Canon PowerShot SD790IS 10MP Digital Camera

I had it on a shoe lace around my neck on my Pacific northwest adventure tour of 2366 miles, taking pictures at 65 miles per hour with my left hand and I thought the camera performed flawlessly, in all types of weather conditions.
the pictures turned out great, the on/off button was a little too close to the picture taking button, sometimes turning the camera off in the excitement of the moment.otherwise a great camera, highly reccommended.

I got this camera as a gift for christmas 2008. Usually I use Nikon so I was a litle reluctant to think of this one as nothing more than just "basic." Wrong! It took me a a day or so to read the manual and get used to the settings but after that I was shooting classics. If you want a day/date stamp it will do it but only on the lower pixel end. If you want to shoot 3648x2736 or something like that you won't be able to set a day/date stamp on it. Only with the software when you're done shooting. I shoot on the high end and then order 11x16 or 16x22 photos or poster prints. The pictures framed look just like pictures taken at a portrait studio. Even the 1600x1200 look great blown up.

I am not very keen on photo techniques for shooting pics. But with this little camera I enjoy learning and making history moments with my 2 year old son. The camera even has a a video and voice cam. I use like an 8GB SD card when I do that so I have more storage space. The LCD screen is really excellent I am not kidding.

I love setting the camera on "kids and pets" for those fast action shots. Ever try catching a two 1/2 year old standing still? It ain't easy let me tell you. I took him to a studio before I bought this camera and the guy shot like 150 photos to get just three good ones! Now if you was using film you would be spending a ton of money trying to get a good shot. With this camera you can shoot continuous rapid shots (if you want) or close ups and when you're done you can delete the ones you don't want or upload them to your computer and edit from there. I shoot and transfer to my computer and order prints online. Or take them into a dock at CVS drugs.(A cameras pictures are only as good as the company that developes them.)

This one is made in Japan. I have not had any problems with it even after my son knocked it on the floor from my book cabinet. My portable DVD player didn't fair so well. If you want to test something see what happens after a two Y.O. gets a hold of it.

There are 100's of cameras on the market but this is a good dependable little camera. Shop around read reviews before you buy. Canon PowerShot SD790IS 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized ZoomI wouldn't pay more than 299.00 for it. I paid that much but I have seen them as low as 235.00. Happy shoot'n!

I just took this camera to Prague, and I have to say I am really happy with my purchase. This camera is extremely good at taking sharp pictures. In the Cathedrals, and other locations that did not allow flash photography I was able to take great shots in low light after disabling the flash - this was awful on my previous camera. The camera is complex and I was still learning as I went along on my trip but the images are amazing - just might want to spend some time before you take it on a long trip. Also its small enough to easily stick in your front pocket so that you can forget about it until you want to pull it out for a picture. I have no issues recommending this camera!

I have not had the camera long enough to become thoroughly familiar with all of its features or any limitatins.

Purchased this camera because I dropped our last one on a concrete floor and fractured the lens. I love this camera, it's easy to use, takes great pictures, has the image stability feature which in a small camera is a must.
