Since Canon announced its brand new PowerShots back in March, the SD790 IS has had a little spot in my heart. Today, it finally arrived. You can see the unboxing video above, but after playing with it, I can confidently say that this is a great camera. It’s very sleek, it’s got a great 3-inch screen, 10 megapixels, and a 3X optical zoom. The navigation scroll wheel is a little tricky to get used to and is a little slow on the responsive side, but seems like it should be easy to get used to after some use. The specs on the 790 bring the device to a new level. Not only does it include a color accent feature that lets you choose one color to be shown out of them all, but it has tons of scene modes as well. Also, it’s Image Stabilizer (the IS in SD790 IS) lessens the natural movements of your hands. Lastly, its DIGIC III Image Processor is the same chip included in the top of the line, thousand dollar cameras that Canon produces. Overall, the device is very sleek and produces great photos. It retails at $349.99, but you can find it for as low as $300 if you roam around the net.
