IS digital camera is geared more toward the casual user pointing out features that most people would be interested in rather than from a more technical point of view.

Whether you are looking for a camera to take pictures of your vacations, week-end trips or the kids as they are growing up, the Canon Powershot 790IS digital camera is one that I highly recommend.

The New Way to Quality Video

Achieving high quality video is easier than ever with 'HD' camcorders all over the marketplace. But, the reality is that whatever the technical specification of a video camera is, it is unlikely to produce video as lush and and as 'filmic' as can be achieved with a suitable DSLR ( Digital single lens reflex ) camera. The relatively large chip or sensor size of a DSLR costing only a few hundred pounds ( say 0 ) gives the videographer the capability to shoot with very small depth of field. Much more so than is possible with a 0 camcorder. Depth of field is a product of sensor size as much as it is of aperture/focal length. Those DSLR cameras that shoot high quality video do so on a chip which is much larger than a video camera of comparable cost.

Currently the weapon of choice is a Canon 5D, with a very large sensor relative to cost-comparable video cameras, but the Canon 7D for example can be found new for about £900. Although the 7D sensor is smaller (The APS-C sensor, as used in a 7D range from 20.7×13.8 mm to 28.7×19.1 mm). It still gives that essential ability to produce an image with a small depth of field. The beauty of DSLRs as video cameras is that the lenses can be so very good. It's possible to upgrade you kit slowly, searching out second hand prime lenses of very high quality.

Canon PowerShot SD780IS

Now what of sound you ask. Well it's possible. the DSLR was not designed with sound in mind, but recording sound 'offboard' on a digital recorder enable you to acquire the best sound possible. Again rather like the camera, a 'soundkit' can be upgraded as you go, buying radiomicrophones and suchlike as they can be afforded. The problem of 'synching' the sound is so much easier nowadays with a number of 'waveform chaser' software add ons for editing programs. Load your footage from the camera, load your sound from a digital sound recorder and incredibly the software does the rest! Then you can get on with editing your rushes with sound.

The New Way to Quality Video

A digital recorder with 'audio out' would enable you to use a cheap radiomic to send the audiio to the camera. A receiver on the camera, say on the hotshoe mount, and plugged in to the cameras 3.5mm audio in socket, means you have 'guide audio' on the rushes. The quality may not be great, but it enables you to edit, then come back and manualy synch you sound from the digital recorder only synching that sound as is needed for the final edit. A basic digital recorder will record a timecode on to the audio rushes, accurate to the nearest second. This can 'read aloud' into the microphone at the start of a take. This timecode will then be radioed to the camera and can be used to identify the correct take in the final sound edit.

More expensive recorders can run 8bit timecode, accurate to the nearest frame... but hey... lets leave that to the pros!

Thinking About Slim Digital Cameras?

The advantage of a slim camera is all in the size. These days, you can get a camera that is the size of your palm, and it will easily fit into a shirt or pants pocket without you hardly even knowing that it's there. The great thing about this is that you can carry it with you wherever you go without hindrance, and you always have something to grab to take that great Kodak moment photo.

Another great thing about these slim cameras, is that they are all automatic. It is literally a "point and shoot". There is no thought processes, there are no adjustments, you just point at what you want to take a picture of, half press the shutter so that the lens can focus, and then press the shutter all the way and voila! You have a picture.

Canon PowerShot SD780IS

Some digital cameras are popular with young adults because of their very mobility and light weight. They are also popular with the younger crowd because they are very affordable. Generally speaking, you can find these slim digital cameras for less than 0, and if you do some shopping around, you may be able to find them for a lot less than that. Another reason they are popular with young adults is because these cameras are made for entry-level users, and for the most part they are only used for the snapshot moment. The people who are using these cameras are not trying to win a photography contest, they are simply wanting something to capture the moment to post on Facebook, or perhaps to add to their digital photo album.

Thinking About Slim Digital Cameras?

The size of these, thin digital cameras means that it is possible to carry them with you no matter what you are wearing or where you' are going. You can slip them into your pants pocket, and for the women it will fit into the smallest of purses. So even if you are headed to the club in your sexy black cocktail dress, you will have space for one of these slim digital cameras.

Disadvantages of owning slim digital cameras.

The problem with slim digital cameras is that they do not offer you any kind of functionality. They are strictly point-and-shoot, which means that you do not have any creative control whatsoever. While they do usually come with a zoom, and the ones coming out on the market today will come with face recognition, they are still automatic cameras with no user controls.

Another problem that can be present with the slim cameras is the photo quality. This is not true of all slim digital cameras, but when you are looking at a new digital camera you will want to be sure to check the specifics of that feature. If you are looking at a review of a camera check for photo quality, if you are doing an in-store comparison you can ask the salesperson to show you an example of a printed picture.

If you're thinking about buying a slim digital camera, you may want to take a look in your hands first. Why, you might ask? Well, by their very nature, slim digital cameras are very small. If you have sausage fingers, you would probably not be compatible with a slim camera. It is not impossible to use these cameras if you have large hands, but it does make it harder.

Canon SD780 Camera Review

I spent a great amount of my time traveling, and I have visited many great places, and have not done justice to my personal book of memories, especially when friends and relatives ask for pictures from any recent trip. I tell them, I have none. They gasped in great surprise assuming that I would at least have lugged a camera with me when I traveled. Yes, they like to meet people in a very different way. And, I'd rather meet them in person and leave the memory at that.

