I bought the Canon SD770IS to substitute a PowerShot A95. Few years ago, I bought a Digital Elph for my daughter and found myself using that small and light camera in place of my A95. Given the advancements in technology, it was time to upgrade.
The most important feature in looking for a replacement was the small size and the use of a rechargeable battery. Resolution was less of a deal as the A95, with only five Mpixels, produced clear pictures. The most notable improvement, even over the previous Elph, was in the increased speed of all functions including boot up and picture recording.
Picture quality is amazing and the color balance and metering is excellent. If you now own a Canon digital camera and you are thinking of buying a new one, the basic navigation stays mainly identical, so that part will be familiar to you. Access to the camera's shooting styles use menus instead than of a physical dial as on the A95.
The screen is pretty big, well illuminated and easy to view, even in bright light. Ultimately, the most essential condition with digital picture taking should be image quality and ease of use. I have a lot of experience with manual SLR picture cameras and similar point and shoots, and this model suits perfectly for true "turn it on and shoot" photography. Pictures are crisp and vivid with solid detail and vibrant color.
The luminosity measure does a great job of assessing the scene and choosing the best possible combination of shutter speed and aperture.
A high capacity (SDHC) storage card will hold an insane amount of photographs even at the highest resolution. Uploading photos to a PC or Mac is easy with either the supplied software or Apple's iPhoto software, which works seamlessly with the camera. I would recommend both a high capacity SD card and the optional leather case to protect the camera, especially if dropped.
This camera just blows me away. It takes brilliant photographs in full-auto mode. In situations where full-auto doesn't quite do the job as good as possible, this camera lets you change the ISO settings, white balance, focus method, and tons of other factors.
I extremely recommend this camera for someone looking for an easy-to-use, light, small and good digital camera. It's just a superb camera at a great price. - 16069
