SD750 VS. SD1000: Does this come in a factory sealed box with the cannon brand battery and charger?

Neither the SD750 nor the SD1000 are designed to survive falls of 3-5 feet or more. They may survive but will be worse for wear and show the dings of falling. For that toughness feature, you have to purchase and Olympus Stylus 790SW, 770SW, or a Pentax Optio W30, which are significantly more expensive (for the toughness, not the photo quality). Since your aesthetic sense aims you at the SD750, buy the camera you love to look at, the SD750 and the SD1000 have about the same features. Two cameras worth considering (if you can afford an extra $50-$100) are the Canon SD850 and SD870. In addition to the face recognition feature of 750/1000, the 850/870 also have a feature termed "Optical Image Stabilization." (Avoid cameras with "digital image stabilization" if you want to consider this feature). The "optical image stablization" feature reduces the blur that occurs during the hand holding of the camera. It will save about 10-20% of your picture taking shots. The trade off is the 850/870 cameras are slightly bigger than the SD750. So choose based on aesthetics, size and cost. Picture quality will be about the same (with the 850/870 winning out because of the optical image stabilization feature). Toughness is not an appicable criterion. Regardless, go the your local camera shop or superstore to try them out and then buy your camera from Amazon or best price available.

It does not come sealed. Everything is new, this is just how Canon does it. Go to Best Buy to check it out - they have lots of Canon boxes and none are sealed. Comes with camera, battery, cords to transfer pics. VERY small memory card (order a transcend 8gb with a reader - good deal). Includes manuals and AV cord.

The camera I received was brand new, in original Sony packaging, came with all manual and warranty card. I read one reviewer stating they didn't receive original Sony box, that was worrying for me. But I did receive Sony camera box, same box that's sold in any retail store. The other genuine Sony items were the SDXC card and the Camera pouch, both brand new in retail packaging.

Yes, it comes with a battery and a charger. Canon makes good batteries. Do not buy a generic to get an extra. Spend the $25 more to buy a Canon if you need an extra. However, the one that comes with it should do you fine. It can take several hundred (sometimes 500+) pictures even with the flash before you need to recharge. Recharge takes about 45 minutes once you plug into the wall. A little light turns from red to green once charged.

I have the SD700 and I am looking to upgrade to the 850 or something similar. Both seem to have the same battery indicator issue. It would be really nice for them to include an indicator but, alas, no. So what I do with the 700 is 1) have a second battery. I rarely need it but it is good to have on vacations and other high use periods. 2) The battery will last for WEEKS when I am not using it to often, so when its convenient I throw it in the charger. It usually takes less than an hour to come to a full charge. Good luck!

The camera I bought had a battery and charger but no memory card. I think I bought from BigBobsElectronics or something like that. But my Nikon COOLPIX came and it looked like it was brand new! It worked perfect and the battery lasts forever! I love it.

no SD card included (none of them do), no case, battery capacity is 250 photo's. Charger comes with it that plugs into the camera which I think is a pain. I advise getting an additional battery and an external plug in charger.

As far as i can tell the one that was delivered to me is a real cannon product. It came in a cannon box and has what appear to be gold plated connectors in the battery magazines. A feature you probably would'nt see in a knock off. I understand you're concern i thought the same thing. I'm very happy with mine. One problem i did find is there is an on/off switch that if left on will run the batteries down even when the camera is shut off. the camera will operate normally while this switch is left off. So i don't know what the switch does.Hope this helps you.

My camera came in its original packaging. After reading the responses from others, I'm inclined to believe that some sellers buy close out products that are in their original packaging and sell them at a reduced price. Other sellers appear to buy refurbished products that are not in the original boxes. The company I purchased my camera from no longer carries it. I think we will all have to pay closer attention to product information when we make a purchase. I would have been upset, too, if what I received was not what I expected.

Hi,I had purchased this camera about two months ago from the same source. Yes, a Canon battery and charger are included in the package. I also purchased a second battery from another source and I'm glad I did. Videos, flash photography, and multiple shot mode all eat into battery time.

Thanks for the rundown and for the tip. SterlingTek SterlingTek's POWWER brand Canon Powershot SD790 NB-5L battery 1400mAH would be the way to go, but I'm penny-pinching, and 14. + 8. (shipping) for the SterlingTek is 12. more than the Lenmar, so I think I'll have to spin the wheel and hope I receive a non-dud from them. SterlingTek make a sweet little car charger for that battery also (15. + 8.) that would be very handy, but now we're talking fantasy purchases. I shouldn't be shopping, I should be digging myself out of debt.

I received my lens, which was not shipped for 12 days after my credit card was charged, and while the packaging was marked "Canon", it looked more like a package that a refurbished one might come in. However, nowhere did it indicate that it was refurbished, but I suspect that it might have been.

Look on Amazon's website under "Panasonic Lumix ZS25", scroll down the page and it shows the appropriate battery as being Wasabi DMW BCG10, which is not the same as this one, but made by the same company and with approximately the same price.Edited: Oh! I'm so sorry. I just looked further down the list of cameras and it does indeed seem to be the same exact battery pack for the SZ1 and the ZS25! Please look for yourself though to be certain. (Panasonic should not have put out one grouping of cameras labeled SZ and another group labeled ZS. Too confusing.) Just click on the battery pack shown for your camera and it will list all the cameras it fits.

Yes, the one I received was marked Canon and came in a Canon Box. I did not find anything to question about it,

The one I received was an actual Canon battery. I tried it out already with charging and using it and it is fine. I am happy.
