The Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Digital Elph Digital Camera provides a 12.1 megapixel resolution and a 3x Optical Zoom lens with Canon's renowned Optical Image Stabilization system to produce excellent image quality, even under low light shooting conditions. The camera incorporates the exclusive DIGIC 4 image processor which offers impressive response times and also powers Canon's unique Face Detection and Noise Reduction Technologies, making it easier for users to capture sharp, well-exposed images in any shooting situation. Furthermore, the 2.5" PureColor II LCD display has a tough scratch-resistant and anti-reflective coating featuring Night Display for easy viewing in low light. The camera also has a real-image optical viewfinder, that zooms along with the lens. With all of these premium features, the PowerShot SD780 IS Digital Elph is also incredibly slim, measuring only 0.8" (21 mm) deep, and possesses a clean, minimalist design that evokes the classic Canon Elph film camera.

12.1 Megapixel Resolution
The 12.1 megapixel resolution of the SD780 IS Digital Elph ensures that images are captured with all the detail needed for large photo quality prints
3x Optical Zoom Lens
The genuine Canon 3x optical zoom lens on the SD780 produces images with all the clarity and brilliance you'd expect from a world leader in advanced optics technology. The 3x zoom range can handle most typical shooting situations while the 4x digital zoom is included to get extra close with a combined zoom rage of 12x
Optical Image Stabilizer Technology
The lens of the SD780 is equipped with Canon's acclaimed Optical Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects for camera shake so you'll get steady, crisp, brilliant images - under just about any shooting conditions
Slim, Stylish Design
The SD780 IS has a chic, modern, minimalist design akin to the classic Canon Elph film cameras, with a classic Box & Circle design
DIGIC 4 Processor
Delivering fast, responsive camera performance and superb image rendering, the DIGIC 4 processor also enables Canon's Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Furthermore, the processor incorporates iSAPS scene-recognition technology using an internal database of thousands of different photos to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance
Face Detection Technology
Canon's powerful Face Detection Technology delivers impressive results - simply press the Shutter Button halfway down, and the camera automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. The camera controls exposure settings and flash to keep every face looking bright and natural. The SD780 IS also adds Face Detection White Balance - calculating white balance for the best possible skin tones. Furthermore, the Face Select and Track features lets the SD780 IS Digital ELPH user highlight one face among several in a scene, and the camera concentrates on that person, even as they move around the scene
Face Self-Timer
The innovative Face-Self Timer makes getting into your picture easier than ever. With this mode engaged, the camera automatically detects any increase in the number of faces, makes the appropriate exposure adjustments and snaps the shot when that face stops moving, Now there is no need for the photographer to rush into a group shot- just put the camera on a stand or tripod, and the camera will wait for the photographer and all of the others in the shot to get on-camera before it takes the shot. In addition, the camera's motion detection system now tracks moving subjects in a much larger range, and the Servo AF retains focus on a moving subject for the perfect shot, without the need to refocus
Advanced Red-eye Correction
Canon's Red-eye Correction system lets you handle Red-eye problems in two ways. The Red-eye Correction can be applied during shooting by using the Face Detection Technology to recognize and remove red-eye from flash images as they're taken, before the file is written to the memory card. It's also possible to correct red-eye during image playback, using simple settings in the cameras menu
Intelligent Contrast Correction
The DIGIC 4 processor enables Canon's exclusive i-Contrast (Intelligent Contrast Correction) system, which brightens dark areas while leaving bright areas unchanged for more natural looking images, even in bright daylight where shadow details can be lost. Users can even apply i-Contrast in playback mode to adjust images that were shot without the setting activated
High ISO Sensitivity
The PowerShot SD780 features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto setting (equivalent to ISO 3200) that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, or when shooting fast-moving subjects, giving you greater flexibility for shooting
Shoot & View Video in HD
The PowerShot SD780 IS can record high definition video (1280 x 720@ 30 fps), as well as standard and low resolution video. The camera can also play back video and still images onto an HDTV with the purchase of an optional mini-HDMI connector so you can enjoy HD video and images with no degradation of the image or sound quality. In addition the HD output allows users to view up to 130 still images at once in a thumbnail view so you can quickly find your favorite shot
20 Shooting Modes and My Colors Photo Effects
The PowerShot SD780 has 20 easy-to-use shooting modes including a wide selection of Special Scene modes such as Portrait, Indoor and Night Snapshot, and you can quickly access these modes via the Touch Control Dial. The camera also includes My Colors photo effects, which allow artistic photo effects like color accent and color swap to be applied in-camera both during and after shooting
Smart Auto Mode
The Smart Auto mode intelligently selects from 18 predefined shooting modes to match the camera settings to the needs of your intended scene. With Smart Auto, you can completely concentrate on your subject knowing that the camera has optimized all of the settings for you, and you can be confident that you're getting beautiful, memorable images
High-Resolution 2.5" PureColor II LCD
The 2.5" LCD screen provides vivid, high-resolution viewing and is protected by a scratch-resistant anti-reflection coating for easy on-camera viewing. Whether you're shooting, reviewing or showing off your images, the PureColor LCD screen offers a crisp, clear picture to make shooting, playback and using the camera's menu functions especially convenient

