I am looking to purchase a Canon SD750 with the black lens that has NO physical damage. I have a lot of scratches on my camera and works great... it's just that I want it to look "newer". So if you are willing to sell it, let me know and we'll work something out. Thanks! :)

i DROPPED MINE ON A HARD WOOD FLOOR WITH THE LENS OUT AND THOUGHT WAS BROKEN - THEN FOUND OUT IT WOULD COST THE SAME AS NEW TO FIX SO - I THOUGHT WHAT DO I HAVE TO LOSE - SO I TOOK HOLD OF THE LENS AND JUST BENT IT TO BE STRAIGHT AGAIN - AND IT WORKED I THOUGHT I WOULD CRACK IT OFF BUT IT POPPED BACK INTO PLACE AND PERFECT AGAIN.

My boyfriend has the 1100, and I have the 750. Having it over a year now, I would say... go with the 1100. The picture quality and everything in relation to picture taking is practically the same; it's just the external features that set the two apart. Now, I don't know if my battery's getting old or whatever, but the huge screen does wear out the battery, I must admit. I charge it perfectly every time, yet... using it two hours later or something, the low battery will show up. Makes me angry and makes me want to upgrade, even. So, yeah, go smaller screen for 750.

I bought this camera for my daughter last Christmas. She dropped it inside her purse and cracked the back black screen after only two months. She was studying abroad at the time, so we could not send it in. The crack continued to get larger, but with no effect on the photos she took. While we could have chosen not to send it in, thought it would be best to see what Canon would do about it after only such a short time. $94 later, it looks nice, but sorry I sent it in.

i recently dropped my camera and the lens error appeared.. how do i fix the problem...

I can't decide between the SD750 and the Cannon 1100..the 1100 is a better price and has image stabilization, but I love the look and feel of the 750 as well as the way the pictures look..have you used the 1100 at all? What made you go for this camera a year after it was released once u dropped it the first time? did you not want to upgrade?

I contacted canon and you can send to their repair center. I slammed my camera on the floor and the screen went dead. Still took great pics, but unfortunately couldn't see what I was shooting since there is no viewfinder. To repair and shipping it was $110 so I opted not to because the Canon 1100 is now $140. I love my camera. Always took the best pictures. I bought the SX110 and had to return that. Way too professional. I haven't tested it out in the store but does anyone know if the 1100 is the same size as the 750?

i think it is because the d610, d810, and the d750 are so new. they just havent updated their list i ran in to the same thing with my d750 an looked at the cameras on their list and made went from there. (they also work with my d750.

Hey Sean,I am eager to see your new posts about your camera. Since the prices are dropping dramatically here, I will order one soon myself. On another site, someone said that one of the issues with people... not the camera is that they keep expecting it to do what a DSLR (I think that is right/ I am inexperienced here) does. What are soft images?

@Hugh - by the time I get to evaluating and posting, many reviews will be posted. I'm leaving in a week for a multi-month hike 3 days after the camera is due to arrive.Interestingly, the Sony website now says they're taking pre-orders and it will ship 3/17. I've got my e-mail saying it will ship 3/12 so I'll see by the end of today what happened.

I recently purchased this camera. I fully agree with the success of the firmware updates. I tried a P7000 from a local retailer when it was first introduced but returned it. I can attest to the improvements being REAL and VERY EFFECTIVE. I would like to add I recently shot some comparison photos with my P7000 and my D300 with the 18-200 VR Nikkor zoom. I haven't downloaded to my computer at this point but the on camera screen appearance of the photos on the backs of each camera gives the edge to the P7000!!! If you find that hard to believe...so do I. I'll do more shots, download to my computer and report the results. I recently purchased this camera.

I can't pre-order... Too little faith in canon cameras when they are released. I will probably get it down the road (feb-march) if their aren't any issues. Would upgrade from mkII. Would be nice if canon could release the 1d and 1ds as one camera, and just allow us to switch between high fps and high MP. But alas, I'll refrain.

