## Description

From the Manufacturer Manufacturer Description Chiseled edges with a subtle gleam give this PowerShot SD790 IS Digital ELPH distinctive sculptural appeal. Just as attractive are its high-end specifications, including 10 megapixels of resolution plus Face Detection and Motion Detection Technology that delivers the ultimate in crisp, clear, amazingly detailed images. Prepare to be transfixed by the view from the camera’s 3.0-inch PureColor LCD II screen. With rich, accurate color and superb clarity, the screen is easy to view at wide angles too -- perfect for gathering a group around to see your images. PowerShot SD790IS Highlights 1x zoom/3x zoom Advanced 10-megapixel Digital ELPH with 3x optical zoom and Optical Image Stabilizer The PowerShot SD790 IS Digital ELPH offers impressive core technologies. The 10.0-megapixel CCD gives you extraordinary flexibility in cropping and enlarging: the detail and resolution are so fine that you can take any part of an image and enlarge it with confidence. The 3x optical zoom can more than handle your everyday shooting. Canon’s exclusive Optical Image Stabilizer automatically detects and cancels camera shake, ensuring that your images are crisp and blur-free throughout the zoom range. Motion Detection Technology automatically detects subject movement and optimizes exposure control to reduce blur Life doesn’t stand still for picture-taking. That’s why Canon included its advanced Motion Detection Technology in the PowerShot SD790 IS Digital ELPH. This sophisticated feature works in the background to instantly evaluate how fast your subject is moving. Then it automatically selects and sets the optimal exposure and ISO settings to keep everything looking sharp and clear. When you need higher ISOs for action-stopping shutter speeds, Motion Detection Technology provides it. But when no movement is detected, it allows lower ISOs for excellent color and detail. So whether you’re shooting a bride walking down the aisle, a ballet recital or even a child’s soccer game, you can relax and shoot with confidence knowing you’ve got the picture you intended. Large 3.0-inch PureColor LCD II screen for bright, accurate color and wide viewing angle The PowerShot SD790 IS Digital ELPH gives you large 3.0-inch LCD screen for excellent control when framing your shots. Canon’s PureColor LCD II offers more spectacular color, resolution and contrast even when viewed at an angle (compared to PureColor LCD). The screen is highly durable and easy to see in any light with a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coating. It also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light -- a perfect feature for gathering friends and family around to see your images. With Canon's Face Detection WB (right), skin tones are not affected by overall lighting Improved Face Detection Technology sets the focus, exposure, flash and white balance automatically Canon's powerful Face Detection Technology delivers even better results with the new SD790 IS Digital ELPH. The Face Detection Technology continues to recognize faces in a scene, concentrate exposure (daylight or flash) and focus upon them. But the SD790 IS Digital ELPH adds more: Face Detection WB means the camera concentrates upon faces when calculating white balance for the best possible skin tones. Face Select and Track lets the SD790 IS Digital ELPH user highlight one face among several in a scene, and the camera concentrates on that person, even as they move around the scene. Face Detection Technology is a powerful contributing factor in Canon's new Motion Detection Technology. And with 19 Shooting Modes including 12 Special Scene Modes, you’re ready for whatever shot comes your way. Edgy, stylish design combined with a cool new button configuration for great operability It’s all about edge with the PowerShot SD790 IS Digital ELPH. Sculptured angles not only ratchet up this Digital ELPH’s "look at me" quotient, but add an extra degree of control for superior handling. Gleaming cut surfaces emphasize the camera’s slim style. A cutting-edge control dial makes accessing functions and operations easier than ever. Large, flat buttons in an intuitive configuration are uniquely attractive and fun to use. DIGIC III Image Processor for superior image quality and improved functionality With DIGIC III, your images boast superior quality, the camera operates at top efficiency and battery life is enhanced. What’s more, DIGIC III enables Canon’s Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Simply press the Shutter Button halfway down, and the camera automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. The camera controls exposure settings and flash to keep every face looking bright and natural. Red-eye Correction can be handled in-camera, in two ways. The entirely new Red-eye Correction during shooting uses the Face Detection Technology to recognize and remove red-eye from flash images as they're taken, before the file is written to the memory card. It's also possible to correct red-eye during image playback, using simple settings in the SD790 IS Digital ELPH's menu. iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance. Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye from subjects in flash pictures. 1) The new Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken. 2) The SD790 IS Digital ELPH can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during image playback. 3) The user can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove them. The PowerShot SD790 IS Digital ELPH also features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater shooting flexibility. Print/Share Button for easy direct printing and downloading The PowerShot SD790 IS Digital ELPH's Print/Share button makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the SD790 IS Digital ELPH to a Canon PIXMA photo printer or SELPHY compact photo printer or any PictBridge compatible photo printer, press the lighted Print/Share button and print! Also use the Print/Share button to transfer images to a computer (Windows and Macintosh). Print your own ID photos in up to 28 different sizes or use the Movie Print function to output multiple stills from a recorded movie on a single sheet with a Canon SELPHY compact photo printer.

