Canon PowerShot SD780IS

The camera comes in four colors, black, silver, gold and deep red. LCD and a 3x optical image stabilised zoom. As already stated it is the slimmest ELPH Canon has produced with a width of 0.7 inches. Mixed with a width and height of just 3.4 and 2.1 inches and weighing in at 4.2 oz., it really is small.

The Canon PowerShot SD780IS was introduced to the US market early March 2009 and has many great features. It is the slimmest digital ELPH Canon has produced so far but its tiny body packs a real punch. The term 'ELPH', before you ask, is a combination of the word 'elf' ( for a camera that is tiny and magical) and the word 'photograph.' Besides being unusual promoting, the use of a non-standard spelling of 'elf' makes it a defensible trademark.
This permits you record video in pretty hi-def ( 1280 x 720 pixels). You can then enjoy your flick, and still pics as well, on your HDTV by using the mini-HDMI connector with no degradation of the image.

By setting the Canon Powershot SD780 IS to smart vehicle the camera instantly selects a suitable setting from eighteen specifically outlined settings.
So if you are taking a group photograph and want to incorporate the yourself, just put the camera on a tripod and select Face Detection Self Timer. The camera will now wait for the your face to move into the frame before it takes the perfectly focused shot.
This is possible due to the sophisticated DIGIC 4 image processor on board the camera. This de.livers evolved Face Detection Technology that keeps every face in every photo looking its very best. The technology finds and tracks the faces of moving subjects until you're ready to shoot, then delivers perfect focus.

Ref eye correction is not new but the Canon Powershot SD780IS provides three options for removing red eye from your flash photographs. Firstly red eye is detected and corrected during shooting, secondly the camera can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during image playback. Finally you can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove them.

Another piece of technology on board the PowerShot SD780IS is iSAPS. This is an original scene recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.

This camera has other great features apart from those touched on here. All in all Canon are doing their best with this camera to make it as easy as possible for you to take great photos and videos each and every time. It fits easily into a purse or shirt pocket ready to shoot video and capture images at a seconds notice.
