I bought the Canon SD770IS to substitute my PowerShot A95. A few years ago, I purchased a Digital Elph for my daughter and found myself using that small and light camera, instead of my A95. Due to the advancements in technology, it was time to upgrade.
The most essential feature in searching for a replacement was the small size and the use of a rechargeable battery. The resolution was less of a factor as the A95, with just five Mpixels, created clear shots. The most notable advance, even over the recent Elph, was 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 fairly big, well enlightened and easy to see, even in shining light. Finally, the most important consideration with digital picture taking should be image quality and ease of use. I have lots of practice with manual SLR picture cameras and similar point and shoots, and this model fits absolutely for true "turn it on and shoot" picture taking. Pictures are crisp and clear with good detail and deep color.
The luminosity meter does a great job of assessing the settings and selecting the best possible combination of the shutter speed and aperture.
A high capacity (SDHC) storage card will hold a large amount of photographs even at the highest resolution. Uploading photos to a PC or Mac is smooth with either the provided 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 searching for an easy-to-use, light, small and good digital camera. It's just a superb camera at a good price. - 16755
