Very thin and compact. Black model looks great. 720p HD video capability. mini-DVI output on camera. My only complaints are the pictures and videos can look noisy/grainy in low light situations such as when you are indoors.

A great little camera for amateur & pro
By Billy BobVerified Buyer from Killingworth, CT on 10/27/2009
Pros:
Bright LCD, Comfortable Controls, Easy to Keep Clean, Great Picture Quality
Cons:
Flimsy cable door, Weak Construction
Best Uses:
Family Photos, Travel
Describe Yourself:
Casual Photographer
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Digital Camera, Black:

Have to get used to lag in focusing. The "door" covering the two cable connections seems very flimsy and could break off easily. Otherwise, once you become familiar with the menu selections and access to them, the camera is easy to use, and because it's so small, it can always be carried in a pocket for quick access.
