Canon SD780IS - Now You Can Take Great Pictures Anywhere, Anytime...
Canon's new SD780IS might be the most slim and compact model of digital camera the company has made yet, but the size can be deceiving. This little digital camera is about 3.5" by 2" and less than an inch thick, allowing it to be taken anywhere without weighing you down - it fits easily even in a shirt pocket, but packs a lot of features and offers the kind of image quality you'd expect from a significantly larger camera.
With a 12.1 megapixel CCD sensor, the SD780 IS captures amazingly clear, crisp pictures at resolutions of up to 4,000 x 3,000 which retain their clarity and their detail even when printed out at poster size. This camera also has video capture capabilities including HD video with resolutions of up to 1280 x 720, great for viewing on a television thanks to the included AV cable as well as on a PC or Mac.
The Canon SD780IS uses Canon's DIGIC4 image processor to provide advanced Face Detection and even a Face Detection Self-Timer feature which lets the photographer get into the picture; and stay in focus since the camera won't snap the picture until the new face is in the picture and fully in focus. There is also a Face Detection and Tracking function which keeps the focus on your subjects even while they're in motion, all with automatic adjustment of exposure, white balance and flash which delivers sharp photos with skin tones realistically rendered.
Other features included in the SD780IS include Red Eye Correction and Canon Intelligent Contrast (I-Contrast) to remove red eye and contrast problems with dark subjects against lighter backgrounds without making light areas too light; these features can be used while you snap your picture or even afterwards. It's like having another chance to capture the moment.
The LCD viewfinder screen is bright and provides a sharp image with realistic colors and there is also an optical viewfinder included for those who prefer to compose their shots unaided. With high sensitivity, image stabilization technology, advanced face detection features, HD video recording capabilities and incredible 12.1 megapixel picture quality, the Canon SD780 is a small package which holds some big features for the casual and intermediate digital photographer alike.
