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

May 10, 2010 - 6:57 pm 25 Comments

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 1280×720 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.

Timelapse Guide (Compact Digital Cameras – Part 2)

March 7, 2010 - 7:21 am 25 Comments

Onward we go to the compact cameras that I’ve found with a built-in interval timer (intervolometer). Please add to the list in the comments! I’m always looking for more compacts that have timers. Sorry that I lingered on the almost impossible to find Epsons but they served some other important points.
