Cons:
NOT YET Really worth owning, you won't be Disappointed.
This camera has new features including a"TOUCH WHEEL" like the IPOD and a 230,000 pixel screen +more.
I'm really impressed with everything about this camera.
Yes they could have added Image Stabilization, but if I don't like a picture I take I'll just delete it. After all that's one of the great parts of DIGITAL.

Cons:
Lacks the image stabilization Sandwiched between similar 7-megapixel siblings--the PowerShot SD800 IS on one side and the PowerShot SD1000 on the other--the Canon PowerShot SD750 nevertheless manages to distinguish itself as a well-designed, practical option for snapshooters who favor big LCDs over optical viewfinders.
The 5.3-ounce SD750 doesn't quite match the SD1000 for compactness, but its 3.6x2.2x0.8 inch body will fit just as comfortably in a pants pocket. It comes in silver and silver with black accents, the latter design recalling the early film Elphs. The Touch Dial Control--so named for its optional ability to display a virtual dial when you simply touch the control--quickly accesses the small set of shooting options, including ISO speed, flash mode, macro/infinite focus, and continuous/timer. Though it doesn't offer manual or semi-manual exposure modes, it does supply a host of color enhancements and scene modes, exposure compensation, and a choice of three metering modes.
For focus, Canon provides a face-detection AF mode, which automatically locates a face (just one) and determines focus and metering for it. That's in addition to the company's standard AiAF automatic focus-point selector and center focus. The face-detect AF works reasonably well, but the option is buried within the menus and only works in conjunction with the AiAF; that is, if it doesn't find a face, it falls back on AiAF. I generally don't like the automatic focus selection on any camera--they never seem to find the desired subject, just the closest. So I don't like the face-detection option stuck in a set-it-and-forget-it location. You may feel otherwise.
Overall, however, I find the SD750's layout intelligent and comfortable to use. It has a big 3-inch LCD for framing and playback. The LCD appears bright and easy to see, even in direct sunlight, although it also tends to look a bit coarse.
For more details on the SD750's design and image quality, click the image.
Photo and movie quality rank high for an ultracompact. In fact, despite almost identical innards with the SD1000--they both use the same sensor, f /2.8-4.9 35mm-105mm (35mm equivalent) 3X zoom lens, and Digic III processor--the photos from the SD750 look a bit better, especially vis-a-vis high ISO noise. As measured by CNET Labs' tests and in photo samples, the SD750's noise profile generally outperformed both the SD1000 and the SD800 IS. With the exception of photos shot under our extremely warm tungsten lights, white balance, exposure, and saturation look very good. Movies look equally good, in part because Canon captures in MJPEG, which uses far less compression than other cameras' MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 formats. As a result, a 30fps 640x480 movie uses about 2MB per second of storage.
On the other hand, the SD750's performance matched that of the SD1000. It takes 1.0 second from start to shoot, with subsequent photos about 1.6 seconds apart without flash and 2.3 seconds with the flash enabled. Shutter lag measures 0.5 second in our high-contrast test, which mimics bright shooting conditions, and 0.9 second in our low-contrast test, which mimics dim shooting conditions. Continuous shooting was the only disappointment--approximately 1.6 frames per second regardless of image size.
It lacks the image stabilization of the SD800 IS and the tiny appeal of the SD1000, but the Canon PowerShot SD750 has a more elegant, cutting-edge design, large LCD and--to my eyes, at least--better photo quality.

Pros:
Large bright 3" screen, pocket sized, fast startup and quick quality picture taking. |

Cons:
Large screen generally tends to get scratches if not carefull. Why I got this camera?
I wanted a camera that would:
A. Fit COMFORTABLY in my pocket
B. Turn on FAST
C. Have a LARGE screen
D. Take AMAZING photos
I recieved all four of these in this camera. I bought it just before I went on a vacation and it didnt disapoint. I spent only a few minutes learning the camera before I was off and running. The large screen is easy to see even outdoors.
When in my pocket I hardly noticed it was there. My cell phone is almost as big as it. The lithion battery charges fast and can really hold a charge.
Only negative I can find at this point is that the large screen can get scratched if your not carefull. Just keep keys and such away from it when in your pocket, but almost any camera with a large screen will have this potential problem, and you dont notice the scratches when the camera is turned on.
Picture quality is also top notch. Amazing detail in all my photos and there are many cool features included in the cameras software. One is a color select, where it shows only one color while making the rest of the picture black and white. This makes for some really interestic artistic photos.
Overall this camera is well worth it. Enjoy!

shutter lag A friend of mine has this kind of camera and we played around with it. Apparently the images are really good; I find them crisp and well-colored. But why does it take around a second for the shutter to take a picture?
The modes are nice to play around with, and the LCD display is a big turn on. I really love this camera... the shutter just bugs me.
