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..
