Update: DEAD!
Canon PowerShot SD780IS (Deep Red) Linky
This is truly a great tiny camera, plus it takes HD movies as well! It even has Canon’s awesome self-timer face detection which allows you to set the camera to only take the picture once it recognizes another face (that of the photographer’s) is in the photo!
-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
“The PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH is equipped with Canon’s acclaimed Optical Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake–one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. Even when zoomed in, you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images you’ll be proud to shoot and share. And Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer Technology is so convenient to use. It functions perfectly with or without a flash.”
“Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye from subjects in flash pictures.
1) Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
2) The PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during image playback.
3) You can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove them. ”
It’s Alive Again!
@Miguel:
Good luck finding it.
I called around and couldn’t.
This camera is on sale for $114.94 at Office Depot, brick and mortar only. It’s also on clearance @ Staples for 107.35. If you have the $5 off $50 coupon, this goes for under $100.
However, the SD980 is on clearance in many place for $75.
@anon:
Yes, a very good one.
are there any pros to getting this as a new video camera instead of a reg one
is this a video camera as well?
