Canon PowerShot SD770IS Review: Best 10MP Digital Camera
The Canon PowerShot SD770IS is a member of the classic Elph family: that compact brand of Canon digital camera that’s as easy on the eyes as it is to use.
Sleek, slim, and super lightweight, this 10mp digital camera is perfect for everyday use (be it on the beach, at a picnic, at a party, or in the wilderness).
If you are in the market for an Elph of your own, you have plenty of options to choose from. For a great digital camera in the price range of under $250, there are three fantastic Elph models to choose from: the SD1100, SD790, and this SD770.
The SD770 acts as kind of a hybrid between the other two, offering the best of both worlds.
Canon has long been an industry leader in providing the very best in cameras and photographic equipment. The Canon PowerShot SD770IS is just one of the many reasons why.
Below, we’ll take a closer look at this compact camera, listing off some of the positives and negatives, to give you a chance to decide for yourself if this is the right camera for you.
Canon PowerShot SD770IS Review
The following is a look at the some of the most prominent pros and cons of the Canon PowerShot SD770IS:
Pros:
- Size – Measuring just 3.4″ x 2.1″ x 8″ and weighing in at a mere 4.6 ounces, the Canon PowerShot SD770IS is the smallest and most compact of the Canon Elph digital cameras.
- Mega Megapixels – Getting a 10.0 megapixel resolution on a camera under $250 (especially such a well-made camera) is a great deal. The pictures are crisp, colorful, and clear without cleaning out your savings account.
- Keeps Going and Going – The battery life on the SD770IS is really fantastic. Capable of capturing upwards of 175 pictures on one charge, you can rest easy on those long trips knowing that your camera won’t quit out on you at the start.
Cons:
- More Style Please! – Although the Canon PowerShot SD770IS is an incredibly attractive camera, it doesn’t come in the variety of colors that most of the other Elph models do. This obviously isn’t a big detractor, but just a rather unfortunate occurrence.
- Lack of Smarts – Unlike the SD790, the SD770′s controls just aren’t very intuitive or flexible.
- Not a Big Screen – The Canon PowerShot SD770IS has a 2.5 inch screen. Not tiny, but it sure would be nice if it was bigger.
