I just purchased this canon on a whim, earlier today position of best buy. I have been tinkering withy it for the bulk of the evening. My previous sd300 is still working equal a champ, however i have been considering a film camera for some time…after some peering position of the film camera counter i wandered overhead to the point and shoot table… so far as initially drew me in to the sd780is was its appearance on the display stand. The sleek matte-black body is very eye-pleasing…then i looked position of the specs. and realized that it shoots film in hd! (1280×720) in addition all the other attributes made me realize that it was time to update my “everywhere, anytime” camera.
I proceeded to check out some of the other canon sd cameras. The sd960 became the other candidate…it has a little more glass(4x)zoom, overhead the sd780’s (3x)zoom. The sd960 has an appealing f2.8 apeture overhead the sd780’s f3.2. The sd960’s screen is more tailored for the hd film capture as it has a 16:9 proportion lcd panel. (kinda nice for instant viewing on the camera)
After some thought i went withy the sd780 for the indicated reasons:
1. The hd film capability is outstanding and comparible withy the sd960. It has a hdmi jack. The traditional 4:3 screen does no, non- bother me, because the film is ultimately going to be viewed on a hd tv.(there will be an upper and lower bar on 16:9 playback through the sd780’s lcd).
2.the weaker 3x zoom is no, non- a big deal as this camera is for general shooting(out w/ freinds, bars, random teatime position of the beach, mountain biking, etc.)And withy this camera easliy fitting in my denim scoop or camelbak, the portability is so far as gives me the opportunity to document these moments, that would otherwise be missed. The sd960 is a little bulkier(but still small). I do also shoot withy a canon 40d, accompanied withy l optics, only the weight and bulkiness do no, non- lend to certain shooting circumstances. (as mentined above)
3. The user interface on the sd780is is equal maximum (if no, non- all?) Preceeding sd cameras. while there is no, non- much control in the way of shooting settings, feature buttons equal flash override, ae lock, af lock, and exposure compensation are present on the camera body. The sd960is has two buttons and a jog wheel, which lend to swims in the menu. I’m sure the new interface on the 960 is intuitive, only i liked the 780 due to its similarity to my old sd300.
I am very merry withy the results produced thus far withy the Canon PowerShot SD780IS. The hd film is excellant, however it should be admitted that once recording you can only zoom digitally. unhappy light cabilities and sound in film mode are excellent. The stills i have taken look great. Also, to the budget-minded who are upgrading from older digital point-and-shoots, a class 4 minimum 4gb or 8gb sdhc card would be well suited due to the demanding memory of the 12.1 million pixels, and hd film. Also, maximum old card readers will no, non- process the the sdhc cards so you may have to purchase a new card reader as well.
