Excellent Camera and Great Pictures May 14, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased this SD790IS after having only used Canon cameras through the years. This camera is excellent. The body is made of out of thin metal and is very strong, unlike the SD770IS, which is made out of plastic. Picture quality is also excellent, offering sharp 10MP images. The flash recharge speed is extremely fast when compared to other thin digital cameras. The 3 inch screen is great and I don't miss having an optical viewfinder. Image stabilization is also a nice feature. Overall a great purchase and it was shipped fast from Amazon.com

Canon PowerShot SD790IS 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
I did a lot of research before purchasing this camera. I have been disappointed and frustrated by the last three or four digital cameras I purchased, and got a little wiser this time. I mostly use my cameras for vacations and snapshots, nothing earthshattering, but I have, in the past, had a lot of trouble with blurry, vague, dark pictures, except with my very large digital Kodak, which is too big to take on an upcoming trip.
I purchased a 4G highspeed sd card and an extra battery and leather case along with this camera. When I received it, I charged it, actually read the manual, then started taking lots of photos, and I am having a great time with it. Maybe this will turn me into a half way decent photographer.
My initial battery charge is lasting a very long time, (two weeks +, and it is still fully charged) and the pictures are the best I have ever taken.
I am blown away by all the things this camera will do, and how easy it is to figure out, all in a small but sturdy package.
Most of all, I am super happy with the quality of the photos, and cannot recommend this camera highly enough. I was a little concerned initially at the lack of an optical view finder, but the screen is excellent, and its brightness level is adjustable. The camera turns on and is ready to use almost instantly, and focusses quickly. Pictures turn out sharp and clear, even with the flash, the zoom works easily with a very accessible button, and there is absolutely no red eye.
I cannot give you a very technical review, I am just a regular casual user.
I am very impressed, having fun, and cannot recommend this camera highly enough, it exceeds all my expectations.
Excellent camera, I couln't be happier..!!!! May 4, 2008

I tried several digital cameras before, mostly Sony and Nikon and I kept felling unhappy with the shots taken, finally I decided to give Canon a try, the camera is EXCELLENT, the color quality is precise and the performance is the best I've seen. I am a Canon fan now.

I bought this camera to replace a 3 year old Panasonic. The Canon's features and picture output are great. The image stabilization really works well and allows me to capture on the fly shots of my family. The only negative I have with the camera is a nitpick, its a wee bit too wide, I wish they could have made it a bit smaller.
