 Mostly great but always have red eye issues June 30, 2009
Ryan Seabury (Denver, CO USA)
Not sure if anyone else has this problem but even with the no-red-eye mode turned on all of my pictures have horrible red eye. I've tried the red-eye correction post processing feature and it works maybe 50% of the time, and only at the right distances. I've also tried turning it off and same issue. Besides do I really have time to go and touch up tons of photos when my other cameras don't have this problem? Anyone else have this problem and find a setting combination to fix it?
Everything else about it is great for a pocket point&shoot, just don't use it for night-time photos of people without great lighting.
 Great Reliable Camera June 19, 2009
J. Tsai (Bellevue, WA)
I've had this camera for about 6 months now. It is a great little camera that is small enough to go anywhere, but packs enough MP's to take poster sized pictures. I've had two previous versions of the PowerShot, one being the 750. I've purchased my 3rd one for a reason.
 Too many flaws June 18, 2009

I purchased the canon powershot SD790IS 10 MP and have owned it for six months. Initially, the camera was great. I purchased this camera because of its sleek design and small size. I recently bought a canon 5D Mark II and love it. The SD790IS was my casual camera for events when I didn't want to bring my 5D. The main problems with the SD790IS are:
*Red Eye is really bad with the flash. It can be corrected but not always.
*The sliding plastic button to change over to video is cheaply constructed. It broke on my camera, I cannot use the video mode.
*The video quality was poor anyway and far inferior to HD video
*The shutter speed is WAY too slow. Continous shots are impossible with the built-in flash, so many great shots are lost.
*Heavy artifacts with flash use and low light conditions. This cannot be corrected for and has ruined several great shots.
I love canon products but I do not recommend this product. Although it is capable of taking great photos it has too many flaws. Canon needs to produce a more reliable (and faster)camera if it wants to lead this market.
Camera poorly made June 10, 2009
Mark A. Schaefer (Los Angeles, CA USA)

You know this review will probably come back and bite me because I want to sell this camera and get rid of it. I've own this camera for almost a year and it literally began to fall apart. The body of the camera started to separate. The panel the holds the strap disconnected. The camera fell off my arm to the ground and dented!! When I called Canon they told me, "Yeah, we've had a few problems with that wristband panel."
I also had some LCD monitor problems with strange spots showing up. I sent the camera in for repairs and Canon wanted to charge me for "mishandling the camera" - due to the dent caused by the camera falling. After some complaining, the company agreed to repair the camera "as a courtesy" on the warranty. To their credit: The camera was totally refurbished in less than a week and returned. Apparantly, the company found that the optical assembly was inoperative and had to be replaced. There were also some other "adjustments" that had to be done (I noticed that the side panel is now screwed into the camera.)
Beyond that the camera turns itself on quite easily when it's in your pocket. The top button to switch between video and camera is easily bumped and you end up taking a video instead of an important shot. The rotating menu button is also awkward and the movement between photos jumpy.
Overall, I was very disappointed. I typically use NIKON cameras but decided to try out Canon. This camera went to hell in less than a year. I had my Nikons for years and beat them up. I never had them fall apart like this. The camera is refurbished now and I'll likely dump it for some other model and brand. I'm giving the camera two stars instead of one because at least the photos turned out decent and many of the extra features on the camera were nice. The video looks decent and you could zoom in fairly good. The physical construction of the camera was just lacking.
Worth the price! June 9, 2009
Jen (Central Valley, California)
I LOVE this camera! I love the look of it, the features it has...basically, just everything about it! It's definitely worth the price & so much more!
