In most regards, the $279 Canon PowerShot SD780 IS is a solid mid-range point-and-shoot: it has decent image quality, records HD video, and is one of the most attractive pocket cameras we’ve seen in a while. Some flaws, however, such as overexposed...

I hand-picked the Canon SD780 IS from the range of Spring 2009 digital cameras, hoping it would be a good performer, as I expect its appearance alone to make it a great seller. Weve even see other sites give it a positive review. Though we really li...

Seemingly indestructible build quality and fantastic styling, Impressively reliable metering/exposure, Bold, vibrant colors make outdoor shots ideal for fromcamera printing, Video capture looks very nice, Smart Auto mode is effective and easy to use, Snappy, unflappable auto focus,
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,
