Canon PowerShot SD790IS 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom Reviews

Summary: I love it!
Comment: I've had this camera (Canon Power Shot SD790) about a month now and just want to say that I love it! It takes great pics and is easy to use. I like the size of it and how it looks (which I didn't expect to like)... nice and comfortable to hold, easy to take in a pocket or purse. I've had no problem with the wheel on the back ... I still have to study what all of the features/icons are used for yet, so at this time, I am not using it to its full potential. Uploading the pictures to the computer is easy. Takes good pics and of course I LOVE the size of the viewfinder!

Summary: Canon SD 790 IS
Comment: As a user of many of Canon's cameras and camcorders, I have been very satisfied with every one I bought. This is a great camera and Canon continues to improve there lines with each new released camera. I installed a 16 gb card so I can take numerous photos and many movie clips. Anyone looking for a camera like this should have no problem with of Canon SD line of camera, The few nay sayer's in there reviews indicated a lack of understanding or they just like to complain. I highly recommend this camera

Summary: Excellent
Comment: I was always a Sony person and never like the look and feel of Canon. But the end result of this camera are far better then any Sony Camera I have ever used. It may not have the touch screen feature just like some new Sony Cameras but pictures taken from this camera are just awesome......

Summary: Suddenly the choice of Elves became less difficult.
Comment: I originally purchased the SD790 as a birthday gift for my wife as a replacement for her Canon SD600 because I remembered her enthusiastic response upon seeing a 3" viewing screen. When she received it, it soon became clear that her disappointment at the camera's greater overall size and weight, its rather off-beat flat-panel styling, and its more complicated setting system (a rotating ring) made a greater impression than the 1/2" larger viewing screen.

So I exchanged it for the camera I had at first thought was definitely the inferior choice: the SD1100. When the SD1100 first appeared, several camera review sites (and Cnet) greeted it with moderate enthusiasm at best, suggesting it was little more than a cosmetic touch-up (because of the blue, pink, brown colors) of the SD1000. But that's only half true, because the SD1100, like the SD790, incorporates face and motion detection as well as image stabilization. Moreover, the most popular and trusted Consumer Magazine has recently called it the Best Buy available in a point and shoot model of any brand. And if a clincher were needed, Amazon's pricing provided it (currently a difference of sixty). So I ordered the SD1100 (in silver, of course) and, among other things, have become more aware of the advantages that a viewfinder can provide (excessive sun will still wash out the image on a viewing screen; a larger viewing screen is more prone to breakage, in which case a viewfinder becomes indispensable).

I wish I could give the SD790 4 and 1/2 stars because the pictures are equal in quality to the SD1100 (and if it makes you feel any better, the lens boasts an extra 2 megapixels). But the SD1100 adheres more closely to the size, weight, and styling of the Elf that has become a "classic"--and along with the speed, dependability and convenience, it produces pictures to my eyes that are second only to a full-sized SLR camera. On the other hand, if you plan to limit your shooting to indoor portrait photography and to blow up your shots much beyond 10 X 12," the SD790 is a compelling choice among the Elves.
