10MP Quality! The Ultimate!November 26, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I ruined my `Nikon 7900' 7.0 megapixel camera after three great years by getting it wet. This was upsetting as I had the SCUBA encasement for that model and a ton of accessories. My nephew turned me onto the `Canon SD790IS' (as it also has an optional SCUBA encasement) and I am very happy.
It has more megapixels (10.0) which is top of the line for pixel qualtiy meaning crisper pictures with a larger 2.5-inch LCD monitor and tons of extras. There is an "Optical Image Stabilizer" which reduces the blur of any camera movement, even with low light. There is also a cool feature called, "Face Detection WB" which means the camera concentrates upon faces, then it calculates "white balance" for the best colors and tones. You can also just select ONE face among the group to highlight (think Birthday parties)!
There is a cool "red-eye" correction that identifies and corrects red-eye when pictures are taken. You can also later detect and correct "red-eye" during image playback.
The camera is smaller and thinner than my previous Nikon and it fits very easily into any pocket (be careful!). It's quick, easy and responds readily. It is a great value for the price. The pictures are just as good (maybe better) than my old camera. I can't wait to go diving now so I can try the underwater encasement (accessory). You can also buy a less expensive underwater encasement accessory for up to 15 feet of depth for snorkeling and there is a waterproof encasement accessory for rainy day shooting.
Great camera! Best point-and-shoot I ever had!November 25, 2008 If your looking for the "everything" point&shoot carmera this is it. It does so much and more. It allows me to to take my random picture with friends as well as try out some interesting shots with nature and color. It's a solid piece of equipment and I'm glad I got it. The large lcd screen is pretty awesome too!
Great little cameraNovember 25, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this to replace an SD700IS that gave up the ghost (CCD problems) after 2 years of hard use. The SD790IS is a big improvement in a lot of areas.
The facial recognition feature is great for candid shots. It was sometimes tricky to get faces in focus on the old camera. With this, it finds the faces and uses that to focus on.
I also like the new controls. No more knob to clunk back and forth. The most used functions (video, profiles, manual) are accessed via a sliding switch. And there's a dedicated button to go to picture review.
The only downsides are lack of an optical viewfinder, and less optical zoom than my previous camera (3x instead of 4x). So far I haven't missed either.
Great CameraNovember 24, 2008 I really can't think of anything that is wrong with this camera. I especially love the long battery life. Picture quality is good, compact a great everyday camera that is easy to use and puts out good pictures
All around excellentNovember 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Overall, it takes wonderful photos. The only downfall is the small amount of zoom. Other than that, I am more than thrilled with my purchase! I definitely recommend it!
