Canon Powershot SD780IS Digital Camera

Introduced in America during March 2009, the Canon Powershot is a great little camera with many great features. Being the slimmest digital camera Canon has developed to date being so small it really takes a hit.

There are 4 colors the camera is in, they are black, silver, gold and deep red. Being a 12.1 megapixel digital camera and a 2.5 inch LCD with 3X optical image stabilizer zoom. The width of the Canon Powershot SD780IS is an amazing 0.7 inches combined with height and width of 3.4 and 2.1 inches along with weight of just 4.2 ounces.

Highlights include HD movie shooting with HDMI output that allows you to record video in beautiful high definition you can then enjoy your movie and stills on your HDTV using the mini-HDMI connector with no degredation of the image.

There are 18 specially designed settings that allow you to concentrate on shooting pictures while Canon does the rest. Just set to smart auto and the camera picks from the 18 settings.

Face detection self-timer automatically detects number of faces for appropriate adjustments. Taking a photo of a group on self timer is great, it waits until your face is completely in the picture and focused for the perfect shot. This is all possible from the face detection technology Canon uses, they use what is called the advanced DIGIC 4 image processor to track the faces of moving objects until its ready to shoot to perform the perfect focus.

Canon provides three options for removing red eye from flash photographs, first red eye is detected during the shot, second the camera automatically corrects the red eye during image playback and then you can manually locate the red eye in the scene playback on the LCD screen and manually remove them.
