Two years of loving it!

The SD750 is a very fun camera for me. I had an SD1000 and went back to the SD750 becouse I could shoot and change settings one handed easier. Im always packing a nephew or my own child at the zoo or on walks. The larger screen helps also. I dont use the view finder much and was glad to traid it for a larger lcd screen.
I have found it difficult to get real good pictures in low lighting also, but realize that this is true with photography in general.
Over all I would recommend this camera to any one who likes good pictures at a low cost of equipment. I average 8 to 10 thousand photos a year on my SD750.

I purchased this camera prior to going on a cruise to Alaska. I got much better shots than the 2 people I was with and they had far more expensive cameras (of course, the photographer may have been a slight bit better). It is a great camera and a good value. I dropped it a couple of times and aside from a few scratches, it came through great.
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Lightweight/Portable, good battery life, durable
Cons: Poor Low-Light Performance
I would recommend this to a friend!

I totally love this camera. I was real apprehensive to join the world of digital, but after seeing a buddies Power Shot photos, I had to get on to! If you want to get real creative, you can adjust all the settings, or be an amateur, like me & just use the pre-set from the menu. It may take some practice or experimentation, but you will have amazing photos! I have never been disappointed in my pictures, even when the pics were taken in the waterproof case. I'm a river guide and use it on the rio all the time. Even took it down the Grand Canyon on a 25 day trip. I love this camera!!!
Pros: good battery life, Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use, fits into everything!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Canon PowerShot SD750 Review...
on October 28, 2008
Posted by: T_Jay
from New Delhi, India
After a very long time i have seen a digital camera with such stunning design and even more stunning features.
This little beauty from Canon is an improvement from their previous outings.
The main drawback of Canon digital cameras had been the interface and the ease of use, it seems that Canon has kept in mind the user's suggestions while making this small but powerful device.
The picture quality is excellent even in low light conditions, the video recording is good with a maximum resolution of 600 X 400 pixels.Though it could have been better with a little more light sensitivity.But still i'm not complaining.
Coming to the battery life, this powerful machine surely demands lots of power and it shows in the battery backup, which for some reason is not great.But its ample for recording a full 1 hour video and taking more than 200 images.
The design here is the talk of the town, the in thing, hot.
It's sleek, suave, hot, hot and hot. No more words for that.
I give this beauty of a digi cam four thumbs up, two of my friend's too because he's also loving it, and a serious recomendation for all you self proclaimed gadget geeks out there.

Not enough user control, best for snapshots.
on June 2, 2009
Posted by: JJ
from Brunswick, Maine
Don't get me wrong, I'm quite fond of my SD750. I bought it as a replacement for my older Canon A70 because of the 750's small size and large 3" LCD. It fits nicely in my pocket and can go anywhere, so I'm more likely to carry it and have it along when I need it. It's great for snapshots and most basic pictures. The macro and digital macro modes work very well for extreme closeups of flowers and insects and the like. Things tend to get blurry in lower light without a flash, but the newer IS models help with this. Use a tripod, or fire off 10 or 12 shots in continuous shutter mode and delete the blurrier ones.
My older A70, while not having as many gimmicky pre-programmed shooting modes (which I hardly ever use anyway), had 3 features that I consider absolutely essential for properly composing a photo:
* Manual Focus
* Manual aperture control (in either M or Av)
* Manual shutter speed (in either M or Tv)
These settings all relate to the physical light and the way (or duration) in which it enters the camera before light ever reaches the image sensor, they are for all intents and purposes identical to settings that you would find on any decent film camera.
* Manual Focus
* Manual aperture control (in either M or Av)
* Manual shutter speed (in either M or Tv)
These settings all relate to the physical light and the way (or duration) in which it enters the camera before light ever reaches the image sensor, they are for all intents and purposes identical to settings that you would find on any decent film camera.
With the ability to change focus, aperture (f-stop), and shutter speed, you have direct control over:
* depth-of-field (how much of the image is in focus)
* what part of the composed image is in focus,
foreground, midground, or background, and
* the amount of light reaching the sensor, and thus
exposure of the image (how light or dark it is)
* depth-of-field (how much of the image is in focus)
* what part of the composed image is in focus,
foreground, midground, or background, and
* the amount of light reaching the sensor, and thus
exposure of the image (how light or dark it is)
The SD750 has none of these and seems to prefer lower f-stops. It is very difficult to juxtapose a near object with a far one and keep both in focus. I am forced to aim the camera at a different area, set-up the shot by depressing the shutter release half-way, hope that the f-stop is at a reasonably high setting, then compose the shot in the frame. When doing this, the image is most often underexposed or overexposed and needs to be rebalanced in Photoshop. I view this as a needless waste of my time. Considering that the camera is designed to adjust these settings automatically, it would have been trivial for Canon to add an additional shooting mode that let me override the automatic settings.
One other downside is the lack of a viewfinder. Although the teeny viewfinders are often next to useless on small cameras, one might come in handy on a sunny day when there's just too much glare off the LCD to see it clearly. In these cases I've resorted to using continuous shutter and firing off several shots while slowly panning and tilting slightly, hoping that at least one will be framed properly. Then of course, there's the game of deleting the ones that aren't quite right. This is both a waste of time and battery life.
For many people, all of this is a non-issue. If you're shooting in auto mode with all of the default settings and never even bother to override the automatic flash, you're not the type to worry about f-stop or depth of field. If you like to compose more artistic or professional-looking shots, you'd be better served by a different camera.
For now, I'll keep the SD750 in my pocket and have a camera for those quick, impulsive snaps.
Pros: easy to use, Lightweight/Portable, durable, big 3" lcd, fast continuous shutter
Cons: Missing features/settings, Poor Low-Light Performance, Short battery life, no viewfinder
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Can't Be Beat For The Price

from Westchester, New York
I bought this camera on route to the airport as a last minute replacement and was pleasently surprised by it's preformance. Not to say there could be an improvment or two but the pictures I brought home from the South Pacific are beautiful and the camera proved to be quite rugged. I triped with it in hand and it was slamed into the pavement " HARD ". A year later it still does all I need from it.
Pros: easy to use, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Lightweight/Portable, good battery life, durable
Cons: Missing features/settings, Poor Low-Light Performance
I would recommend this to a friend!

Short Life
on March 31, 2010
Posted by: Joseph
from Arizona
The camera took very good pictures while it worked. I'm careful about care and this camera stopped working after 1.5 years. (roughly 25 uses) Shutter stuck open and camera would not power on. Fix was nearly 75% of original cost. Never again....
Cons: Flimsy Construction, poor e-18 lense (retraction issue)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
