Canon PowerShot SD780IS Digital Elph camera quick overview and user review camera vlog

Canon SD780IS review. My impressions of one of the smallest tiny cameras on the market, the SD 780 IS compact digital ultra portable ultra thin pocket camera. Video shot with my trusty Canon S3IS.

Quick tour and demonstration of the menus and basic functionality of the SD 780 covered. The ultra slim form factor and the 1280x720 HD at 30fps are the biggest draws to this point and shoot that initially attracted me to this camera.

This would make an awesome helmet mounted cam. Much more affordable than a dedicated helmetcam as well. I've mounted it on my bicycle helmet and seems to work well. Will post vids of the rides soon.

Check out my 1280x70HD video movie sample clips from this tiny camera on my previous video uploaded..

why cant i hear the sound of the video when i play it back on the camera..i can see the video i just cant hear it?

[LEXPIX]

@bangon9 You may have to bump up the audio in the setting menu.

The volume of the speakers is not very loud. I was bummed out about the weak in-camera audio playback.

[LEXPIX]

@dude07x You can either download directly from your camera via USB cable or card reader.
