A feature-packed little camera, the Canon SD750 offers seven megapixels of resolution, and a whopping 3.0" LCD display which serves as the only option for image framing - it forgoes any form of optical viewfinder. The Canon SD750's 3x zoom lens covers a fairly average range from 35-105mm equivalent, a moderate wide angle to a moderate telephoto.

Exposure is fully automatic, but the user can bias it up or down with 2.0EV of exposure compensation in 1/3EV steps to handle difficult lighting, and there's a reasonably generous collection of ten scene modes to make easy work of tricky subjects like beach and snow scenes, fireworks, and the like. The Canon SD750 also sports a high-sensitivity ISO 1600 mode (new to the PowerShot line this year), for better performance in dim lighting.

Canon also manufactures an excellent line of photo printers, and prides themselves on the level of integration between their cameras and printers. The Canon SD750 is PictBridge capable, so is able to print to any printer that supports PictBridge directly, without the need for a computer in the middle. When connected to a Canon printer though, you can set paper size, print quality, and a number of other parameters, capabilities lacking in basic PictBridge connections. Bottom line, the Canon PowerShot SD750 would be a great choice for users looking for a compact, rugged, and stylish model for a " take-anywhere" digital camera, but don't want to roll their sleeves up and get into the nitty-gritty of shutter speeds, apertures, and the like.
