Summary
Review summaries for Canon SD780 IS from expert digital camera reviewers.
|
|
"
|
color looks mostly accurate, rather than the usual tendency toward oversaturation that most companies employ to appeal to consumers."
|
|
|
"
|
very sharp image"
|
|
|
"
|
the SD780 IS produced far fewer sharp shots, despite its image stabilization."
|
|
|
|
"
|
This little camera is capable of capturing 1,280 x 720 pixel movies which you can play on your television or computer later."
|
|
|
|
"
|
I found all the controls and buttons easy to use, and though the SD780 IS was somewhat slippery, I found it about as easy to hold as the SD1000 once I got it under control."
|
|
|
"
|
The Canon SD780's Four-way navigator is quite small, requiring me to angle my thumb inward somewhat to press the outer navigation buttons without instead activating the center Function/Set button."
|
|
|
|
|
|
"
|
Photo quality is very good, but still subject to problems characteristic of point-and-shoot cameras of this size and price."
|
|
|
"
|
color were very good."
|
|
|
"
|
good photo"
|
|
|
|
"
|
Its video quality is very good, too."
|
|
|
"
|
The Movie mode is capable of recording at an HD resolution of 720p."
|
|
|
|
"
|
Its shutter lag was decent, too, at 0.4 second in good lighting and 0.6 second in dimmer conditions."
|
|
|
"
|
No optical zoom in Movie mode."
|
|
|
|
"
|
Subjects get noticeably softer and smoother as the ISO gets higher, but detail remains reasonably good up to and including ISO 800."
|
|
|
|
|
|
"
|
its images came out super-sharp, clean, and with near-perfect color."
|
|
|
|
"
|
the SD780 is high-definition capable, it can record the largest video of any Canon point-and-shooter (1,280 by 720 pixels progressive resolution at 30 frames per second)."
|
|
|
|
"
|
720 pixels progressive resolution"
|
|
|
|
"
|
Some may find the buttons a bit too small for their taste, as well."
|
|
|
|
|
|
"
|
Color accuracy is quite good as well, and the screen seemed very close in presenting overall exposure as well."
|
|
|
"
|
latest generation DIGIC IV image processor"
|
|
|
"
|
latest lens-integrated stabilization system"
|
|
|
|
"
|
all new, optically stabilized design"
|
|
|
"
|
Lens and Zoom A 3x, moderate-wide to moderate-tele zoom lens was the standard optical choice for several generations of pocket cameras, but advancements in the last year or so have made lenses like the SD780's 33-100mm equivalent zoom somewhat pass."
|
|
|
|
"
|
Pixel peepers will likely be less inclined to give the SD780 a run given this weak showing, but even so, decent noise control that keeps ISO 1600 images usable for small prints or web display leaves us willing to cut the SD780 just a little slack in this regard."
|
|
|
|
|
|
"
|
The SD780 IS is sure to turn heads and keep casual photograpers happy with its image quality and fun features."
|
|
|
|
"
|
the control buttons are fairly small and may prove difficult for the meaty-handed to use."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"
|
large, crisp 2.5-inch LCD screen"
|
|
|
|
|
|
"
|
For those of you who are a bit more creative, there are also options for Color accent and Color swap."
|
|
|
"
|
pictures more fun and enjoyable"
|
|
|
"
|
It was able to capture the first image in just 1.4 seconds from pressing the power button!"
|
|
|
|
"
|
excellent video"
|
|
|
"
|
high-quality 720p HD movie mode"
|
|
|
"
|
I was very happy to see that Canon has decided to add a High Definition movie mode option to most all of their new consumer models."
|
|
|
|
"
|
accurate exposure"
|
|
|
"
|
correct exposure"
|
|
|
"
|
I was especially glad to see that that Canon has continued the use of the zoom controls mounted around the shutter release, which offers effortless zooming."
|
|
|
|
"
|
The i-Contrast function in the playback menu was very effective."
|
|
|
|
"
|
I found the battery life of this pack was excellent, allowing me to capture over 160 sample files and conclude almost all of our other tests on a single charge."
|
|
|
|
|
|
"
|
detailed, punchy, consumer-friendly image"
|
|
|
|
"
|
This is however in-line with most other compacts offering HD movies, and of course results in more manageable file sizes, not to mention easier playback."
|
|
|
|
"
|
active focus area"
|
|
|
"
|
fairly consistent optical sharpness"
|
|
|

only an increasingly fuzzy digital zoom"
|
|
|

powerful flash"
|
|
|
"
|
No wide-angle lens or manual controls"

|
Small controls, LCD, and zoom range."
|
|
|
|
|
|
"
|
us a nice, sharp picture"
|
|
|
"
|
Colors were nearly identical, and the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS granted us with a bright, vibrant palette characteristic of every PowerShot we've seen within the last few years."
|
|
|
|
"
|
sharpness and exposure are very impressive for a camera that can fit inside a box of raisins."
|
|
|
|
"
|
standard 4-way directional pad and button cluster configuration"
|
|
|
"
|
Buttons are fairly standard on the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS, including a 4-way directional pad with quick functions and three administrative buttons."
