    Shamefully I purchased this camera from another retailer but have since purchased a SD1100 IS from Newegg. The two are very comparable on image quality but it seems the SD750 is a bit sharper and more accurate colors. Read more

The same thing can also be done with the input special effects for the videos.

Review Summary

The Canon PowerShot SD750 is the new ELPH model released by Canon in 2007. Known as just a good camera, the Canon PowerShot SD750 features a 3.0-inch “PureColor” Multi-level LCD display, 10 scene modes, a 7-megapixels of resolution, a 3x optical zoom lens, and a VGA sized movie mode and also not to forget Canon’s new Face Detection AF/AE/FE technology. Pictures shot with the Canon PowerShot SD750 are simply appealing to many photographers with its deep clarity, sharpness and clear colors. Many of the Canon fans appreciate the fact that the Canon PowerShot SD750 is nicely designed with an excellent high-ISO photo quality and above-average movie quality. Along with that, it’s relatively fast and its face detection system is simply amazing. A certain feature named the ‘color accent’ is the favorite feature of many of its users as it simply takes excellent pictures. They also like its fast usage system which allows the quickest way to take a shot and it takes no more than 2 seconds simply turn on the flash if ever needed. A CNET reviewer had this to say about the camera, “It lacks the image stabilization of the SD800 IS and the tiny appeal of the SD1000, but the Canon PowerShot SD750 has a more elegant, cutting-edge design, large LCD and—to my eyes, at least—better photo quality.” While some users don’t like a few features with the Canon PowerShot SD750, firstly, the photos tend to have purple fringing and secondly, there’s no optical viewfinder. Some commented that the menu and the tool bars are not the easiest to navigate and the buttons too can be confusing. Despite that, on the whole, the Canon PowerShot SD750 is known to be a great product and that includes the ease of using it. It helps a lot when the pictures taken with it looks great.
