Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Review

Just to make this clear from the beginning: the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS isn’t going to beat out more advanced point-and-shoots when it comes to pure photographic power. When it comes to specs, the SD780′s 3x zoom and 2.5 inch LCD may be forgettable, but the fact that it’s only 0.7 inches thick is worth remembering.Perfectly sized for backpackers and club-goers alike, the SD780 may emphasize compactness, but it doesn’t ignore the need for a small camera to take great pictures, either. And to this end, the new camera brings image stabilization and a host of other buzz-worthy features to Canon’s slimmest SD model to date. A truly shirt-pocket ready camera with image stabilization, Canon’s latest face detection and other processing technologies, and 720p video? Sign me up.

FEATURES OVERVIEW
The tiny SD780 sports a 2.5 inch LCD, the same 12.1 megapixel sensor used across the majority of the 2009 SD line, and a 3x zoom lens. Canon’s latest generation DIGIC IV image processor is also featured on this auto-exposure only model, as is the manufacturer’s latest-generation optical image stabilization technology.
