Canon PowerShot SD790IS 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom Reviews
Not sure if anyone else has this problem but even with the no-red-eye mode turned on all of my pictures have horrible red eye. Everything else about it is great for a pocket point&shoot, just don't use it for night-time photos of people without great lighting. I've also tried turning it off and same issue. Besides do I really have time to go and touch up tons of photos when my other cameras don't have this problem. Anyone else have this problem and find a setting combination to fix it. I've tried the red-eye correction post processing feature and it works maybe 50% of the time, and only at the right distances.
I've had two previous versions of the PowerShot, one being the 750. I've had this camera for about 6 months now. I've purchased my 3rd one for a reason. It is a great little camera that is small enough to go anywhere, but packs enough MP's to take poster sized pictures.
The SD790IS was my casual camera for events when I didn't want to bring my 5D. I recently bought a canon 5D Mark II and love it. It can be corrected but not always. It broke on my camera, I cannot use the video mode. *The shutter speed is WAY too slow.
The main problems with the SD790IS are:. This cannot be corrected for and has ruined several great shots. Continous shots are impossible with the built-in flash, so many great shots are lost. Initially, the camera was great.
*The sliding plastic button to change over to video is cheaply constructed. Canon needs to produce a more reliable (and faster)camera if it wants to lead this market. *The video quality was poor anyway and far inferior to HD video. I purchased this camera because of its sleek design and small size. *Heavy artifacts with flash use and low light conditions.
*Red Eye is really bad with the flash. I purchased the canon powershot SD790IS 10 MP and have owned it for six months. I love canon products but I do not recommend this product. Although it is capable of taking great photos it has too many flaws.
The panel the holds the strap disconnected. I've own this camera for almost a year and it literally began to fall apart. Overall, I was very disappointed. Beyond that the camera turns itself on quite easily when it's in your pocket. You know this review will probably come back and bite me because I want to sell this camera and get rid of it. There were also some other "adjustments" that had to be done (I noticed that the side panel is now screwed into the camera). The body of the camera started to separate.
I also had some LCD monitor problems with strange spots showing up. After some complaining, the company agreed to repair the camera "as a courtesy" on the warranty. Apparantly, the company found that the optical assembly was inoperative and had to be replaced. The top button to switch between video and camera is easily bumped and you end up taking a video instead of an important shot. The physical construction of the camera was just lacking. The rotating menu button is also awkward and the movement between photos jumpy. I never had them fall apart like this.
This camera went to hell in less than a year. When I called Canon they told me, "Yeah, we've had a few problems with that wristband panel.".
I sent the camera in for repairs and Canon wanted to charge me for "mishandling the camera" - due to the dent caused by the camera falling. I typically use NIKON cameras but decided to try out Canon.
I'm giving the camera two stars instead of one because at least the photos turned out decent and many of the extra features on the camera were nice. The camera fell off my arm to the ground and dented.
The camera is refurbished now and I'll likely dump it for some other model and brand. To their credit: The camera was totally refurbished in less than a week and returned.
I had my Nikons for years and beat them up. The video looks decent and you could zoom in fairly good.
I love the look of it, the features it has.basically, just everything about it. It's definitely worth the price & so much more. I LOVE this camera.
