This is my third canon elph camera. I got this one on ebay to use as a spare that I can carry in my pocket. The images on this particular camera are a bit blurred, but that has not been my experience on other Canon Elphs I have used, so I'm thinking the viewfinder is just getting worn out. this is a nice little feature packed unit that is convenient to take with you most anywhere you go. I would recommend buying new instead of used to avoid poor image quality.

I bought this camera because, while still serviceable, my old 3 megapixel Olympus camera (which I primarily use to take pictures of items I sell here on Ebay) eats batteries like crazy and does not have very much memory. I read great things about this camera, and found it for a fantastic price here. I like the fun red color, and the fact that's tiny but seems sturdy. I'm not a great photographer, so it's automatic mode features compensate nicely for my lack of skills. :-) I was disappointed that it did not come with a memory card included, so I couldn't just open the box and start playing. It did come with a battery AND battery charger, though, which is a wonderful improvement over my old camera. It also seems to not be so power-hungry despite all of the features and 12.1 megapixel resolution. Overall, this is a very functional camera that fits right in your pocket, and is very easy to use for even the least camera-savvy folks out there. The fact that it also shoots HD video (though I have not personally used the video features yet) is also awesome. Highly recommended -- I would given an "Excellent" rating if it also had come with a memory card included.Read full review
Here is my take after shooting about 500 pics and a dozen or so videos. A very capable camera, limited zoom, small enough to carry every day if you wish. Good battery life, nice color rendition. Tiny viewfinder( but at least there is one), solid feel, quality build. Will accept a 32GB memory card, I chose an 8GB( 43mins of HD video or a couple thousand pics, plenty for me). I never loaded the enclosed software but use Picasa (Google) instead, love it. Great screen with some washout in bright sun, but usable. The user interface feels intuitive ( with a couple of exceptions that must be learned), much like my wife's SD 870is. The flash is limited to about 6 feet and I used it for fill in some shadowy outside shots and liked the results. I primarily bought this camera so I could keep it in my pocket every day. I take it hiking and biking. Perfect for that. I went to Yosemite recently and found the 3x optical zoom a little limiting, but with 12 MP I can enlarge and crop to compensate somewhat. The digital zoom reaches 12x, but after 3x the picture degrades. You have to give up some features for such a compact size. If size matters, It's a great little camera for it's intended purpose, I'm happy with it and would buy it again.Read full review
Great little camera. I had this same model 5 years ago until I switched to Lumix (which are all now made NOT in Japan) and the quality and operation is superb. With 12MP, every a picture can easily be enlarged to at least the size of my 23 inch diagonal monitor. And has lot's of features. Optics are fantastic. It has a VIEWFINDER! Only issues, which may not be issues at all, are lack of exposure bracketing and the lens at F3.2 is a bit slow (my older Japanese Lumix's have bracketing and F2.8 lenses). Still, the Canon is much quieter when the lens extends or retracts, a problem with a Lumix has often been failure of the gears which are a bit noisier (honestly, I've owned 14 in the past, bought used, 4 had an issue, 1 complete failure, even though it would still take pictures, I still have 4). I just love the little Canon.Read full review

I purchase a used Canon SD780IS camera hoping for a gently used unit and was very please to receive a nearly pristine camera that takes excellent pictures and so far has had no issues. It is small and easy to carry along any time for quick candid shots. I do video and this allows me to use a seperate camera instead of intermixing video and still shooting.
