Canon PowerShot SD770 IS

The Canon SD770 IS Digital ELPH features a ten megapixel 1/2.3" CCD imager and a Canon-branded 3x optical zoom lens with image stabilization, which covers a fairly standard range of 35-105mm equivalent - a moderate wide angle to a moderate telephoto. Exposure is fully automatic, but the user can tweak it with 2.0EV of exposure compensation and four metering modes to handle difficult lighting, including a mode which ties metering to the camera's face detection system. Eleven scene modes keep the SD770 approachable for beginners. A long-exposure mode in the Canon SD770 IS ELPH lets you set exposure times as long as 15 seconds manually, and a 2.5" LCD display plus an real-image optical zoom viewfinder - rather rare on digicams these days - caters for framing images. The SD770 derives its power from a new, proprietary NB-6L lithium-ion battery pack, and is rated at 300 shots per charge with the LCD on (CIPA method).
