 Excellent, Sleek, and Stylish Camera April 4, 2007
408 out of 416 found this review helpful
Canon resumes its position at the top of all camera manufacturers. Their design, performance, and quality is hard to match. Now onto the camera:
I have shot around 4-5 Gigs worth of photos in various settings, so I have a good idea of what this camera has to offer. The features itself within the camera are excellent. Aside from increased megapixels, it's not much different than the SD700 except for some odd reason, Canon decided to opt out of the IS (Image Stabilization) feature. I almost gave it 4 stars based solely on that aspect. But other than that, the camera is brilliant.
For portraits and close-ups, the Face Detection feature is phenomenal which is a reflection of the new DIGIC III technology. The camera will lock in on the human face or multiple faces (I've locked in up to 8) and keep it in focus no matter where you move or pan the camera. And if you're shooting indoors or in low-light, the ISO can be set as high as 1600 so you have a lot of Flash Exposure control if you don't like that spotlight look when using the flash. There is also an Auto ISO setting which gives the user a lot of range to shoot. It will determine proper ISO setting and shutter speed and also will predict camera shake resulting in less blurry pictures. I guess this makes up for not having IS. :)
If you are a novice photographer and don't like to mess with ISO, aperture settings, and shutter speed variations this camera will fit your needs just fine. It has 17 shooting modes including "scene" modes for the different settings you may be shooting in such as the beach, fireworks, snow, portraits, night, etc. Fully automatic so any beginner can pick up this camera and shoot like a pro.
The most popular feature has to be the 3" LCD screen. It's ginormous. But in order to get that big of a screen on such a compact camera, Canon forgoes the optical viewfinder. So if you're a viewfinder shooter, then you may not like the fact you are limited to just the LCD screen for image framing.
One shortcoming of the camera is that it still has a weak zoom. 3X optical is nothing and so the zoom feature is pretty much non-existent.
The movie features on the camera are awesome. i like the Time Lapse movies where you can record time lapse of up to 2 hours and condense it into a 4 or 8 minute movie. So if you want to make that cool "cloud moving" effect or the "budding flower" you can accomplish that with this camera. The video resolution is excellent and has a VGA frame rate of 30fps.
Overall, the camera satisfies all users with being simple enough to use for beginners and also boasting features a professional can appreciate. It also looks bitchin and has a two tone effect that people admire. The corners are intelligently rounded so it slips easily in and out of any pocket you may want to put it in.
Outstanding images.... isn't that what we all want?? Here you go! April 19, 2007

I just received the SD750 for my birthday (thanks Mom & Dad!). I've had it for several days and have taken over 3 hundred pictures and tons of video. It now replaces my old Canon S400, which was a replacement for my antique Canon S110. I've remained true to Canon because I can see the amount of work they have put into making each new generation of cameras "that much better." First, the colors are so much crisper on the SD750 than in prior models, although some tweeking may be needed, you can always find a setting to capture the color you are after. Second, the video quality is outstanding (at the highest setting, that is), and Canon finally took off the 3 minute cap to video recording to allow for longer videos. Also, at the highest setting only, you can zoom in and out while recording video. I love the 3 inch display that incorporates a shifting orientation so the picture is always upright. I do wish that the camera came with a more powerful optical zoom... but I imagine I'll get that with the next generation. And in the end, I have to emphasize, that this camera takes OUSTANDING pictures. That's what a camera should do, after all. Now for a quick rundown of improvements from previous models (for you Canon loyalists):
- Much improved color
- Faster picture taking and faster everything
- Extended video capacity (to however much memory ya got)
- Large LCD to appease the instant gratification generation
- Overall improved picture quality (clarity, color saturation)
A few small camera quirks outside of picture quality... the jog dial in back (trying to emulate iPod) is not the smartest addition and the "play" button is a little hard to hit at times. Overall, I definitely without hesitation recommend this camera.
 Beautiful pictures, but inconvenient battery charging May 27, 2007
123 out of 158 found this review helpful
I bought this camera for my wife so she would have a top-of-the-line compact for taking pictures of our baby son. Neither of us has ever owned a Canon before, so I based my decision to buy from reviews and a friend's recommendation. Now that it has arrived I can happily confirm that picture quality and function are outstanding. The lack of image stabilization hasn't been a problem at all and despite the negative comments on zoom we find 3x more than adequate for the type of pictures we take. The only negative comment I have is that the battery has to be removed from the camera each time it needs to be recharged. This is a big inconvenience to us and I have to believe a detriment to camera longevity due to the wear and tear each time the battery is pulled from the contacts. For all I know, this may be a common characteristic of Canon digital compacts, but we were shocked because all the other digital camera's we've owned including an old Sony and a couple of Fuji compacts all charge the battery internally. While this lack of capability isn't enough to send the camera back, it is the reason I am only giving it a 4 star rating.
 Good until it broke: the dreaded "Lens Error" November 25, 2007
96 out of 106 found this review helpful
I really enjoyed everything about this camera -- the pictures are great, the battery life excellent, the form-factor is terrific.
Until, that is... I got the dreaded "Lens Error, restart camera". The lens is stuck open & the camera is for all intents and purposes useless. I don't think I did anything to cause this, though it was in the bento box on my bike and might have tried to turn on in there, getting the lens stuck. Even if so, there's no reason that should kill the camera. I'm very disappointed.
There is a ton of discussion about Canon and the lens error online. Google "canon sd750 lens error" and enjoy your reading.
 blurry delay August 10, 2007
49 out of 78 found this review helpful
I was rather unimpressed with this camera given the rave reviews. Here are my top complaints:
1) BIG DELAY between when you depress the shutter button to take the picture and when the camera actually takes the picture. I really do not like this; I want the camera to capture when I press, not afterwards. This isn't a huge problem when taking stills but for action, kids, people, or anything else that tends to move, this is a BIG problem.
2) Blurry results. Another reviewer was right that when you download you will notice a significant blur to photos you can't see as well on the LCD screen when taking photos. I got better results when I turned off the face recognition feature but I am still highly disappointed with the lack of image sharpness and difficulties correcting the blur from one condition to the next.
3) ONLY USES LCD to frame the photo; I prefer the ability to view through an eye piece when I need precision.
4) LCD screen is such a significant portion of the camera, it is impossible not to touch it with fingers and hand thus smudging the screen. I constantly find myself trying to clean the screen. Since the screen is the only way to view and frame your shot, this is very, very frustrating - I like a clean screen.
Overall, I have buyer's remorse. I cannot recommend this camera. I prefer to carry around a faster, bulkier SLR. My search for a relatively good 'pocket' camera continues.
