Product Information

The Canon PowerShot SD780 IS packs both power and superior performance into a sleek and slender build. Weighing 0.34 pounds, this digital camera is ultra-portable and easy to take with you everywhere you go. It utilizes a 12-megapixel, 2.3-inch CCD sensor that delivers clear, crisp still images for both large prints and close crops. The Canon SD780 camera also allows you to take high-resolution videos. This point-and-shoot camera is easy to use as it features a TTL autofocus system and a real-image optical zoom viewfinder. This camera boasts various modes for just about all shooting settings, including Portrait, Snow, Aquarium, Underwater, and Night Snapshot. This particular version of these Canon digital cameras has an entirely black body. There's a whole suite of features on these cameras that both beginners and advanced photographers will appreciate. The ISO range on this device extends from 80 to 1,600. When looking to store your photos, you can do so on any number of memory card types. Compatible memory cards with the Canon ELPH include SD, SDHC, MMC, MMC Plus, and MMC Plus HD. This device comes equipped with a built-in flash, providing you with settings like Auto, Fill, Slow Synchronization, Flash Off, and Red-Eye Reduction modes. This flash system can be very helpful during low-light situations. An HDMI port is also included if you wish to connect this camera to an HD device. Optical image stabilization is available, allowing you to capture still images without blur even when you are on the move. When you wish to focus on an object, an autofocus mode is available to assist you. The autofocus technology offers five useful modes that you can choose from when taking a photo. These include Contrast Detect, Face Detection, Multi-Area, Single, and Live View focus mode. The 2.5-inch LCD screen on this Canon device provides you with a clear view of the pictures you take. Anyone that's looking to use their camera to capture video will also find the SD780 to be very useful. Several resolutions are available to select from, including full HD 720p, 480p, and 240p. Each resolution allows you to shoot video at a fast-paced 30 frames per second. Any videos you shoot can be saved in MPEG-4 and H.264 formats. This digital device has both an optical zoom and a digital zoom with the included zoom lens. The optical zoom is set to a magnification of 3x while the digital zoom goes up to a magnification of 4x. When you wish to use the metering feature, you can select from Center-Weighted, Spot, and Multi metering mode. With the lithium-ion NB-4L rechargeable battery, the Canon PowerShot lasts for well over 200 shots before a recharge is necessary. When you want to get into a shot but no one's available to take the picture, use the self-timer feature. The PowerShot has a maximum aperture range of F3.2-F5.8 and a max shutter speed of 1/1500 of a second.
