Tiny viewfinder. Weedy optical zoom. Weak HD movies
Those who choose the Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS as their travel companion of choice are obviously favouring portability (or fashion) above all else, but luckily the camera doesnt fall down on performance, and, given its diminutive dimensions, its a s...
The Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH aka Digital IXUS 100 is a stylish, small digital camera that has high-resolution, a HD movie mode and optical viewfinder. As you can probably tell, the SD780 won’t have any problems fitting into even the sma...
Super Compact and visually appealing. Great overall image performance. Excellent menus and impressive features. ...
Small LCD. Difficult to stabilize due to camera’s size. Inadequate viewfinder. ...
This is a compact that will sell just because of its ultra portable size, but there’s no denying the fact that the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS is much more than just a pocket-friendly smooth talker. Most other tiny compacts in this class can walk the w...
Very slim, Smooth corners make it easily pocketable, Optical image stabilization, HD movie mode, HDMI output, Face detection works well and fast, Auto mode switches intelligently among Scene modes, 2.5-inch LCD has good contrast, wide viewing angle, Ve...
Optical viewfinder is very small, Small buttons may be difficult to operate for those with larger hands, No grip means that the camera is harder to hold, Below average battery life, Some image corners are quite soft, Lens flare damages overall contrast...
I hand-picked the Canon SD780 IS from the range of Spring 2009 digital cameras, hoping it would be a good performer, as I expect its appearance alone to make it a great seller. Weve even see other sites give it a positive review. Though we really li...
Abstract: COLOR, STYLE AND PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPERTISE INSPIRE CANONS NEW 2009 POWERSHOT LINE-UP LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., February 17, 2009 - Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, today introduced 10 new PowerShot cameras that offer an array of photographic op...
Seemingly indestructible build quality and fantastic styling, Impressively reliable metering/exposure, Bold, vibrant colors make outdoor shots ideal for fromcamera printing, Video capture looks very nice, Smart Auto mode is effective and easy to use, Snappy, unflappable auto focus,
Noisy shots, even at low ISOs, Occasional flash quirks in Smart Auto mode, Screen and body stay clean, but scratch easier than previous SDs, Images get muddy on the telephoto end,
Look at the SD780's specs sheet basics – 3x zoom, 2.5 inch LCD, tiny viewfinder, and few controls designed to appeal to advanced shooters – and its list price of just a shade under $300 looks hard to justify. Shoot with the camera for a little while, t...
Excellent image quality. Lower noise at high ISOs than previous generations. Records high-definition video. Mini HDMI-out. Small and thin. Fast operation. Sharp screen.
Small screen. Average amount of shutter lag. Viewfinder is tiny and useless.
The SD780 IS, Canons least-expensive HD-capable point-and-shooter, is probably smaller than many smartphones and takes excellent images....
Very slim and stylish compact, HD movies at 720p and HDMI port, Good Auto with Scene Detection, Great screen with optional viewfinder.
Average 3x zoom range and no 28mm, Soft corners at wider focal lengths, No optical zoom during movies, Pointlessly slow 0.8fps ‘burst’ rate.
Much of the appeal of the IXUS 100 IS / SD780 IS of course lies with its physical build and appearance. See it in the flesh and it’s a real head-turner, and the first model we’ve tested in a long while to attract admiring comments from almost...
Small, sleek design , HD video , Optical viewfinder , Good implementation of automatic mode and scene selection , Did we mention it's gorgeous?
Scratches and marks easily , No wide-angle lens , Relatively small 3x optical zoom
The IXUS 100 IS manages to pair a sleek and sexy chassis with a very competent image-taking base and HD recording. If only it had a wide-angle lens and a slightly longer zoom it would easily win an ...
Good image quality, 720p video mode, endearingly petite
Awkward zoom control, occasional noise issues, no Active Control
The Canon IXUS 100 IS digital camera is a worthy addition to the IXUS line that impresses on most fronts. Its few flaws are made up for by an arresting form factor and solid image quality. Highly recommended. ...
