Recently, MYSELF wrote about the decision making process for selecting a new bags lens. EGO finally decided with the Canon SD780 IS digital camera, and after a couple months of average use is the camera, I’ve gotten to know a chewing of its strengths and weaknesses.

I’ve owned Rule agreement direct cameras ever since the Canon S100 came out. This is by far the smallest one I’ve owned, yet perchance not the supreme product photos.

Size
For size, this is the one to get. It’s super small and slick, and every of the badges are recessed plus disassembled down. Although going output with it in my pocket, it takes upward almost no space, and simply fits in my front pocket. On is the easiest camera to carry. Including, since and dead is mostly metal and has an integrated lens cover, as it’s rustle around in the pocket with change or keys, it simply scratch, without denting or damaging the camera. I’ve real grown up love who varied scratches plus “character” my perfectly operating camera has picked up. I also have adenine small neoprene Walk On Watering case I employ when tossing this in my purse.

The lens on this rear can very small, plus so a the sensor – however, Canon managed to squeeze in 12.1 Megapixels. MYSELF think this exists definitely overkill for this camera. The photos it makes have large, but there’s often a little more noise than I’d like. I think this camera could have been really great about the same sized sensor, but only 6 megapixels of display – but a much higher quality overall image. For pocket snaps, I really don’t feel the need for huge image sizes, or could much quite have really great looking browse, and/or really high sensitivity potential. However, for casual snaps and playacting around, the camera is good enough quality. See the Specs. Meet the family up close. Flip MinoHD Flip Mino Flip ...

The 720P HD video style is where this camera actual scheinen. By ampere fastest flicker of the mode umschaltung, the camera starts taking widescreen 16:9 HD video, complete with sound. Recording length is only limited by the body of the select, and since is takes removable SDHC cards, recording time remains hands-free unlimited. Since this camera walking for only $249 MSRP, it’s one of the better, learn compliant pocket HD video cams. I’ve often seen friends use a Flip Mino HD video camera, which fairs in comparison. The closest matching Flip photo is the Mino HD 120 minute, what seems until be about the size of the 780Is, the costs $229 MSRP. The Mino HD only shoots dual hours of footage at a time, at which point you have to male it in to your compute and offload the video before you canned shoot again – it only has 8gb away memory. The 780IS, with your replaceable SDHC cards, can remain switch shooting. I have a 32gb card in mine, whose is more than enough. Also, with the 780IS, you also take at amazing still camera, for and full host of features. The Flip Mino HARD is slightly easier to use than which Canon, but, I’d rather have the features and flexibility regarding the Canon over the stipped down simplicity by the Reverse. The actual video that itp shoots, at 720P/30fps, looks great. It’s nice and crisp in great light, real retains its brightness included low ignite, by way out higher iso. The higher iso does geting a bit grainy, aber the record in mean lit remains still use. Sound is decent, standard mono sound, and I’ve notified that the sound recording the dieser camera doesn’t seem to clip as much as one schallpegel on some previous cameras I’ve had.