Review: It comes with magic! - This camera is absolutely outstanding, and quite possibly magical. The first few shots I took with this thing look like something out of National Geographic. You don't know me, but lets just say, prior to this camera my pictures look like they were taken while I was intoxicated on a moving boat. Yes, that's how bad they were, and no, I've never been drunk on a boat. Was it the worthless Konica Minolta I was using? Perhaps. But, I'm thinking magic has something to do with it instantly transforming me into a photographer. I've actually had people offer to BUY my photographs!! Me!! The color is vibrant, with superb clarity and sharpness, plus fantastic depth, which I think can be the hardest thing to achieve in a photograph. The Macro settings are unreal, and the focus and lighting are exceptional without a flash. The battery life is really long, and the video quality looks better than my video camera, and even has better sound. The screen is really impressive. For the most part- it's easy to use!! It did take me awhile to learn all the camera's functions and experiment with settings because it was significantly more complex than my old camera. I don't know what half the manual settings do, so I just stick with the settings in Auto mode- which has wonderful options. It works great. I love how this camera functions- and I am SOLD on Canon. My boyfriend had an older generation of this camera and his pictures were amazing, so I just went ahead and bought this without even holding it first. I truly couldn't be happier with it, and I can't imagine anyone not absolutely loving it. Its tiny, but packs quite a punch!! I just wish it came with a case...
Review: A Tale of Three Treasures! - This review is a combination of three: Canon PowerShot SD950IS 12.1MP (Titanium) Canon PowerShot SD770IS 10MP (Silver) Canon PowerShot SD790IS 10MP I first purchased the Canon SD950, and after loonnnggg shipping from Jr.com, I received it and tried it out. The camera is much bigger than the SD500 that I upgraded from--even though it's got so many bells and whistles. One thing about Canon that's got my eyebrow raised: Why the big font as if we can't read? The Image Stabilization is a wonderful thing, right along with the face detection. It even focused on an enlarged print of a little girl! The 3.7 zoom is nothing to frown at either. ISO is easier to set now so one can play around with the settings... The camera is made for "big hands" and it took me about two weeks of off and on shooting to get used to it. The 12MP quality is okay, and I didn't have to get used to too much new button placement. One thing I didn't like is the play button. I felt I had to really push my finger on the play button in order to view my photos. It annoyed me enough to see what else was out there. The Canons SD770 and SD790 were next on my list. Even though they were "only" 10MP, they had newer technology from Canon: Motion Detection and Infinity and cute buttons in all new small packages. SD770IS(Silver) First the SD770. This was a nice small camera! Not cheap feeling at all, Canon packed everything but the kitchen sink in there. I like the "Infinity" setting that the SD950 didn't have. Also, I have the silver version and it's nice, small, sleek, and takes great pictures. I didn't like the way the battery cover was not spring loaded. Also, either it was this particular camera or the 770 in general, but it seemed like I had to "dig" for the battery and SDHC card once put in. Yes, it's compact, hefty, and full of bells and whistles, but it was...kinda boring. Maybe because the silver color didn't have the pizazz of the black version that I'd read reviews on. Moving on to the SD790... SD790IS Bigger camera! Compared to the 770, it's a giant! The same size as the 950 except in a square/cube like form. The 950 is curvy, while the 790 is sleek and boxy (not sure if that's an oxymoron or not!). The 790 also has a new button format that I'm not sure if I like or not. I really enjoyed the SD500's button placement and while I can appreciate a "play" button...why not make it easy access instead of having to constantly press the button down? I'm thinking that the play buttons will eventually wear out. The big screen is nice, and even though I haven't used a viewfinder since...ever, it would be nice to "just have". So the lack of a viewfinder is a potential bummer. You never know when you gotta smear your nose on the photo screen to take pic! lol Also, the 790 is a fingerprint magnet. I tried to take the same pictures with all the cameras, but couldn't always (morning/evening, different zoom, etc.). Both the 770 and 790 have high ISO settings (as did the 950), but I didn't even use anything that high previously! All the pictures came out great. Even my crappy pictures of my messy coffee table were clear and colorful! One issue I had with all three cameras was the color accent setting. It seemed as if I got better black and white/one color photos from my SD500 than either of these cameras. I have to do a lot more tweaking. However, it could be just because of the balances of the colors and the lighting effects in my environment. If I just had to choose based on portability, photos, looks, bells/whistles, ease of use, I would go crazy trying to decide. Both cameras are amazingly small! The thing that keeps me wondering about the 770 is, "how can they fit all these specs in this TINY camera!?? But, I'm a sucker for good looks, so the scale points back to the SD790! True it's bigger than the 770, but it's still small considering the screen. I always take great care of my electronics, so I'm not so worried about fingerprints. If the button issue upsets me extremely, then I'll just upgrade to Canon's latest and greatest in 6-8 months. One more thing: I purchased the SanDisk 4 GB Extreme III SDHC Card w/ MicroMate USB Reader and it gets 900ish pictures on the 10MP versions at the highest settings. Either way, can't wait to take pics on the new SD790. I feel that although all three are great, the 790 has that sleekness with Canon's new technology all in one package. Get out, purchase any of these cams and you'd be satisfied.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this use a canon battery, or double A's?**
A: it's a canon battery pack nb-5l, 3.7v, 1120mAl (li-ion), thanks for the question, holycowrec

