Summary: Cool And Decent Camera, Over Priced
Comment: hi to all the readers,
ive to say that the sd700 is a nice improvment over the previous models and its one of the best compact digital cameras in the market (there are around 5 cameras that are better), it has very good picture quality, you get low noise (grain) also in iso 200 and a bit higher, large and sharp lcd screen, it looks stylish it even has an optical view finder thats not so common nowdays in digital cameras, and ofcourse the picture stableiser is a special and good feature that many cameras dont offer.
on the other hand there are some issues that bug me and the biggest is the price, its to expensive for what it gives you especially when i can see in the market 5-6 or even more cameras that give you much more for less money, this model is not a brand new one but an improvement of its previous models, it wasnt made tottaly new out of scratch but it takes many parts of the previous SD models so i really dont understand why its much more expensive then other brands, especially when you think of it and realise that there are some 5-6 and even more models from diffrent brands that give you more camera for less money, some of these cameras have really cool features and many more manual posibilities, and technical stuff taken from SLR cameras and fitted into them.
as a camera i would rate it at 4.25 stars and its because of its price i would rate it 3.75 stars, in average its around a 4 star camera.

Summary: Impressive, AND Mac-compatible
Comment: I just bought this camera, so am still testing it, but here are some highlights so far:
* easy to figure out without even reading a manual
* solid, quality feel
* carried it in my front pants pocket; barely noticed it
* stunning image quality
* low-light photos, without flash, are beyond what I'd hoped for; really impressive
* while your experience may vary depending on your Mac set-up, this camera worked perfectly with iPhoto. In fact, it works better and faster than my other cameras, automatically unmounting after photos are transferred. My Mac has OS 10.4.4. I'm still using an old version of iPhoto (4.0.3). I almost didn't get this camera because of Mac-compatibility concerns noted in other reviews.
So far, this is the best camera I've ever used. Canon may have a new fan.

Summary: A Good Camera But..
Comment: This one is really a very good camrea, maybe the flagship model in the compact digital camera range of Canon, it makes good pics, it has a pic/image stabelizer,lovely design, 4X zoom like most canons compared to 3X zoon in competetive cameras, and it has many more nice features that were mentioned in previous reviews buttt..
the but is not a small one in this case, and these are the kinds of buts that diffrenciate between a good camera and a great one, it is one of the best but not the best, surely not the greatest camera in its segment:
1)almost no manual posibilities, you cant "grow" with this camera if you start liking/enjoying photography and want to expand your skills.
2)i find the digic II processor thats fitted to most of the canon models nowdays rather limited, although it gives great images, it like its sibelings has many limits and it seems over the hill compared to some of its competetors and the processors they have fitted in thier premium cameras, i have to say that this is one of the main reasons i feel somtimes that canon cameras are overrated.
3)the price, this is the biggest problem of this model, its way to high and does not justify the extra 25% till 40% percent you pay for other cameras in its premium segment, further more other cameras in its segment offer a larger varity of technical,manual and tecnological features for even two thirds of this cameras price.
4)there is also an issue with the mic when filming video, as several reviewers have mentioned.
Canon has produced a very good camrea, solved many problems of its predeseccors, dont see this review as a negetive one!! its easy to say whats good about it and honestly it has lots of things going for it and whoever buys it will surely enjoy it, its one of the top 5 camreas in its segment, that means one of the top 5 compact digital cameras out there today, but i can think easily of two, three camreas that do it for less and do it better.

Summary: Awesome Compact Camera
Comment: I've owned several digital cameras and the Canon SD700 IS is by far my favorite. I purchased this camera because I wanted a camera that supported photo sizes 8 X 10 or more, it had to be small and compact, have good optical zoom, and have excellent picture quality. After comparing with other brands, I found this camera had all my requirements and a whole lot more.
It's just the right size to take with you anywhere. The camera starts up quickly and is very responsive. The image stabilization works beautifully and is useful on a camera so small. Canons optical technology is superb as photos are accurately rendered and developed prints are vibrant and detailed. I love having a 4x optical zoom on a compact camera.
Along with the camera I purchased a large capacity secure digital memory card and an additional Canon NB-5L battery. I purchased the SanDisk 2 GB Ultra II Secure Digital Memory Card and at the highest image quality setting it holds 720 photos. I've always liked having an extra battery to extend my camera use.
I've been very satisfied with Canon products in general and this camera is no exception.

Summary: a wonderful little camera that fits all your needs!
Comment: This is a great little camera that is a point and shoot! The image stabilizer works wonderfully and the pics are great. The flash is a little weak and if you don't have adequate light your pics are a little yellow...but other than this, I cannot complain. I have waited and waited for a good small camera to carry around and in my opinion, this is the best. I bought a panasonic Lumix first before buying this one and sent it back...it was so horrible, and it has the image stabilizer in it, but the pictures were very fuzzy. This are good crisp clean photos. I purchased it through bluestripephoto.com for the best price and LOVE them..they are great! with shipping and all it was $420! Check it out!
