Once I purchased my first canon I would never go back to using any other cheap camera. I have had my camera for 3 yrs and still works like new. Only dropped a couple of times but it barely has a scratch. i had to get this baby because my old canon got washed in the washer. Besides coming out squeaky clean and wet the camera still worked. The lcd just looked pink so i decided to buy this new model. Picture quality in both cameras are beyond excellent; they are perfect. i would not trade it for anything else. once you go canon you will see quality and durability!
*just a note:
Sometimes a purple line comes out in the pictures. Just standing away from the a light source can help eliminate this.
i purchased my camera at $240 here at amazon. has gone up to $500. that price is ridiculous

I bought the SD750, oddly enough, because my son had bought one (using my money, of course!). While I wasn't particularly pleased to see a new camera in his hands and on my dime, I must say that the images he showed me on the on the 3" LCD screen really got my attention: bright, sharp, and clear, with excellent color. Those images came out just the same on both my PC and my Mac Cinema screen, and I liked them so much, I bought the very same camera myself in July, 2007.
Since then, I've had a great time with this little gadget, snapping thousands of photos and learning the literally dozens of features the SD750 sports. The things you can do with it when it's in the manual (or other, non-automatic modes) are amazing and fun, and I've learned a lot about photography and digital photography as I've enjoyed the camera.
I would make a couple of comments about the product and then pose the question that's the title of this posting:
1) The product manual can be helpful, but I found that reading it at the outset was only marginally useful (much to the amusement of my son). I'd say fiddle with camera on your own (yes, as my son had told me at the outset!) and make special use of the "Function/Set" button to get you started into the camera's workings - THEN go back to the manual and start reading; the book will make a lot more sense that way.
2. The camera's lens is a good little lens overall, but the one shortcoming I noticed over time is that it's got a low luminosity/f stop rating of only f/2.8, and this makes for lots/lots of noise in low light, non-flash photo situations. I think Canon could make the SD750 into a perfect little camera if they were somehow able to turn it into an f/2.2 or f/2.0 lens camera. Don't know if this is possible, but Canon ever does this, I want to know about it and buy one!
Finally, the question: What's happened to the price??!!?? I bought this camera in July, 2007 from Amazon, and I've still got the purchase voucher which shows that I bought this very same camera for $259.99 at that time. Usually, over time, I would think that the same camera would become cheaper as newer products go on sale, but instead the price has gone UP by over 50%. Does anyone know why this has happened? |

Had this camera for about 2 years now. It's perfect for taking with you anywhere. (What's the best camera to have?......The one that's WITH you!)
Very unobtrusive to have in a shirt pocket (maybe a little weight noticeable because it's quality and sturdy).
No viewfinder...but you don't miss it! Who needs a viewfinder with this LARGE screen?!
Takes nice video, too.
More features than you'll ever use or need. Battery life is very very good also. I never run out of battery power with it (unless it's cold cold cold outside when I'm skiing).

this is a great camera. it takes great photos and has enough bells and whistles. i use it for video too - perfect for emailing my daughters development to my folks. the best part is that when you press the button it takes the photo - no lag.
only negative is charging. why cant it charge via the mini usb? i dont like carrying an extra charger when i travel. |

| A camera that you can keep in your pocket, take it out when you need it, its pictures are sharp, clear and they can be down loaded onto your computer is just what I needed. For me, the bonus is that you do not need to be an engineer to figure out how to use the camera. I highly recommend this camera to anyone. |

This is the 3rd Cannon Powershot camera we've owned. I loved our last one, but I broke it horse-back riding so we had to replace it. This 7.1 megapixel digital Elph is also a great little camera.
The things I like about it:
-it is small enough to fit in your pocket
-it has a decent zoom
-the battery lasts about 200 non-flash pictures.
-it comes with it's own battery and charger
-you can buy additional batteries for a great price on ebay
-the charger is small
-the charger charges quickly, in about 2 hours
-the enlargements I make are beautiful
-it is a good price
The things I don't like:
-because it is so small, the depth of field is poor
-sometimes the colors are not as vivid as you'd expect
-there is no viewfinder so it is difficult to take pictures if it is really sunny
-it barks when I take a picture (I am sure I can turn it off but until then it is very annoying)
In summary, if you are looking for a compact, easy to use, inexpensive, quality digital camera, I recommend this one. If you want professional quality photos and want to do a lot of fancy things with your camera, I'd choose something else.

 "Sleek camera, nice LCD, but photo quality "so-so"" | 2009-03-08 |

This camera body has an awesome design, I love it. I bought this camera when i lost my sony.
However, I am not impressed by the photo quality. Photos turn out very grainy (compared to the Sony) and I dont think it's color is quite right. The LCD screen has a much higher resolution and color quality than my sony did, but I am constantly disappointed when i download the pictures onto my computer.
Another point of frustration is the way Canon auto-runs when you plug it into your computer. It doesn't give you many useful options when you plug it into your USB port. I HATE WIZARDS! How about giving me the option to access the memory stick in frickin exporer? Even when you manually open the directory in exporer (through "My Computer") it still doesn't behave like a normal folder. Why the bleep cant they let you "cut" and paste instead of copy, paste, delete. It also doesnt let you drag photos into another window!!! To get around this I put the SD card in my card-reader. But, its little things like this that make me want to grab the little software engineer dummy and slap him sensless.
Anyways, I found my sony a couple weeks ago, and I am actually considering selling my SD750 even though my sony is uglier, has a smaller LCD screen, and is about 4mm thicker! |

I already knew this camera to be superb quality because I owned the exact same one for two years, prior to water damage occurring. The price was right ($100 cheaper than when I originally purchased it two years ago), and compared to the physical aspects of the newer Canon cameras and the greater expense, I decided to stick with the same camera I knew and loved and never had any issues with. I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a high quality camera that takes amazing pictures!
Also, the camera arrived two days from the day I purchased it! |

| I bought this camera to replace my sisters old one which was the older model and she loved it. It has so many features and it takes great pictures. It has a big lcd screen which was one of it's selling points for her. Canon makes great camera's and we definitely don't regret buying this one. |

| This camera rocks! I had purched a Kodak before this one and was extremely disappointed in the picture quality and ended up returning it. So, before I bought this camera I really did my homework and made sure that it had all the features I wanted. It has all of that and more! It takes fantatic picutes, its easy to use and the perfect size to ride around in my purse so that its there when I need it! It does not have an optical view finder wich does not bother me because the screen is huge, very clear, and easy to see even in sunlight. |
