Canon PowerShot SD780IS

LCD and a 3x optical image stabilized zoom. As already stated it’s the slimmest ELPH Canon has produced with a width of 0.7 inches.

The Canon PowerShot SD780IS was introduced to the US market early March 2009 and has many great features. It’s the slimmest digital ELPH Canon has produced so far but its small body packs a real punch. The term ‘ELPH’, before you ask, is a mixture of the word ‘elf’ (for a camera that is tiny and magical) and the word ‘photograph.’ Besides being remarkable promoting, the use of a non-standard spelling of ‘elf’ makes it a defensible trademark.

Looking briefly at some of the highlights of this camera we are able to see that it has: HD film shooting capacity and HDMI output. This permits you record video in beautiful high definition (1280 x 720 pixels).

By setting the Canon Powershot SD780 IS to smart auto the camera immediately selects an acceptable setting from eighteen specifically outlined settings. You just have to concentrate on shooting the picture, Canon technology will look after the rest.

A Face Detection Self-Timer immediately detects a rise in the number of faces and makes the appropriate adjustments. The camera will now wait for the your face to move into the frame before it takes the peerlessly targeted shot.

This is possible because of the advanced DIGIC four image processor on board the camera. This delivers 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 pictures. Firstly red eye is detected and corrected during shooting, secondly the camera can be set to mechanically 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.

This is an original scene recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon.

This camera has other great features apart from those touched on here. Really Canon are doing their best with this camera to make it as simple as practical for you to take great pictures 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.
