I am looking to purchase a Canon SD750 with the black lens that has NO physical damage. I have a lot of scratches on my camera and works great... it's just that I want it to look "newer". So if you are willing to sell it, let me know and we'll work something out. Thanks! :)

My boyfriend has the 1100, and I have the 750. Having it over a year now, I would say... go with the 1100. The picture quality and everything in relation to picture taking is practically the same; it's just the external features that set the two apart. Now, I don't know if my battery's getting old or whatever, but the huge screen does wear out the battery, I must admit. I charge it perfectly every time, yet... using it two hours later or something, the low battery will show up. Makes me angry and makes me want to upgrade, even. So, yeah, go smaller screen for 750.

I bought this camera for my daughter last Christmas. She dropped it inside her purse and cracked the back black screen after only two months. She was studying abroad at the time, so we could not send it in. The crack continued to get larger, but with no effect on the photos she took. While we could have chosen not to send it in, thought it would be best to see what Canon would do about it after only such a short time. $94 later, it looks nice, but sorry I sent it in.

i recently dropped my camera and the lens error appeared.. how do i fix the problem...

I can't decide between the SD750 and the Cannon 1100..the 1100 is a better price and has image stabilization, but I love the look and feel of the 750 as well as the way the pictures look..have you used the 1100 at all? What made you go for this camera a year after it was released once u dropped it the first time? did you not want to upgrade?

I contacted canon and you can send to their repair center. I slammed my camera on the floor and the screen went dead. Still took great pics, but unfortunately couldn't see what I was shooting since there is no viewfinder. To repair and shipping it was $110 so I opted not to because the Canon 1100 is now $140. I love my camera. Always took the best pictures. I bought the SX110 and had to return that. Way too professional. I haven't tested it out in the store but does anyone know if the 1100 is the same size as the 750?

I can't pre-order... Too little faith in canon cameras when they are released. I will probably get it down the road (feb-march) if their aren't any issues.Would upgrade from mkII.Would be nice if canon could release the 1d and 1ds as one camera, and just allow us to switch between high fps and high MP.But alas, I'll refrain.

Thanks, M. That certainly is very helpful information. I haven't made up my mind yet, although I'm leaning towards the SD750 for its compactness (looking for something to carry all the time, since I already have the A640 for 'picture occasions' or travel - really great for simple pns, particularly the rotating LCD, but somewhat bulky). I will have to check out the LCD to see if I can tolerate the grainy images though.

Hey there, I just had this same thing happen to my camera!!! The camera was not dropped or anything and it seemed to just appear out of the blue. One minute I am taking pictures and it looked fine, then I look down and the screen internally is cracked, the outside of the LCD does not have a scatch on it. I am about to send it off to Olympus to get a warrentyl repair, but could use any other instances of this happening as evidence that this is not my fault. Please let me know what you were able to get done. Thanks, Nick

The cnet video review was especially great - it shows a lot its features really well. I hope some more in-depth reviews come out soon. And I still haven't seen any reviews on the other cameras I'm considering, so I guess I have a long way to go. Of course, none of them are available to purchase yet. The frustrating part is every day I come across situations where I could use a camera like that! Oh well....

I just got mine in the mail today and tried a few small videos around the house and am having video quality issues as well. I would say I'm not even getting 480i quality. The image is incredibly speckly (non-static blotches moving around in the darks). Looks the same whether I play it on my HDTV or on my computer (plenty fast for HD video). What am I doing wrong? Tried wiping the lens with a lens cloth...no effect. Batteries weren't charged yet, but since it's digital, not sure that should make a difference.Also, as a side note, do the people who are getting good quality use the digital zoom at all, or does it degrade your resolution by half?

Have you received and tested out the M400? I'm also in the same boat--weighing the manual features of the S200 vs. the (possibly better?) video quality of the M400. I've scoured the net for initial reactions to the video performance of the HF M4 series and haven't found any as of yet. So, when you do test it out, please let us know your thoughts. Thanks!

I really appreciate your answer to my question and so quickly too. Thanks! That one negative review about lines in the LCD, increasing lines, is sort of what is holding me back, but wow, what an optical zoom which is the main attraction for me, as I suspect it is for all who purchase it, but I am still on the fence here. You never know how the unit will arrive to you which makes me reluctant to get a memory card until I see it is working probably, so thank you so much for the information. Much appreciated!

Yes I picked it up yesterday. Black only. Best Buy at Willowbrook in Houston. Went to BB site, searched for cam, and it gives list of local stores. Sunday there two store, Monday just one, but I have cam in hand. Haven't had chance to play with it yet, tonight is the night. Few quick obs, don't like that battery has to be charged in camera, so had to purchase charger, no case at all. At first glance I don't see a lot pof capability for aperture or shutter priority, but it may be in a menu screen somewhere. Will report back after trip this weekend.

hey Lisa. I just pre-ordered this camera, as the specs are too awesome to resist, and Amazon's return policy is stellar, so no worries. Then I found an actual user review of the camera, believe it or not, which says to me that it should be out soon. Here's the link, and drool to your heart's content: http://www.myfinepix.co.uk/showcase/review/finepix-hs20exr/hands-on-a-fuji-hs20Notice no purple fringing anywhere to be found, at least as far as I could tell, which is a VERY impressive feat for a camera with this kind of zoom. Also, the High Dynamic Range option seems stellar, as well as the Pro Focus Mode. Check out the review. It made me feel very good about my early purchase. Now I can't wait to get the camera! hey Lisa. I just pre-ordered this camera, as the specs are too awesome to resist, and Amazon's return policy is stellar, so no worries.

Myrna, Have you gotten your camera, yet? If so, what do you think of it? This would be my first digital camera, and what attracts me to this is that it has manual controls. I would be learning photography on it, so I figure I should have manual and auto controls. I am looking to get a Panasonic because a sales person at Best Buy raved about them and said they have the best lenses. To be honest, I know practically nothing about photography, but have had an interest in it for many years. Do you think this camera would be a good plact to start, at least digitally? Thanks, M

I was messing with the camera and want to amend my previous answer. I noticed a piece of film covering the back camera. I took it off and the pictures became so much better and clearer. I went outside and took a few pics and it looks like pics from those throw away cameras. I also noticed it does video to, in mp4. Very good quality, sound wasnt good though when recording video. Couldnt barely hear myself talking. Hope this helps.

Just broke mine today :( I had a 32GB microSD in the slot in my back pocket, and when I took it out, I could see that the card had snapped, with both halves loose in my pocket. I tried to put the remainder back in to salvage info, but 1) the computer didn't recognize it and 2) I can't get the fragment out of the drive now. User "Connor" has it right: it's pretty durable (been carrying it this way for about a year) but it can snap if you're not more careful than I was.

Bob, did you ever find out? I just ordered the camera and want to know the same thing! Thanks for any help.

Good question. I would like to know why it is still available. My understand is, it's out of production. Are these knock offs?... I have read all of the reviews about this model, the Black colored camera. I also would like to understand the difference between the Black USA model versus the Sliver Japanese model, there is only 2 reviews on the Silver colored camera. Can anyone give some input?

I too have been waiting over a month with no end in sight. I have missed most of the summer and am getting very annoyed with Amazon's system. I am now wordering if Nikon is coming out with a new model (D60) as they are doing with the D80? Since the summer is almost gone I will wait a little longer for the camera but will think very hard about purchasing expensive items from them in the future without a firm shipping date.

Did you get yours yet? I just ordered mine after much research. I don't plan to use the software that comes with it. Instead, I'm going to transfer pics to an SD card. If I'm happy with the frame, I'd like to get one for my parents for Christmas.
