    Great little camera in the SD series. Better than the SD1000 overall at the new lower price.

    Having used the SD1000 and the SD750 together for the same shots I can say that the SD750 offers more especially as there was no price difference on the day I purchased the SD750 (both were around 167 bucks). Earlier with the more than 50 bucks price difference I had recommended the SD1000 for price/value. At the new lower price the SD750 is the winner.Neither model has the new Image Stabilization, which does not work so well on the SD series anyway when compared to other Canon cameras like S5. The SD750 has a 3" screen which makes shots easy to compose and view, while the SD1000 has a viewfin

    A great shot full of power. Spectacular camera.

    What a spectacular camera. You start off with one of the lowest startup costs the market can offer, and you are sent one of the most sleek, savvy, and technologically advance cameras out there. The Canon Powershot SD750 is one I can recommend to call, and believe me, I have gone through my good share of cameras.Why do you want to believe this review? I'm going to give you a couple of quick reasons why you should. You don't have to, and truthfully I wouldn't believe text either. However, I can guarantee you that once you hold this camera in your hands, test drive it, and see the prints it produ

    Great quality snaps, compact design

    I've had another similar point-and-shoot from Canon. I was very pleased with it, and that positive experience led to this purchase.Specs on this camera are very similar to the SD1000, SD800 and A560. They all use the same DIGIC chip anyway. The SD750 has Face Recognition, which is handy if you like it, and easily switched off in circumstances where it's not desired. This model does not have Image Stabilization, but will perform as any normal camera would under low-light conditions.This model sports the 3" LCD screen and omits the viewfinder. Some people see this as a drawback, but I rather lik

    Quickly deteriorates

    I bought this camera in 2007 because of the good Canon name and the beautiful three inch lcd. I took good care of it, kept in in a protective case at all times and never scratched nor dropped it. Everything was good until about 1 year and a half after purchase. Issue #1: The on/off button stopped working. It sucked, but I could live with it since the display button could also turn it off and on.But then shortly after, the zoom stopped working correctly. Issue #2: It would zoom in close up, but wouldnt zoom back out again. I would have to turn the camera off and turn it back on again to get the

    Beautiful picture producer

    I previously owned a SD500, and have been looking for better features such as larger screen, wider zoon, higer ISO speed, etc. And found SD750, I own it now. Wow, it is very nice design of the body, slimmer than SD500. Huge 3" LCD screen, color display on screen is near original(Not just my feel, also few other friends said so). Use the dial technology similiar to the iPod's dial to switch the shoot modes, but you may take some time to get used to it. 3x optical 35-105mm zoom is better than SD500, but I wish it can go wider to 28mm like SD800 IS. SD750 has DIGIC III processor. Can use SDHC car

    Canon does it again!!!!

    I have been buying Canon for years now. Even have one of their aps cameras laying around somewhere. This camera does not disappoint. This camera replaced my venerable A85 which finally gave up the ghost only after a severe dunking (with me too). Battery life is great. Quick flash recharge between shots. Huge screen. I can see it even in the sun. So far, I do not miss having an optical viewfinder.My brother has the next model up with image stabilization but only the 2.5" screen. My advice is to save your money and go with the larger screen of the 750. I really couldn't tell a difference with th

    I LOVE THIS CAMERA!!

    After owning Samsung cameras for years I was skeptical about any other brand. I carefully read as many reviews as possible and then compiled a list of possibilities. I went to Fry's, Circuit City, and Best Buy to see them in person. This camera beat the other 19 cameras that were in consideration.The anti-shaking feature alone is worth the price. If I tried to take a picture with my Samsung I had to take steady aim as though I were trying to shoot a dime from a mile away. A single hearbeat while trying to take aim would almost blur the entire picture. This camera doesn't even give you the chan
