If you are currently in the market for a new camera then you have a bewildering array of choices. At the moment one of the most popular digital cameras on the market is the Canon PowerShot SD780IS
This is a great little camera that features a 3x optical xoom, 12.1MP and a 2.5 inch liquid crystal display. Cost wise it is also very affordable at $199.
It has over 300 positive reviews on Amazon with many reviewers pointing out the positive benefits as:
+ Shoots video in HD (1280 x 720)
+ Nice and small so fits into a bag easily
+ Very quick startup times, so good for getting a quick shot
+ Bright LCD screen so good in dim light
+ You can edit video clips on the go
+ Takes Great pictures
And a few downsides as:
- No Optical Zoom in Video Mode while Recording (You can Digitally Zoom)
- Monotone Sound in Video Mode
- Only 3x Optical Zoom for image stills
- View Finder needs work
- Little Noisy/Grainy when Using Higher Than ISO400 but Acceptable
Overall it currently has 4.5 stars out of 5 with 327 reviews.

To help you decide I thought I would also compile a list of some of the best video review about the Canon PowerShot SD780IS all in one spot. So check them out 
Here is a live unboxing by a real person. For some odd reason he calls himself ‘The Appealing Apple’? Go figure. His name is actually Dan He does a good job of going through all the features of the camera, and after watching this you will know exactly what you would get with this camera (He has a nice silver one)
An example of the video quality you can expect in this Canon Powershot SD780is HD Camera Test video (Nice shot of his furry dog as well!)
This little dude looks about 4 years old, but actually does a good job of reviewing the camera (his one is black – watch out for the discussion about red vs black a little way in. He likes old people! Honest!) Makes a nice change from the hyper glitzy, buy my stuff reviews.
