The 5.3-ounce SD750 is an ultracompact<a href="http://tootechie.com/tags/cameras-printers/high-end-digital-cameras/"> digital camera </a>with 3.6&#215;2.2&#215;0.8 inch body, 3x zoom lens covers a fairly average range from 35-105mm equivalent, a moderate wide-angle to a moderate telephoto.</p>
<p><strong>The Canon PowerShot SD750</strong> is the most popular in the market this days due to its relatively fast speed and <strong>above-average movie quality</strong> as well as SD750&#8217;s large <a href="http://tootechie.com/tags/hi-fi-tvs/lcd-plasma-tvs/">LCD </a>display. The SD750 comes in two themes- silver and silver with black accents. It offers a host of color enhancements and scene modes, exposure compensation, and a choice of three metering modes. The Canon SD750 is also featured with <strong>the touch dial contro</strong>l, a <strong>face-detection AF mode</strong> technology, AiAF automatic focus-point selector and center focus. The LCD appears bright and easy to see, even in direct sunlight, exposure is fully automatic but the user can bias it up or down with<strong> 2.0 EV </strong>of exposure compensation in 1/3 EV steps to handle difficult lighting. Inspite of lacking<strong> the image stabilization</strong> the Canon PowerShot SD750 has a more elegant, cutting-edge design, large LCD and&#8211;to my eyes, at least&#8211;better photo quality.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://tootechie.com/tech/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/ff.JPG" title="ff.JPG"><img src="http://tootechie.com/tech/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/ff.JPG" alt="ff.JPG" align="left" /></a>The <a href="http://tootechie.com/?s=fujifilm">Fuji film</a> new 8 megapixel <strong>Fine Pix S5800</strong>, is full professional photographer camera who wants a compact, lightweight camera the versatility of SLR-like operation and huge <strong>10x optical zoom</strong>. The camera features unique Fujifilm technologies such as Intelligent Flash, <strong>Fujinon optics</strong>, movie recording with sound, <strong>ISO 1600 light sensitivity</strong> and <strong>anti-blur technology</strong>, for pin-sharp shots even when shooting moving subjects.  It’s also perfect for holiday-makers, especially backpackers with the limited space they have for kit, who will benefit from its tiny, lightweight but robust proportions and the huge zoom range, from wide-angle to telephoto.</p>
<p>The<strong> camera’s</strong> fixed <a href="http://tootechie.com/?s=lens">lens</a> housing also ensures super-fast start-up time of just 1.1 seconds, ensuring even unexpected action can be captured easily and quickly. Not only is the lens capable of picking out detail in the distance with its 10x optical zoom, it also features a Super Macro mode. With this mode selected the <strong>FinePix S5800 </strong>is able to focus on objects down to just 1cm so that everything from close-ups of flora and fauna to wide, sweeping landscapes are within its reach.</p>
<p><strong>Main Features</strong>:</p>
<p>* ISO 1600 light sensitivity for flash-free shooting, even in low light, which means photos will look much more natural with balanced background and foreground exposure. On-board flash can sometimes leave the foreground looking over-exposed, whilst losing the background altogether thanks to the limited range and the harsh effect of direct flash<br />
* Unique Fujifilm lighting systems such as Intelligent Flash, which assesses the scene and sets power output accordingly, and Natural Light plus Flash, which takes one shot with, and one without flash and pops both up side-by-side for easy comparison (for those times when you do want to shed a little more light on your photo)<br />
* Continuous shooting, which keeps shooting until the shutter button is released, then retains either the first or final three frames, for action sequence photography<br />
* Dual compatibility for xD-Picture Card™ and Secure Digital memory card formats<br />
* Integrated lens so users never have to invest in more lenses or worry about dust on the sensor (a common problem with SLR cameras and detachable lenses). Plus a huge 10x zoom range, with 1cm Super Macro shooting capability, so that everything from close-ups of loved ones to landscapes of honeymoon beaches is in range, and pin-sharp thanks to the unrivalled quality of Fujinon, Fujifilm’s renowned lens division, optics<br />
* Fujifilm’s unique Anti-blur technology, which assesses the scene and optimises the ISO sensitivity setting so that the camera can use a fast shutter speed, even in limited light, freezing even fast-moving action without blur<br />
* Movie recording, with sound, for those times when a still image isn’t enough. Electronic Image Stabilisation ensures handheld movies do not suffer from blur caused by camera shake<br />
* Bright 2.5-inch, 230,000-pixel screen with 60fps refresh rate and Wide View filter for easy framing, reviewing and sharing of images, even in bright sunlight<br />
* 12 scene position modes<br />
* Powered by 4 AA batteries<br />
* 26MB internal memory</p>
