Canon Power Shot Digital Camera Review

By Peter Gabriel

Ultra Compact 12.1 MP Camera

Canon’s new 2009 digital camera lineups are coming out later this month (March) and my inbox was hit with their usual PowerShot eNewsLetter promoting the “sleek, slender, and super smart” PowerShot SD 780 IS Digital ELPH. Offered in bright red, black, silver, and gold colors, the beautiful little compacts convey the meanings of passion, confident, classic, and luxury.

If you are disgusted by the heavy DSLR cameras with the same old looks, I am sure you will find the new Canon cameras refreshing. And the beauty isn’t just skin-deep, it comes packed with Canon’s digital camera innovations. For someone who wants more power, there are higher end Canon PowerShot SD960IS and Canon PowerShot SD970IS coming as well.

How often do you go out with friends at the café or bars, at the beach, or mountain biking? And how many times have you wished you had a good portable camera on hand to capture the moment ? You’ll say that “good” and “portable” don’t go together when the word comes to cameras, but I’d prove you wrong!

The Canon Power Shot SD780IS Digital Camera is as small as your wallet, and weighs less than a toothpaste tube, BUT has 12.1 mega pixel resolution, DIGIC 4 image processor, and bright LCD screen for stunning images. If that got you interested, read on!

So, I mentioned how small and portable this camera is. That means that you can carry it with you all the time, even in your pocket, and you won’t miss any more good shots. When the time is right, you just take it out, point, and shoot! It has lightning quick startup thanks to the DIGIC 4 image processor, which makes it ready for action whenever you are.

It’s good to note here that if this is your first camera, you’re going to absolutely love its user friendliness. There is a simple intuitive menu that won’t intimidate you at all, I promise! It figures out the best settings automatically (it basically thinks instead of you). It even has image stabilization. You just spot a picture-worthy situation and press a button - it’s that easy!

Oh, and did I mention that it records HD video in 720p? How cool is that? Your pocket camera not only has superb specs and a supermodel looks, but it also records video! HD video!!! If you haven’t already, it’s about time that you register an account at YouTube. I bet that soon you’ll have a lot to share with the world!
