I purchased 3 of these for my family. They were a great deal and this is a great pocket camera. I shoot Nikon Pro bodies and I needed something to keep my family from wanting me to pull out my camera and take pictures everytime I turned around. This did the trick.

I shoot a Canon 30D. This little camera is great when the big camera does not fit the event. I purchased it to get a small digital with a viewfinder.

Bought the camera for my husband who wanted more than an LCD for viewing. Small enough to put in his pocket, and great picture quality. Happiest he has been with a product I purchased for him in years!

Bought 3 of these for my kids and wife. I shoot Nikon Pro bodies, but my wife was always bugging me to get out my camera and take a picture. I bought her one of these and she doesn't bug me any more for pictures. Its been a great camera and my kids each have one.

We gave this camera to our grandchildren ages 8 and 11. They found it very easy to use right out of the box. Lithium battery life is very good. Large LCD for in camera editing of photos. The optical view finder is very handy for bright light outdoor photos. Small size but easy to use controls.

Comments about Canon Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH Camera, 12.1 Megapixel, 3x Optical Zoom, Black - Refurbished:

If you don't mind refurbished items, this camera is a very good value. It's truly pocket-sized. I love having the optical viewfinder. Although it's not as accurate as I would like, it does zoom in concert with the lens. Some people complain the viewfinder is too tiny, but I got used to it quickly and it sure beats squinting at a washed out LCD in bright sunlight. The 12 MPs plus the Canon lens quality is all I need to put my photo software to work making great pictures.

Comments about Canon Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH Camera, 12.1 Megapixel, 3x Optical Zoom, Black - Refurbished:

Love this little camera. It's the perfect pocket camera. I find the little viewfinder very useful in bright sun and it zooms with the lens! In fact, I chose 780 over the 940 specifically because of the viewfinder. Hey, it's not a DSLR, but for what it was designed to do and for the price, it can't be beat.
