Product Description
Canon's iconic ELPH design achieves a stunning new evolution with the PowerShot SD750 Digital ELPH. Utterly simple edge lines and cut surfaces gleam subtly with high-grade finishes. Of course, style means little without substance, and here the SD750 Digital ELPH more than delivers. 7.1 megapixels and DIGIC III create magnificent images, while exciting advanced technologies include Face Detection, Red-eye Correction, and time-lapse movies. Always sized to go, the SD750 Digital ELPH is now extra-durable, with a tough scratch-resistant coating on its anti-reflective, brilliantly colorful 3.0-inch LCD screen.

 Excellent, Sleek, and Stylish Camera April 4, 2007

Canon resumes its position at the top of all camera manufacturers. Their design, performance, and quality is hard to match. Now onto the camera:
I have shot around 4-5 Gigs worth of photos in various settings, so I have a good idea of what this camera has to offer. The features itself within the camera are excellent. Aside from increased megapixels, it's not much different than the SD700 except for some odd reason, Canon decided to opt out of the IS (Image Stabilization) feature. I almost gave it 4 stars based solely on that aspect. But other than that, the camera is brilliant.
For portraits and close-ups, the Face Detection feature is phenomenal which is a reflection of the new DIGIC III technology. The camera will lock in on the human face or multiple faces (I've locked in up to 8) and keep it in focus no matter where you move or pan the camera. And if you're shooting indoors or in low-light, the ISO can be set as high as 1600 so you have a lot of Flash Exposure control if you don't like that spotlight look when using the flash. There is also an Auto ISO setting which gives the user a lot of range to shoot. It will determine proper ISO setting and shutter speed and also will predict camera shake resulting in less blurry pictures. I guess this makes up for not having IS. :)
If you are a novice photographer and don't like to mess with ISO, aperture settings, and shutter speed variations this camera will fit your needs just fine. It has 17 shooting modes including "scene" modes for the different settings you may be shooting in such as the beach, fireworks, snow, portraits, night, etc. Fully automatic so any beginner can pick up this camera and shoot like a pro.
The most popular feature has to be the 3" LCD screen. It's ginormous. But in order to get that big of a screen on such a compact camera, Canon forgoes the optical viewfinder. So if you're a viewfinder shooter, then you may not like the fact you are limited to just the LCD screen for image framing.
One shortcoming of the camera is that it still has a weak zoom. 3X optical is nothing and so the zoom feature is pretty much non-existent.
The movie features on the camera are awesome. i like the Time Lapse movies where you can record time lapse of up to 2 hours and condense it into a 4 or 8 minute movie. So if you want to make that cool "cloud moving" effect or the "budding flower" you can accomplish that with this camera. The video resolution is excellent and has a VGA frame rate of 30fps.
Overall, the camera satisfies all users with being simple enough to use for beginners and also boasting features a professional can appreciate. It also looks bitchin and has a two tone effect that people admire. The corners are intelligently rounded so it slips easily in and out of any pocket you may want to put it in.
Outstanding images.... isn't that what we all want?? Here you go! April 19, 2007

I just received the SD750 for my birthday (thanks Mom & Dad!). I've had it for several days and have taken over 3 hundred pictures and tons of video. It now replaces my old Canon S400, which was a replacement for my antique Canon S110. I've remained true to Canon because I can see the amount of work they have put into making each new generation of cameras "that much better." First, the colors are so much crisper on the SD750 than in prior models, although some tweeking may be needed, you can always find a setting to capture the color you are after. Second, the video quality is outstanding (at the highest setting, that is), and Canon finally took off the 3 minute cap to video recording to allow for longer videos. Also, at the highest setting only, you can zoom in and out while recording video. I love the 3 inch display that incorporates a shifting orientation so the picture is always upright. I do wish that the camera came with a more powerful optical zoom... but I imagine I'll get that with the next generation. And in the end, I have to emphasize, that this camera takes OUSTANDING pictures. That's what a camera should do, after all. Now for a quick rundown of improvements from previous models (for you Canon loyalists):
- Much improved color
- Faster picture taking and faster everything
- Extended video capacity (to however much memory ya got)
- Large LCD to appease the instant gratification generation
- Overall improved picture quality (clarity, color saturation)
A few small camera quirks outside of picture quality... the jog dial in back (trying to emulate iPod) is not the smartest addition and the "play" button is a little hard to hit at times. Overall, I definitely without hesitation recommend this camera.
Great little camera in the SD series. Better than the SD1000 overall at the new lower price. March 11, 2008