This is a great all in one camera. It is fast and with 13.1 megapixels takes great photos. The LCD screen is huge and clear. It has many settings such as kids and pets, sports, beach, snow, there are too many to mention. It takes video in HD and if you have an HDMI cable, you can hook it up to an HDTV and relieve the experience as if you were there again. The only negatives I have are that the viewfinder is very small and the controls are tiny, so if you have large fingers, it may be a problem. The battery life is long. I used it on a 6 day vacation and did not have to recharge once.

I bought this camera for my girlfriend's birthday. She loved how sleek it was, and the red color makes it very classy for a girl. The camera is very easy to use and fits easily in a pocket. However, when i looked carefully at the photos, i noticed that they are pretty grainy. So if quality matters to you (as it does to me), I would look for other cameras. My gf had an older hp camera, and she was always complaining about the quality, and this one didn't seem to be much of an improvement, although the 12 MP clearly helps. I have a Casio point-and-shoot that takes impeccable photos, but it's been discontinued a long time ago. I would have bought one of those instead if I could.

    Comments about Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Digital Camera (Red):

    The Canon sd780 is a wisp of a camera (I bought another because I lost the first). I use it for stills because it is tiny and easy to carry. The video capture is great, however, you can't zoom in-and-out while videoing. Set the zoom you want before switching to video. I have the underwater housing for this camera and have taken decent snorkeling videos. The sound is muffled, however. I recommend the Hero or an 'unsurrounded camera' if you want decent sound. The camera is great for family videos, sports plays, and dance rehearsals.

      I had this camera before and got a speck of dust in the lense. Camera shops wanted to send it to Canon to be repaired, but it was going to cost $100. I bought a refurbished one here for [$]. It is the smallest camera I have ever owned, and it takes wonderful pictures. Red eye is infrequent, and the outdoor pictures are phenomenal. There is a very short lag between photos, and it is a very easy-to-use point and shoot camera.

      This was an upgrade from the a540 for me.

      I love the rechargeable battery. When this camera was new and I had no dSLR yet, I used it constantly! So compact, I forget it's even in my purse. I did not have the charge the battery for 2.5 months of CONSTANT use! I charge it every now and again just in case the standby wears off, but I have had it since January 2010 I believe, and have only charged it a small number of times.

      I have gotten some amazing photos out of this camera, it has held up nicely. The macro is great.

      The only thing I miss that the a540 had is manual controls.

        pros- takes amazing outside shots, i set it for indoor when i want to shoot inside. great video, very crisp and clear. zoom, flash work very well. action shots need to be taken on a manual setting. auto will not capture them due to delay. easy to use- good flash choice for the most part. color shots outdoors is unreal, crisp and clarity

        cons:lag time can be long...especially when on auto. this is my only con.

        love this camera...my second canon product...drops easily into a pocket.

