Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Pro Reviews

ITreviews‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Canon's latest Digital IXUS is targeted at the style-conscious snapper who wants to look cool while letting the camera do most of the work. It's a shame about the limited zoom and slightly hit-and-miss shooting mode selection, but the end quality remains impressive.

Look at the SD780's specs sheet basics – 3x zoom, 2.5 inch LCD, tiny viewfinder, and few controls designed to appeal to advanced shooters – and its list price of just a shade under $300 looks hard to justify. Shoot with the camera for a little while, though, and you'll quickly figure out that this is a device that proves to be much more than the sum of its parts. Streamlined in every sense to fit with the kind of casual, memory-capturing shooting that most of us engage in most of the time, the SD780 is a camera that churns out great pictures without fuss.

Canon has taken the concept of a fashionable, easy-to-use point-and-shoot that also performs well and knocked it out of the park. The Canon PowerShot SD780 IS is sure to turn heads and keep casual photographers happy with its image quality and fun features. It's the best-looking point-and-shoot camera we've seen in 2009, and it's one of the best basic point-and-shoots, period. The trade-off is that you don't get much in the way of manual controls, and the price tag is geared more to its style and performance than its specs.

The SD780 IS, Canon's least-expensive HD-capable point-and-shooter, is probably smaller than many smartphones and takes excellent images.

Those who choose the Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS as their travel companion of choice are obviously favouring portability (or fashion) above all else, but luckily the camera doesn't fall down on performance, and, given its diminutive dimensions, it's a surprise that there aren't more inherent compromises. For example, even though the operational buttons and controls are small, they never feel too small.

The Imaging Resource‘s review Edit Like Unlike

We really like the way the camera works, and at least two of us had it on our short list as our next pocket camera, the fact that it can't exceed the capabilities of the two-year-old 7.1-megapixel Canon SD1000 scuttled our plans. We still think the SD780 IS is a very nice digital camera to use, and that it will serve as a decent camera for serving up good 4x6-inch prints at up to ISO 800, but that 12-megapixel designation on the front of the camera makes it seem like the camera is capable of more.

Camera Labs‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Much of the appeal of the IXUS 100 IS / SD780 IS of course lies with its physical build and appearance. See it in the flesh and it’s a real head-turner, and the first model we’ve tested in a long while to attract admiring comments from almost everyone who saw it. The camera really is very small with a smart finish and total absence of sharp corners, ensuring it’ll never dig uncomfortably into your hands or pockets. It simply looks and feels great.

The great-looking SD780 IS isn't a superficial beauty; its performance and features are stunning, too.

So what you have in the Canon IXUS 100 IS, is a compact, lightweight and well-built camera, that will slip easily into a pocket or bag, ideally suited for snapping away without weighing you down. It looks good too and is a pleasure to use, bringing that quality look that is typical of this line of IXUS models.

infoSync World‘s review Edit Like Unlike

This is a compact camera, that will sell just because of its ultra portable size, but there’s no denying the fact that the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS is much more than just a pocket-friendly smooth talker. Most other tiny compacts in this class can walk the walk, but they can’t back it up with a solid image performance, or great features. The PowerShot SD780 IS churned an excellent portfolio of images in bright and low light, in addition to providing plenty of advanced features that can’t be found on most of its competitors.

If you need an ultracompact camera for your pocket or purse, strongly consider the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS.

For recreational shooters, this pint-size point-and-shoot fits in any pocket, delivers decent quality, and records clean HD video.

Steve's Digicams‘s review Edit Like Unlike

This camera produces images that rival of larger more expensive digicams, and offers AF performance that leaves many of them in the dust as well. I was slightly disappointed that the burst mode was slower than its predecessor (I achieved 1fps compared to the SD770's 1.6fps), however I don't see too many of the consumers that buy this camera using that feature often.

The Canon IXUS 100 IS is almost a novelty now, a 3x zoom ultra-compact when all around are wide-angle long-zooms. It's a nice looking camera with excellent build quality and a good range of features. Performance is good, especially in low light, and the image quality is also generally very good. However the awkward handling and almost pointless tiny viewfinder limit its appeal.