Baku: I purchased a D70 s new. I purchased 2 used D 70 s cameras, one through Amazon. 1. I was pleased with the quality/condition of the unit; there was an instruction booklet, charger - the condition was more than I expected. Now let me tell you what a premier repair shop in Cleveland said. "It is everything you need" talking to me. I have a 35-70 2.8, 80 - 200 2.8 and a 85 1.8 among others. Mike's retired principal has a D 60 and he takes great photos. If you can purchase a D 70 s used ( I assume you have Nikon lenses ), it is worth purchasing. I know, I know the latest sounds like it is a great camera & some people like to take streaming video but, I am a bit of a purist. Mike

Have you received and tested out the M400? I'm also in the same boat--weighing the manual features of the S200 vs. the (possibly better?) video quality of the M400. I've scoured the net for initial reactions to the video performance of the HF M4 series and haven't found any as of yet. So, when you do test it out, please let us know your thoughts. Thanks!

Thanks, M. That certainly is very helpful information. I haven't made up my mind yet, although I'm leaning towards the SD750 for its compactness (looking for something to carry all the time, since I already have the A640 for 'picture occasions' or travel - really great for simple pns, particularly the rotating LCD, but somewhat bulky). I will have to check out the LCD to see if I can tolerate the grainy images though.

Thank you so much for you reply!! I did wind up getting the SanDisk Extreme III 2Gb. Now its time to start learning how to use the camera ;o)

I'm also curious about this camera as it compares to the Sony SD1200 and the Sony SD780. Any comments from the group?

Not until you mentioned it.Now looking at the SD870 IS, the upgrades from SD850 IS are:1)3" LCD2)No Viewfinder (downgrade)3)3.8" Optical Zoom (Less by 0.2")4)Wide Angle (Biggest Difference between all 3 models)Of course, I forgot to mention the megapixels (7 vs 8) but everyone looks at that and unless you print, it doesn't make a difference at this level.The price just keeps getting higher and I'm not so sure I really need all those features. Do you see yourself using the wide angle? Is the IS that much more helpful than holding down and focusing first?

This is a pretty embarrassing story. About 6 months ago the screen went black. I took it to a store. I was going to get a new one. At the shop, it slipped out of my hands and it clattered onto the glass counter top! I turned it on and there was the screen working again! It has been working ever since! I love this camera. Weird, huh?

I hope its not to late, post was May 13th, and its the end of June. When the HX5V first came out it was $350, I pre-order mine through sonystyle, I got a discount though. I've never had any problems with my camera and I've had it since March 2010. I don't blow any pictures up, I just take them and put them on my computer, then a back up hard drive, I've never had any poor quality pictures. I can't upload photo's here, but if you want to see, I can send a few.

R. Frey/others,Did you buy the 770?If yes, how did you like it?I have an unopened 1100 sitting here. I am concerned about getting everything from the 1100's menu vs. dialing scenes when shooting. The small price difference is not an issue. I need to decide ASAP. Problem . . few cameras in stores have a battery to enabling shooting and overall handling.Opinions on the Canon 770, 1100 or other models welcome.Sunbeltsue1

What did you end up doing? My s95 died last week (no idea why) and I was perfectly happy with it up until that point. There are enough negative reviews on the newer canons to give me pause but anything has to beat a completely dead camera.

I just got mine in the mail today and tried a few small videos around the house and am having video quality issues as well. I would say I'm not even getting 480i quality. The image is incredibly speckly (non-static blotches moving around in the darks). Looks the same whether I play it on my HDTV or on my computer (plenty fast for HD video). What am I doing wrong? Tried wiping the lens with a lens cloth...no effect. Batteries weren't charged yet, but since it's digital, not sure that should make a difference.Also, as a side note, do the people who are getting good quality use the digital zoom at all, or does it degrade your resolution by half?