**Q: How do you turn off high speed time-lapse video? funct.set won't higlight 640 to change it per manual instructions.**
A: Sorry, but I've never been a viewer of video.  If my Canon knows how to do what you describe, it is news to me. In the meantime, I shoot 4 or 5 still images a year.

**Q: How do you turn off high speed time-lapse video? funct.set won't higlight 640 to change it per manual instructions.**
A: Go to menu Set - Default Action and click Cancel . If your IS Mode is on Continuous mode turn it Off .  If your memory card is bellow  the standard that may also cause an issue . I will recommend you to buy at least a 2 GB memory or higher . If the problem persist try to plug it into a computer and download a better or an updated software that can trouble shoot the camera. Hope that helps.

**Q: Is there an owners manual for the canon power shot sd 790 is digital elph camera i can buy?**
A: You can download and print the manual online. I can send you the link with purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost perfect point and shoot
*by M***K on November 20, 2008*

I've had the privilege to test out a lot of different cameras for free over the last several years. Some I kept (and paid for) and some I returned. I have gotten to try a lot of canons and this one is the best I've used. I've got to try several "A" powershots and "SD" powershots and out of all this one seems to perform the best. I have a Canon EOS 40D which has 10 megapixels and is an extremely good camera. When I looked at photos from this camera and the 40D, both being 10 megapixels I was shoocked at the quality of this small point and shoot for less than $200. The pictures were almost identical in quality. Its really hard to see any differences. I like to test cameras with macro using coins. When you take a macro photo with this camera and the 40D on both you can see every little scratch, imperfection and dust. I was blown away by this camera at such a good price (right now $183). Of course no camera is perfect. One thing I don't like about this camera is that while recording video, the zoom function is only digital zoom and not optical, like that on the Samsung nv24hd. But the picture quality is far superior here than the samsung. But this camera doesn't have HD recording and the samsung excels at that, video is incredible with a fast comptuer or PS3. Battery like is over 50% longer on this powershot than my last one, the SD630. That camera is extremely good but the screen is low res and that camera is mostly plastic (that looks like metal), this one is a metal brick. Amazing quality at such an affordable price ($183)
