Canon SD770IS Digital Camera Review

The Canon SD770IS digital camera has a sleek and slim design which exudes a strong appeal which carries a high note of lifestyle and makes it the perfect carrier for all your photo outing sessions. This camera is filled with high end specifications like a 10 megapixel resolution and a 3x optical zoom lens. You know what this means, superbly captured shots at great high quality image because Canon has wonderfully integrated technologies like Face Detection and Motion Detection Technologies that will eliminate blur; think of zombie like face movements after capture, kills the scene every time.

More on the 3x optical zoom for Canon SD770IS digital camera, allows you to get up close and personal to your shooting subject because of its zoom plus the Optical Image Stablizer that helps in the reduction of blur with camera movements and also under low light conditions. To check on photo quality and whether that blur is ultimately visible (always disappointing to find out only when you have uploaded your pictures), there’s a 2.5 inch PureColor LDC II screen for bright, accurate color delivering crisp images. The Canon SD770IS 2.5 inch screen gives you plenty of visual room plus control when framing your shots; think of larger boundaries and space.  The screen is also highly durable and comes with a scratch resistant, anti reflective coating.

The Canon SD770IS digital camera has Motion Detection Technology that automatically detects subject movement and optimizes exposure control. How this works basically is the camera technology works in the background (stealth) to immediately evaluate how fast your subject is moving. What happens after is that it automatically picks and places the optimal exposure and ISO settings to keep everything looking crystal clear. Its like a genius at work identifying whether your subject is in high movement or otherwise, then providing the correct ISO setting to fit the subject for excellent color and detail and not wasting any time while you’re at it! This is a major plus point and look forward to ever great shots with the Canon SD770IS digital camera.

There’s been a new and improved Face Detection Technology incorporated into the Canon SD770IS digital camera that sets the focus, exposure, flash and white balance automatically. Together with DIGIC III Image Processor for superior image quality and improved functionality, the Canon SD770IS is bound to deliver all your true-to-life-and-moments people shots. The new Red-eye Correction is able to be corrected using Face Detection Technology as it is able to recognize and remove red-eye from flash images capture before it’s saved to the memory card and can be done during image playback by just tweaking the correct settings.

Now, where are all the good shots going to be kept if you don’t flash it out once in a while? Yea, some solid copy prints I’d say. And for that, the Canon SD770IS has the print/share button for easy direct printing and downloading.

I guess, there you have it, an overall quick review on the Canon SD770IS and trust me, this camera has the ability to fly and take pictures on the fly, that will move your fingers fast and furious (Okay, not that dramatic. My apologies, just watched the latest Fast & Furious movie) and you’re in for a pictorial ride.

Canon 790IS Digital Camera Review

 

The Canon Powershot SD790IS is one of the most popular point and shoot camera coming out from the Canon family. Why? It features a 10MP digital camera with a 3x optical image stabilized zoom and keeping the same f/2.8-4.9 35-105mm-equivalent lens. The Canon Powershot SD790IS also comes with a complete redesign bulking up with chiseled edges, with subtle lines and smoothness around the corners that exudes a distinctive appeal that leaves much room for admiration.

 Some might think otherwise though and as usual, design is always subjective but at least it’s a progress towards the positive to me.

 The Canon Powershot SD790IS includes a new physical scroll dial will require some getting used to, but will result in a quicker way in navigating through menus. The incised buttons also represent the touch and feel of most mobile phones today, perhaps giving that impression for familiarity. The cameras also comes with a new motion-detection feature to automatically switch ISO and exposure to keep the images sharp; simply because  moments don’t stand still for you and this new incorporation will benefit all users when capturing lifetime moments. And, guess what? It actually works well! Furthermore, automatic settings have been tweaked and update for better image calibration to permit the Canon Powershot SD790IS to drive performance results in high ISO shots.

 Here are some following options available in Camera mode for the Canon Powershot SD790IS:

 Auto: For Point & Shoot Purpose
Manual: Allows change of Exposure Compensation, White Balance, or My Colors
Digital Macro: For close-ups
Color Accent: For interesting effects
Color Swap: For more interesting effects
Stitch Assist: Helps in shooting overlapping images to be merged into a panoramic later on a computer.

