PMA 2010 Report
Canon strengthens its reputation for excellence in digital compact camera design with a new digital camera model: the slimmest ever Digital Elph model, the 12.1 Megapixel Digital Elph SD780 IS - known as Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS in Europe. The new Canon Digital Elph SD780 IS features a new Smart Auto mode, which uses Canon’s Scene Detection Technology to help users take great shots with ease. The Digital Elph SD780 IS also includes the option to shoot HD movies (1280 x 720, 30fps) and HDMI connectivity. Replacing the Canon PowerShot SD770 IS, the Canon Digital Elph SD780 IS features a striking, 18.4mm wide stainless steel body, finished in a choice of silver, black, gold or red - making it ideal for the most prestigious of occasions.

The addition of Canon’s DIGIC 4 processor allows the Canon Digital Elph SD780 IS to deliver ultra-fast operation, and rich, low-noise images with outstanding clarity and colour reproduction.

Canon Elph SD780IS camera technologies
Thanks to DIGIC 4 processing, Canon’s intelligent technologies are now more accurate than ever. Improved Motion Detection aids blur-free capture of moving subjects. i-Contrast brightens the dark areas of a photo without blowing out correctly-exposed areas. Face Detection Technology can register multiple faces in a frame and adjusts settings for better results, also included is Blink Detection, which helps avoid the disappointment of a mistimed portrait shot. Face Self-Timer simplifies group shots or self portraits by waiting until the user enters the frame before shooting. Auto Red-Eye Correction removes the unwanted red-eye effect caused by flash photography, either during or after shooting. In addition, the Canon Digital Elph SD780 IS offers a smarter, newly improved User Interface - making functions even easier and more intuitive to access.
