I purchased this camera in 2007 have only had one problem, the screen went blank just recently. We were about to throw it out but hated to since we spent over $300.00 for it and have only had it for 2 years. So I decided to buy another camera a sony which I like very much but still upset about the sd750 that sits in the drawer. I called canon customer service today 12-18-09 and within 5 minutes the tech walked me through the factory reset procedure and its all set. Even though there was an issue I still give it 5 stars. The camera is the best I have ever owned and canon customer service is by far the best! The camera is out of warranty and they are still willing to take care of the issue, he said call back if there is anymore issues. Now that is customer service!

Are you name at least three problems with the Canon PowerShot SD750 Digital Elph Camera? If you cannot, then perhaps you should not even be considering buying one. I am not recommending, the SD750 is a terrible camera, I am just commending that you need to know what your getting before you purchase it. Knowing the issues in a digital camera (even camera (even a Canon ) before you purchase is the key factor in your after purchase satisfaction. Let's consider some of the issues Canon PowerShot SD750 Digital 7.1MP Camera with the SD750 Digital Elph.

If your one of those purchasers who is considering upgrading their PowerShot SD500 to a SD750 thanks to the large LCD screen, be careful. The SD750 has a 3 inch LCD screen. However, the giant LCD is truly not enough to make the upgrade worthwhile. While megapixels and image sensor are the same between the 2 cameras, the image quality isn't. Pictures shot in less than ideal light using the flash turn out much more detailed on the SD500. Potentially due to barely different lenses.

As with many cameras in this class, you may notice a degradation in your ability to take more than one picture in quick succession with the SD750. The prime perpetrators here are slow SD memory cards, and weak batteries. The flash, and the now larger LCD make a contribution to the problem. What can help, is buying the fastest speed memory cards you can, and quality batteries.

- no optical viewfinder

- a less than intuitive menu and control system

- no manual exposure settings available

- short battery life

- zoom option not usable for shooting videos

Owned for two and half years and is the BEST camera I have ever owned. Traveled from the volcanos of Iceland to blustery winters of Sweden to the nightlife of Sydney Australia and Auckland New Zealand to the LA, NY and the hill country of central Texas. Awesome camera. Love it. Now I’m considering purchasing the newer version of this camera (SD780) that films in HD.

I have owned this camera for 2 years now and I loved it for the first year I had it. Unfortunately, within the past few months my pictures have been extremely blurry. If I don’t zoom in just a tiny bit the picture will end up blurry. I have checked all my settings, and even reset them back to factory settings and I am still having this problem. So maybe it is the lens? I am not sure! I will definately be buying a new camera sometime soon, just wish this one would have lasted more than 2 years..

I bought this camera to replace a camera that destroyed with water. It is the exact camera that I had and works just like new.

I do not review many things on here but I always like to read what others have commented before I decide to buy things. With that said I would like to say some nice things about this camera! I originally bought this camera a few years ago after testing out one of my friends of the same model and fell in love with it. I accidentally fell into a lake with this camera in my pocket and I loved it so much I sent it to canon and got it refurbished for around a $100 bucks. Recently I lost this same camera on a ski trip deep in the woods and was really sad I had lost my go anywhere camera. So I will be ordering another one of these puppies! Thats how much I love this camera!

Pros:

One of the main reasons I loved this camera is that when you take pictures there isnt one of those crazy pre-flash things that confuse the people who are being photographed. Some cameras have a really long delay after you push the button to take the picture OR it does this red light strobe effect OR flashes multiple times confusing the hell out of everyone to which flash was real thus giving you a closed eyes or weird faces in the pic. This camera wont do that. You can do a half press which will turn on a red eye light and a full press will take the pic with a reasonably short delay.

It is really small and can fit right in your pocket without it feeling bulky- this was great for me because I like to carry my camera where ever I go in case the perfect picture or video opportunity pops up. After dropping my original 750 in the water I purchased a 790 10mp Canon PowerShot SD790IS 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and although that is also a great camera I was a bit disappointed because it is noticeably thicker and heavier in the pocket. So I gave that one to my parents and refurbished the one I dropped into the lake. The 750 is much lighter and thinner than the 790 and you can forget about it being in your pocket while the 790 felt more bulky and clunky to have in my pants pocket.

The 3″ view screen is great! You know when you take a picture, those people want to see the picture instantly so you have to show them the camera. Well that is another reason I bought this model for the wider than average 3″ screen. It is larger than most point and shoot camera and is very clear. Its much better than reviewing your pics and videos in a 2.5″ screen.

You can shoot movies! My 8gb sd card was able to get over an hour of movie filming that is pretty good quality 30fps with sound! This is great if you have a on the fly funny moment or accident or anything where you want to have a video camera right in your pocket :) Although at night and low light it is a bit low quality because it doesnt have any night vision feature or anything in good light the video quality is pretty good and good enough for casual users.

Overall if you are looking for a light weight, easy to use, feature packed camera I highly recommend this model :)