 

The Canon Powershot SD790IS comes with an Image Inspection Tool, whereby it facilitates users when reviewing pictures recently taken on the camera’s bright, brilliant and easy-to-read 230, 000-pixel PureColor LCD II display by zooming in to ensure that subjects are naturally in focus and to check for less than brilliant shots like closed eyes or in consistent expressions to match. The power behind Canon Powershot SD790IS is Canon’s proprietary DIGIC III imaging processor because the chip is responsible for the higher performance levels including faster boot up, quicker autofocus, and quicker shutter response times that leave our more than familiar long lag competitors far behind. There’s more, the DIGIC III processor improves both the image quality and the camera’s power consumption resulting in longer battery life under typical shooting conditions which is pretty neat when you’re on travels.

Canon SD780 Camera Review

I spent a great amount of my time traveling, and I have visited many great places, and have not done justice to my personal book of memories, especially when friends and relatives ask for pictures from any recent trip. I tell them, I have none. They gasped in great surprise assuming that I would at least have lugged a camera with me when I traveled. Yes, they like to meet people in a very different way. And, I’d rather meet them in person and leave the memory at that.

So, it was time to get myself a compact camera, I just couldn’t find any cool ones before this until I stumbled upon a new edition by Canon (loving their camera creations off late!), the Canon SD780 Camera! Check it out in black!!

Just from a product design stand point, I quickly fell in love with the camera itself, solid build with a nice black finishing, and slides easily into your pocket boasting at 12.1 megapixel and going by the Power Shot series by Canon, it would stand a great chance being a hot seller. It sold me, that’s for sure!

Strikingly small and slim, fast and reliable auto focus with innovative features and optical image stabilization are the cool compact features for the Canon SD780 Camera and the new booster is the high definition movie capability (ability to capture 1280 x 720 pixel movies). Think YouTube.

Product Features

  • 12.1-megapixel CCD captures enough detail for photo-quality poster-size prints
  • 3x optical zoom lens with Optical Image Stabilizer
  • HD movie shooting capability plus HDMI output
  • 2.5-inch widescreen PureColor LCD II screen; Face Detection
  • Compatible with SD/SDHC, MMC/MMC Plus/HC MMC Plus (not included)
Wide screen live view with simple button function layout proves to be a comfort for any user, the sleek design and simplicity induced is what is much needed to complete a great experience in photo taking. Not that you want to figure out how to use the camera and missing the great moment while you’re at it, now would you?
I took some time to look at some video reviews on YouTube on the Canon SD780 Camera and I found this to be giving the best overall overview to the camera, enjoy!

Olympus Micro 4 3 Camera Review

When I first feasted my eyes on this particular good looking camera, I was surprised to find that Olympus had outdone themselves recently after being rather quiet for so long. I particularly enjoyed the look and feel of the camera itself without having much prior knowledge to its latest model.

It was only fair I did some research to identify this new baby to the photography world.

From my early findings, the Olympus Micro 4 3 Camera otherwise known as Olympus Pen EP-1. A 12.3 MP Micro Four Thirds (hence the ”4 3”) Interchangable Lens Digital Camera proves to capture with excellent resolution with tons of details in the shot. I can testify as I was capturing the amazing night life in Macau when I visited recently.

Light weight body and easy to handle functionality seemed that this camera inclined to fuss free travelers without lugging heavy gear while having a good time. It proved to be a favorite with the ladies! What more when it can even record videos, so no moments are ever lost.

An eye for detail matters when it comes to good pictures and the Olympus Micro 4 3 Camera does justice by delivering a 3-inch HyperCrystal LCD with Live View function plus In-body Image Stabilization. The In-Creative camera features also gives more color and character to the pictures taken if one wants to induce a different spin on the shots. However, one setback which I found was the viewfinder, there was none!

Nonetheless, it is an easy camera to use as per function buttons layout and delivers high quality video recording which comes as a serious bonus for such a compact model. By installing lots of external controls on the camera adds to the convenient structure for anyone to basically pick this new baby up and go.

I think the common and quick mistake that one would adopt when using the Olympus Micro 4 3 Camera would be to assume that it’s meant to deliver the good as our bigger brothers in the SLR category in terms of responsiveness or noise for that matter. It’s a light and easy model with a big performance feature and if you start your expectation with that in mind, I think you’ll develop a mighty fine relationship with the Olympus Micro 4 3 Camera up ahead in your travel tales.

Furthermore, it’s a silent performer (this means it’s not as noisy and doesn’t become intrusive when capturing others either, stealth in lifestyle moments I say)

Finally, it was best to end with a quick snapshot summary on the product features & technical details which I felt Amazon did a great job for this.
