Canon SD770IS Review

By Ryan Alberts

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, with the color proportion and metering being brilliant. If you now own a Canon digital camera and you are thinking of buying a new one, the standard navigation of characteristics remains mainly the same, so that will be well known to you. The access to the camera's shooting modes is available from the menus, rather than using a physical dial as on the A95.

The screen is fairly large, well enlightened and easy to view, even in bright light. Finally, the most important condition with digital picture taking should be image quality and ease of use. I have years of experience with manual SLR film cameras and similar point and shoots, and this model fits perfectly for true "turn it on and shoot" picture taking. Images are clear 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 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 makes astonishing pictures in full-auto mode. In situations where full-auto doesn't quite do the job as good as possible, this camera lets you change of ISO settings, light 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. - 2361
