I'm a member of Canon Professional Services and make my living using Canon cameras. I have owned a number of point & shoot digital cameras, all Canon. from Amazon.com I had a Canon PS 710IS and decided to change to a SD 780IS due to the tiny size and portability from Amazon.com Great camera for what it is... small, inexpensive and stylish. from Amazon.com One of the problems with writing camera reviews is that people never consider the "space" which this camera occupies in the market. For example, I know that a $200 point and shoot camera will never take as awesome photos as my $3500 digital SLR, or even as my Powershot G10. from Amazon.com We normally don't take that many pictures but there were a few times that my wife wished she had one and when I needed one for work, it was time to start looking. My cousin has the ELPH 1200 10 MP and I noticed it took great pictures. After reading reviews and checking out consumer reports we went with the Canon 780 12 MP. At first my wife thought it was too small when she took it out of the box. from Amazon.com We had to buy a new camera to replace our beloved Canon PowerShot A95 and I have absolutely no complaints about the PowerShot SD780IS. I'm not a professional, just take pictures for myself and I still haven't figured out all the features but it's easy enough for the basics. from Amazon.com Just go to auto mode and shoot away. One of the smartest Auto modes I've used in any camera. Picture is kind of grainy at 100% but who cares. I don't upload 4000x3000 images anyway. from Amazon.com Digital cameras have come a long way since then. Did quite a bit of online research on this camera, mainly looking at Amazon reviews. Considered buying the 1200 model but the reviews about the video quality of the 780 tipped the scales. The size of this camera is remarkably small. from Amazon.com I have no idea of how long this little ELPH will endure heavy use. And there is always the chance that it will get dropped, bumped real hard, or ruined by getting wet. I already own the Canon PowerShot A580. from Amazon.com Had a Canon SD1000 that fell out of a car and was run over on a dirt road. This camera is the same size, though more rounded, with many upgraded features and uses the same battery and memory so we can use them in the new camera as spares. from Amazon.com
