Canon PowerShot SD780

February 18, 2009 | by DigitalCameraReview Staff

One of Canon’s slimmest cameras, the SD780 features a 2.5 inch LCD, optical image stabilization, and HD video capture in 1280×720 resolution.

Pros
- Seemingly indestructible build quality and fantastic styling
- Impressively reliable metering/exposure
- Bold, vibrant colors make outdoor shots ideal for from-camera printing
- Video capture looks very nice
- Smart Auto mode is effective and easy to use
- Snappy, unflappable auto focus
Cons
- Noisy shots, even at low ISOs
- Occasional flash quirks in Smart Auto mode
- Screen and body stay clean, but scratch easier than previous SDs
- Images get muddy on the telephoto end
