YouTube ‘visionary’, and creator of the hit YouTube series, “Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This?”, Jonny Paula shares his opinionated and enlightened view of the world with you… one amazingly mediocre video at a time. New videos uploaded daily! Unless he posts an episode of “Jon’s Adventure Vlog” instead!

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.

Check out my 1280×70HD video movie sample clips from this tiny camera on my previous video uploaded..
