Think about this - this is a $220 camera. For the price, you get a real compact camera with HD video capability.
Camera review:
1) Great size. It's amazing they are able to cram everything on something this small.
2) Great weight. It is real light and not a drag in my pocket when I'm wearing shorts or khaki pants.
3) The LCD screen is good. 2.5 inch is more than you need to do quick reviews, deal with the settings, etc.
4) The viewfinder is quite small but who uses that for point and shoot cameras anyway.
5) Buttons - no problems with using the buttons or the zoom knob. I have large hands and can navigate pretty easy.
6) Quiet - the motor is noticeably quieter than my old Canon SD600.
7) Picture quality - excellent as always. I tend to shoot in normal mode with either 12 or 8MP and the quality looks great. This is a point and shoot so you are not going to get vibrant pictures as you do with a DSLR. However the quality is real good so I have no complaints here.
8) Zoom - I like the 3x zoom. No problems. I think the digital zoom is okay but then it's not always good on any point and shoot.
Video review:
1) Great video. It outputs in 720P HD quality. Nice look and feel when viewing on a computer or on tv. HDMI port is a bonus on the camera.
2) Only drawback is you can't optically zoom while filming. But then think about the size of the camera - so plan your shots accordingly before filming. You'll get good video clips for the web to share. Not going to produce an oscar-winning film with this :)
Overall:
What else can I or anyone else say? Great camera for all the features offered for $220. I love the color, red, too. Nice to have a different color than the same old silver or black boring colors.
If you are curious about the quality of pictures or video, go to Vimeo or Flicr and do search for SD780. It should be enough to convince you to buy this.
