Pros:
Inlaid buttons. Well-integrated wheel control. |
 |
Cons:
Not the best 10-megapixel images we've seen. Lacks features, particularly manual control. |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| The Canon SD790 IS is a typical 10-megapixel compact in an innovative body. The feature-set is workable and includes optical image-stabilization, though the panorama assist is lacking, and we would have liked to see more additions like manual control and different flash modes. Thankfully the interface is greatly boosted by a wheel controller, a mode toggle and cool inlaid buttons. Image quality is decent for this price range - we've seen better and worse - though noise management is exceptional. All-in-all in the SD790 is by no means a disaster, but it fails to stand out. |
