One of the latest ultra-compacts announced by Canon in 2009 is the SD780 IS Digital ELPH. The SD1200 and SD780 are almost twins; with the latter being the higher end model of the two. To give you a rundown of the SD780 IS Digital ELPH’s features; it has 12 megapixels, a 3X zoom lens which goes a tad wider than the one on the SD1200, 2.5 inch LCD with an optical viewfinder as well as a high-definition 720p movie mode. Did I mention the camera has Canon’s latest DIGIC 4 processor, bells & whistles and also comes in your choice of four (wild) colors?
As with all the Digital ELPHs of the past, this one has three (!!) names. It’s known as the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH in the US while in places around the world, like Europe and Asia, it’s called the Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS. And in Japan, the same camera sells under the IXY DIGITAL name.
