"More than happy, And I also have a professional Camera." on by angelanais
Pros: nice quality images, lots of features. Love color accent feature.
Cons: No Cons so far.
Summary: I have a Nikon D80 with several lenses. I can't call me a professional photographer but I know a lot about photography. I decide to buy a compact digital camera since at many of the last concerts I was unable to get in the professional camera. I try other cameras from Sony and Fujifilm. Overall, Canon create nices pictures at different configurations (day, night, indoor, outdoor, moving things,etc). I'm really happy with this camera and the feature it bring.
So I have the best of two world, a professional camera for professional works and a nice compact camera with really nice quality photos. -
"An ultra-compact camera with a brilliant 3 inch screen and superb build quality." on by aaybee
Pros: Large wide viewing angle screen, very thin and compact, good quality pictures
Cons: Auto-focus does not work during a movie, no battery indicator on the screen.
Summary: I have owned this camera for a bit over a week and have explored most of its features. It is my third ultra-compact digital camera and overall I am pleased with it.
In most respects I am VERY pleased with it, but one aspect which is very disappointing to me is that auto focus is disabled in movie mode!
I know that many ultra-compacts disable ZOOM in movie mode, (to cut out noise pick-up) but to disable FOCUS as well is very bad and is a real issue for me because I have a need to take close up videos.
In Movie Mode the camera focus's the first frame only so if you change the subject distance after that then you will get a blurry movie.
I use the camera in Manual mode all the time because in Auto mode too many things are disabled. For instance you can't have forced (fill-in) flash, you can't trim the exposure, you can't select a particular ISO value etc.
The auto white balance works well and is the best I have seen, so that is one parameter that doesn't usually need to be fiddled with.
I like the fact that Canon now provide on-screen information about the f-number, ISO, and shutter speed.(This information comes up when the shutter button is half pressed).
I also like it that you can have the camera create automatic FOLDERS for you. I set it to create a new folder each month.
The Face Detect focus mode usually works but doesn't really do anything useful; I leave it turned off.
For awhile I couldn't work out why my flash pictures were quite blurry until I realised that "slow synchro" was turned ON. Leave this OFF unless you are shooting in a fairly darkened situation.
Overall the camera is a joy to use and takes very nice pictures. I wanted an ultra-compact with a big screen and this camera certainly fits the bill and has the renowned Canon build-quality as well. -
"undeniable performance, typical of canon ;-)" on by packratako
Pros: Very quick shutter speeds, easy to learn, use and configure the settings, picture quality is excellent.
Cons: No optical view finder (not a big deal thats old now anyway), No battery bars but warns you when battery is low.
Summary: My Opinion:
I love this camera ever since i saw it on the internet I tried to find the best deal i could. The performance of this camera overhauls that of my old 4.1MP toshiba camera that randomly stopped working.
The canon sd750 black design is very nicely done, it still has its subtle lines while the 3"LCD screen provides the outstanding picture quality and its major bling factor! Sometimes I think the picture quality on this LCD is better than that of my PC's LCD screen. =P the shutter speed and loading times are ridiculously fast. i can take pic after pic (without flash) without the camera hesitating to take a break and load the pictures into the sdcard. Keep in mind i have an old 128mb sd card that has normal loading speeds. So you can imagine a faster and newer sd cards will do even faster shoot and save speeds. There are plenty of settings to play around with and battery life is very long.
definite key features are as listed.
There were only a couple things i didnt like:
1. there is no battery bar meter
- It does warn you when its getting low but i recommend getting a spare battery or just to charge the battery before you go.
The nice thing about the Li-ion battery is that you dont have to wait to fully discharge just to recharge the battery because the battery has no memory, meaning charge and charge away and your battery will still last a while.
2. I took some night pics and it didnt come out as clear (without flash) there were some white dots all over. but then again that was only at iso800 and at fine setting. I could have increased it to iso1600 and superfine setting. Also even at night i can still see what I am taking a picture of. Whereas my old camera and others I have tested, at night the canon is still better for its price. Again this is no flash, with flash the pics are phenomenal at night. And if you are a night person you can purchase an external flash that flashes up to 30 feet.
Overall: I am very happy with my camera. Lots of features for the price. check out this camera in person to test it out yourself, it is a phenomenal camera that words cant describe well. Also if you want better pics go to canon usa online and you can see better pics of how this camera looks like. Honestly when i first saw these pics on cnet i almost didnt get it. When i checked canons' site and saw it person to confirm, the camera just made me drool all the way home. =P -
"Takes purple photos" on by pasadenaviews
Pros: compact size
Cons: funky charger
all photos are purple
Canon doesn't stand behind their productSummary: Paid over $300 for this camera for my daughter. A year later, as soon as the warrant expired, camera that had very limited use started taking purple photos. 9 out of 10 photos are purple. Called Canon... rep advised to send it in for repair $110. What a lemon! I own a Kodak V705 which is getting constant use - no problems at all. I am not buying another Canon.

"Slim-nice screen-easy to use" on by PrivettP
Pros: Light, nice large screen-good photos and movies
Cons: Cannot Power camera through wall plug
Summary: My overall opinion of the camera is it is easy to use. Has a little difficulty in bright lights and dark. The camera is easy to use and I enjoy the slender feel of the camera. Based on previous reviews I'm taking very close attention not to bang or drop this or do anything to hit the lens. Picture quality is very nice. I paid $150.00 for this and for the price it's very nice . One quality I dislike in all Cannon cameras and have no idea why this is so is there is no means to charge the camera using an external power supply like a wall socket or car lighter. That means each time you battery runs down, you need recharge the battery and also put a lot more wear and tear on the camera door and pins the batteries use in the camera.
There is camera that photographs better in the dark/brightness with the same size screen, and can recharge using a wall socket/Car lighter. But that costs about $80.00. If I had that money or discovered it prior to my purchase, I may have bought that because I'm a little lazy. But I'm enjoying this one very much. For the price, I don't believe I could have purchased a better camera. This works great on my Mac-both photos and small movies. If Cannon had a charging system from the wall outlet, I would give it a 9.5. If it worked better in bright / dark light, It would go to a 10. Would like to see a manual mode for the lens where I don't have to rely on the motor if something ever goes wrong with it.