                  You really get you're money's worth!! It takes amazing pictures even when it's zoomed in 12x digital zoom!
                  The one thing I don't like is that in order to develop them into 4x6 pictures, you have to go through each one and crop a little from the top and bottom (meaning you can't alter the aspect ratio)which is kind of a pain. But other than that, it's really a fantastic camera, indoors and out. A great small size literally fits in your pocket!

                  I have been taking pictures for a long time, but this is my first time I've bought canon and it is really a good choice. It's simple, easy to use and takes good pictures. In addition I love the design of this camera. One thing isn't convenient to me is that it takes some time before taking another picture. Overall it's a good camera for the price.

                    I'm not the most technology-savvy person, but this camera is easy to use. I bought this camera when I lost my Panasonic Lumix. It has many of the same features, but is lighter, more compact, and has some added features (i.e., HD video).

                    My one main concern so far is that the speed in between taking pictures is a bit slow, even though I have a high speed memory card. Additionally, in a few instances, the flash has turned itself off in dim light situations. The battery died quicker than I expected.

                      This camera was purchased to replace a Canon SD 360 that we had used for several years. The SD780 produces much crisper images than the SD 360 and has far improved shutter lag time. The images are not as crisp as a Nikon D70 DSLR that I have, but the convenience of the camera's size means that we will not miss quick snapshots.

                        I purchased the PowerShot SD780 after reading positive online reviews on a few sites. I have a bigger digital SLR camera but wanted to replace my ancient Canon Elph, which I loved to bring in my purse when I am out and about. This cute little red camera is perfect so far! The size is amazingly small, the photos are great, and I adore the bright color. I am very happy with this purchase!

                        I love this camera in every way except the zoom. I would not buy this camera again, unless it had a better zoom. I am hoping I can return it and get one exactly the same but with a better zoom. I thought it wouldn't bother me so much, but 3x's is not very much. I wish I had heard this review before I purchased the camera. It really is perfect in every other way. I hope I can find one that zooms more like 10 x's, I"m not sure even the 5x's would cut it for me.

                        My wife had a Canon SD1100 (with viewfinder) which was stolen on our last trip. This was purchased as a replacement but the veiwfinder appears smaller and the viewfinder image is smaller than the actual photo. We returned it and are waitting to review Canon's new models.

                            I love the vibrant color red of this camera, but that's not all... The SD780 IS is the size of my cell phone and easily carried in the palmb of my hand or a pocket. At first I was scared of how small it was and worried it would be difficult to use. It has turned out to be a great feature. I would recommend always using a neck or hand strap, as the camera body is quite slick and easily slips through fingers.
                            I am also inpressed by the image quality and clearness of the LCD. I have been having fun capturing shots of my active 3 year old with no trouble thanks to the image stabilazation and short lag time in turning on and taking back to back shots.
                            Great Little Red Camera!

                            For everyday photos - family, friends, etc. I love the color because its different and easy to find in my bag. The pictures come out great - especially blue eyes, which usually dont come out great.

                            I use this camera at least once a week and so far so good. This is the 2nd SD700 series that I purchased. The first one failed to turn on due to the on/off switch. The thing that I like about this little camera is picture quality and compactness of it. The things I don't like about it, it's too complicated to operate for a novice user.

                            I bought this camera for my girlfriend's birthday. She loved how sleek it was, and the red color makes it very classy for a girl. The camera is very easy to use and fits easily in a pocket. However, when i looked carefully at the photos, i noticed that they are pretty grainy. So if quality matters to you (as it does to me), I would look for other cameras. My gf had an older hp camera, and she was always complaining about the quality, and this one didn't seem to be much of an improvement, although the 12 MP clearly helps. I have a Casio point-and-shoot that takes impeccable photos, but it's been discontinued a long time ago. I would have bought one of those instead if I could.
