After a long time of searching for the right product I found this amazing Canon, easy to configure and operate, the IS really helps, the optic zoom is good for a pocket camera (though I would hope for more for the same price and camera size), the recognize face feature is quite nice, Video records are in high quality and may replace a real camcorder however verify that you are using the optic zoom and not the digital.
This Camera requires high speed memory card, so to enjoy it don't save on the memory card go for the top.
Very satisfied from the product and recomand to others

I had done some shopping before realizing that Amazon offered the best price on the camera I desired. Service was excellent - I received the camera VERY quickly, using the basic option. And what an excellent camera it is. I'm very pleased.
Astonishing power in a super-compact design August 28, 2008

I previously had a Canon PowerShot S110 digital ELPH from 6 years ago or so, and loved that camera. I didn't realize that there was so much more that a little camera could do! I researched the new Canon's out there (since I loved the ELPH), and decided on the SD770 IS for its compact design and features outlined well by others.
This camera just blows me away. It takes amazing pictures in full-auto mode. In situations where full-auto doesn't quite do the job as well as possible, this camera lets you change ISO settings, white balance, focus method, and tons of other factors.
Compared to the S110, I thought the ability to change the ISO setting was a big improvement over previous generations. You're actually changing the sensitivity of the sensor in the camera, allowing you to take pictures with more clarity in conditions that have less light. This, coupled with the image stabilization (which again, blows me away on this camera), allows you to not have to use flash, preserve the real look of the scene, and take a crisply clear picture.
Battery life is amazing. I haven't charged it once yet... I'm going on over 150 pictures taken now. I've taken many pictures in low light with no flash, which drains the battery faster because the sensors have to stay on longer. The battery low warning has now come on... but I've still taken over 10 pictures on low battery, so it gives you a good amount of warning time.
I also thought I didn't need more megapixels, because my pictures from my 2MP S110 looked great. True, 10MP looks even better, but a HUGE benefit is that it automatically improves your ability to do digital zoom and keep the picture looking crisp. You can take a 10MP full resolution photo of a scene, then crop it down later to the zoomed-in part of the scene that you want, and still have a crisp image for a 4x6 print. The camera is also able to do this more automatically... if you choose to take a photo at a lower resolution, like 4MP, and you use digital zoom, the camera will automatically use its sensor to it's full 10MP capability to zoom digitally and retain image quality.
Just a fantastic camera. I'm glad I stuck with Canon, and I'm glad I bought the latest generation.
Best choice for a quality compact camera- Canon SD770is August 19, 2008

Like most people, I did lot of research (online and visits to retailers) before deciding on the Canon SD770is. If you're considering a quality, compact digital camera, there simply is no better choice than the Canon SD770is - and go with the black color which features a black circle in front, a slightly darker body color, and a black wrist strap instead of the silver strap that comes with the silver version. I considered the SD790is with the 3" screen, but it's slightly bigger and heavier and only came in silver. The 770 is the successor to the 750 (one of Canon's best digital cameras), and adds image stabilization, a better LCD screen, 10 megapixels, and better battery pack. I won't go into all the specs, because you can read that anywhere online, but the diminutive size makes the 770 very convenient to carry everywhere and the pictures are absolutely great. What more could you ask for? I admit I am biased towards Canon as every year or two I upgrade to another Canon, but they simply make the best digital cameras on the market. Save some time, take advantage of my extensive research, and get yourself the Canon SD770is...and click away.
Getting Better All The Time! August 8, 2008

I purchased the Canon SD770IS to replace a PowerShot A95. A couple years ago, I had purchased a Digital Elph for a family member and found myself using that much smaller and lighter camera, instead of my A95. Given advancements in technology, it was time to upgrade. The most important feature in looking for a replacement was small size and the use of a rechargeable battery. Pixel resolution was less a factor as the A95, with only 5 megapixels, produced sharp images. The most noticeable improvement, even over the previous Elph, was in the increased speed of all camera functions including boot up and image recording. Image quality is stellar and the color balance and metering is excellent. If you currently own a Canon digital camera and are upgrading, the basic navigation of features remains primarily the same, so that will be familiar to you. Access to the camera's shooting modes use menus rather than a physical dial as on the A95. The LCD screen is fairly large, well illuminated and easy to view, even in bright light. Ultimately, the most important consideration with digital photography should be image quality and ease of use. I have years of experience with manual SLR film cameras and point and shoots alike, and this model fits the bill perfectly for true "turn it on and shoot" photography. Images are crisp and clear with great detail and vibrant color. The light meter does a great job of assessing the scene and choosing the best possible combination of shutter speed and aperture. I highly recommend this camera for someone looking for an easy-to-use, lightweight, small and effective digital camera. A high capacity (SDHC) memory card will hold a ridiculous number of photos even at the highest resolution. Uploading photos to a PC or Mac is easy with either the supplied 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. A great camera at a great price.
