I bought this camera yesterday man the pictures are amazing and so is the video I love the large lcd screen this beat out my Casio Exifilm camera (which broke after 6 months) this is my first canon ever and I am very impressed
The CHDK firmware is coming. CHDK is saved onto the memory card. You make the card a bootable disk(people can help you at the CHDK Wiki site) and switch the card to 'lock'. It gives you more power over the camera including USB remote capture, and exposures up to 64 seconds for taking pics of the stars. It has lots of other features that Canon has left out. I have a working version that you can get from CHDK Wiki. Look it up
I am fortunate to own both the 790is and 870is and would give a detailed comparison. First in terms of picture quality, sharpness and color both looked exactly the same. Build quality 790 is better because it is sleek and rigid with metal body. Lens quality 790is is better because of the wideangle lens and 3.8x zoom. Feature is the same but the 870is has better screen color and resolution. So I would go for the 870is if I were to choose between the two.
great vid on the camera im looking at getting one, but it is real important to know what the shutter speed is and if your able to change the shutter speed and does it have a audio out and your comment on the image quality
i already have a camcorder i just need a camera on the go and to take videos at school something small so that i am not caught with a camcorder with a baby death fisheye
After watching this (and a bunch of others) i went out and picked one up, i love it... hands down the best point and shoot out there. It feels like a deck of cards in your pocket, it's like nothing, awesome camera
Optical zoom is when the lens actually moves closer to what you're trying to shoot. Digital zoom is not really getting closer to the object, it's like looking at a picture and blowing up a certain part, though it will be more pixelated and fuzzy. Optical zoom is like actually moving closer to the object, but digital is like using a computer to zoom. Also, the high-megapixel cameras we have now capture more pixels and let you zoom in more using real pixels.
Very nice unboxing - I am in panic mode to get something for my wife(mother's day) she lost last camera and I was going to replace it with this. Your video was well spoken, infomative and to the point. I need to run to C.City right now to get this, I'll check out ur your videos later.
Is this camera no longer available because I can't seem to find it in any stores : (

I'm not sure why you'd get a digital still camera for videos.
MooseOfReason 3 years ago
It takes videos too so check before you reply.
Supersecretfilms 3 years ago
I know. Most digital cameras do. That wasn't my point, though. They aren't really built for that.
If I'm going to film something, I'd be looking for a camcorder.

Who wants to carry around a bulky camcorder with crappy battery life?

Someone who wants better video quality than a digital camera with crappy battery life?
Also, not all camcorders are bulky.

In other words, don't use digital zoom
