Canon PowerShot SD780 IS (silver)
Man, the SD780 IS is smallIt is the "slimmest Digital ELPH Canon has ever created," but you really don't get a full feel for how diminutive that is until you're holding itIt's really smallIts width and height are about that of a credit card; it's just barely thicker than an Apple iPhone (and oddly enough has similar body curves)
The SD780 IS updates the SD770 IS, getting a resolution bump from 10 megapixels to 12, the company's Digic 4 processor, a slightly wider lens, and the ability to capture movies in HDFor its size, it's an impressive cameraYou won't mistake its photo quality for that of a larger, more expensive camera, but it ranks in the top of its classIts video quality is very good, tooIf you need a tiny camera for your pocket or purse, strongly consider the SD780 IS
Despite the SD780's slight build, it feels very sturdyHowever, if you plan to keep it loose in a bag, invest in some manner of protection or risk scratching up its beautiful body and screenThe model is available in silver, gold, black, and a satiny red with pink typographyThe lens barrel color matches the body, too, giving it a peculiar uniform look
Using the camera is remarkably comfortable, even for large handsWell, maybe using the viewfinder isn't so pleasant because of its miniscule size, but there's always the bright LCD to fall back onAll of the controls are flat and flush with the bodyIt gives the camera a very smooth appearance, but using the four-way directional pad and center Func/Set button was a bit difficult because of this and led to frequent mispresses on the center button when trying to adjust the ISO sensitivity, macro, flash, or drive mode from the outer ring