So, it was time to get myself a compact camera, I just couldn't find any cool ones before this until I stumbled upon a new edition by Canon (loving their camera creations off late!), the Canon SD780 Camera! Check it out in black!!

Canon PowerShot SD780IS

Just from a product design stand point, I quickly fell in love with the camera itself, solid build with a nice black finishing, and slides easily into your pocket boasting at 12.1 megapixel and going by the Power Shot series by Canon, it would stand a great chance being a hot seller. It sold me, that's for sure!

Canon SD780 Camera Review

Strikingly small and slim, fast and reliable auto focus with innovative features and optical image stabilization are the cool compact features for the Canon SD780 Camera and the new booster is the high definition movie capability (ability to capture 1280 x 720 pixel movies). Think YouTube.

Product Features

* 12.1-megapixel CCD captures enough detail for photo-quality poster-size prints

* 3x optical zoom lens with Optical Image Stabilizer

* HD movie shooting capability plus HDMI output

* 2.5-inch widescreen PureColor LCD II screen; Face Detection

* Compatible with SD/SDHC, MMC/MMC Plus/HC MMC Plus (not included)

Wide screen live view with simple button function layout proves to be a comfort for any user, the sleek design and simplicity induced is what is much needed to complete a great experience in photo taking. Not that you want to figure out how to use the camera and missing the great moment while you're at it, now would you?

I took some time to look at some video reviews on YouTube on the Canon SD780 Camera and I found this to be giving the best overall overview to the camera, enjoy!

Canon Sd780is Review - Best Compact Camera

I did not realize until I received the Canon Sd780is just how small it was. It is actually a little smaller than a deck of cards. I wanted to get a small camera so I would not have to pack around my big camcorder or my DSLR. I like this little camera because I can just drop it in my shirt pocket and go everywhere with it. I am always taking pictures and video of my daughter with it.

I could not have asked for a more high quality compact digital camera. For the purpose of this review I would like to point out that this camera is a 12 MP and will shoot at 2592 x 1944 and can go up to 4000 x 3000 and also 4000 x 2248 for even wider shots. The quality of the photos are very close to my Panasonic FZ-28 which shoots at 720p high definition but of course is a much larger camera. I can take over 2600 photos before I empty it although I never do.

Canon PowerShot SD780IS

I also like the fact that I can zoom with this camera while recording video. I can watch the videos on my 52" Toshiba HDTV. The only thing is I have to be very slow with my movements while recording video or it will blur but other than that I get very crisp clear, and colorful videos. It also has a tripod mount and I use it sometimes to help keep a steady video shot. There is built in Digic IV Processor and iSaps technology that will automatically calculate the the light in the room and it will adjust automatically.

Canon Sd780is Review - Best Compact Camera

The 3x zoom is not a whole lot but I found it to be sufficient in all most of my shooting situation.

The viewfinder is small but it comes in handy in bright sunlight when you cant see the LCD screen and not to mention most of the current point and shoot digital cameras do not even come with a viewfinder but this one does.

I would suggest getting a 16GB and an extra battery because when you are shooting video it will eat your battery up pretty quick.

I also love the fact that this Canon sd780is has the ability to choose to shoot in auto mode or I can go into the program settings and change the ISO and the white balance. I change these sometimes when shooting in low light because I do not like the results of photo taken with a point and shoot camera with the flash on. So I will set the ISO to 400 and white balance to tungsten and the shots come out with very nice colors clear and crisp. I have taken shots with this camera on this setting in absolutely very little and low light and I get beautiful pictures with it.

I love that it is so small it fits in a pocket ready to pull out at a moments notice to capture the precious moments pics at the right time. I highly recommend this little Canon sd780is review camera to anyone no matter what your level of photography experience may be.

Buying a Canon Digital Camera in 2009

If you want some Canon digital camera help, so you can pick the best model for you, you've come to the right place. What Canon EOS model should you pick?

If you don't know how much money you're willing to spend or what you need from a digital camera, choosing a model isn't an easy task.

Canon PowerShot SD780IS

Before you do anything else, write down everything you want from your future digital camera. What types of photos will you take, normal or using a good optical zoom, and so on.

Buying a Canon Digital Camera in 2009

Do you want a small digital camera, easy to carry around, used to take photos of your friends and family? If this is the case for you, perhaps a regular point and shoot model would be more appropriate than an EOS digital SLR. The size of a digital SLR is bigger than a point and shoot, so they're harder to carry around with you wherever you go.

How big is your budget for this purchase?

While other artist fields can be cheaper to enter, getting into photography is much more expensive. If you're a writer, all you need to get started is paper and a pencil. If you want to dance, you will need shoes. But, if you want to learn photography, you will have to buy a digital camera, and that can be quite expensive. If you know how much money you're willing to spend you can narrow down the number of models to choose from.

Did you take into consideration the camera system as a whole?

Besides the digital camera, make sure you take a look at other products that the manufacturer produces. When I decided on buying the Canon EOS, I did that because I knew it will be easy finding equipment produced by Canon in rental shops for cameras. Canon also has a history of producing good equipment at average prices.

Does the weight of the camera matter to you?

If you plan on using your digital camera during hiking or your travels, you want something light. In this case, you can safely use a midrange or low end camera from Canon, as their weight is very small.

Are you going to do photos just as a hobby, or do you plan on learning and going to a professional level?

If you want to go pro, you should invest and buy a professional camera or at least something from the midrange. If you intend to remain at an amateur level, you can safely go with something cheap.