Having used the SD1000 and the SD750 together for the same shots I can say that the SD750 offers more especially as there was no price difference on the day I purchased the SD750 (both were around 167 bucks). Earlier with the more than 50 bucks price difference I had recommended the SD1000 for price/value. At the new lower price the SD750 is the winner.
Neither model has the new Image Stabilization, which does not work so well on the SD series anyway when compared to other Canon cameras like S5. The SD750 has a 3" screen which makes shots easy to compose and view, while the SD1000 has a viewfinder with a 2.5" screen. Having used both cameras I'd take the larger screen size over the viewfinder any day as I hardly use the viewfinder. In size the SD1000 is a little more compact but the difference is barely noticeable. The SD750 has nicely rounded corners which are more aesthetically appealing to most people.
The SD750 also has a few more features in the software and better controls than the SD1000. The extra replay button at the back which lets you switch from camera to replay instantly is great. The extra Scene mode button on the top makes it faster and more convenient to get to the special modes like foliage, sunny beach, snow, portrait, nightshot, aquarium, kids and pets, fireworks and underwater. I have used all these special modes and I am very pleased with the results. Canon has really optimized the performance on each. It is so much better than fiddling with the manual controls while you lose the shot. If you read the manual carefully, you will get so much more out of this camera as it lets you get very creative with panoramic landscape shots, color swapping, color accent and different color modes.
The pictures from both cameras were comparable, both take excellent shots outdoors and don't have the best low light performance.
I also own a SD870 which has a wide angle lens and Image Stabilization. The software and all other features on the 870 are the same as 750, but the 870 costs much more. Although I like the 870 too, but I think the 750 delivers a great value for its current price.
This is the one I would buy as a gift. Very compact, good performance and intuitive controls that allow you to get creative in your shots.
I love this camera! October 18, 2007

Great pocket camera! The screen is HUGE! It does not have a viewfinder only the screen, so you have to set up shots looking at the screen. Not a problem except at night where everything is dark, but the camera adjusts to low light well. I just honeymooned in Italy and took over 2000 pictures with this camera. Not a problem the whole time. Not only is a good camera, the video it takes is great! No time limit on the video either. The only limitation is your memory card size.
When viewing your pictures the screen auto rotates, so if you want to see a vertical picture full screen just turn the camera. Very cool!

Where it goes from here, I can't imagine. The design and feel are beyond anything I could have hoped for. The screen is superb. Menus and controls are intuitive. Works fine with every SD card I've tried including 4 Gig SDHC. The PAL & NTSC TV slide feature is great. Cheap generic extra batteries easy to find. Finally a camera that you can carry with you constantly. Maybe the only negative is that you will forget you have it with you. Perhaps you could throw it in the wash with your trousers? That worries me.
One caution. This beautiful camera is so light and so small that it is very easily dropped since you forget you are holding it. Do use the handstrap! I dropped mine the very first day, and my heart sank as I watched it fly across a marble floor. It emerged totally undamaged, but I learned my lesson.
After buying two leather cases, both of which ended up seeming too big, I found a very nice and cheap "Travel Blue" brand IPOD type case made of that "wet suit" material. It works better than anything else I've seen for belt carry, reducing the carry envelope down to the smallest possible size.
