Very good

7.8

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 7.8 out of 10
Reviewed by Lori Grunin
Review date: 7/8/08
Release date: 3/17/08

The good: Great photo quality; interesting design.

The bad: Mixed performance; no optical zoom in movie mode.

The bottom line: For most people, the excellent photo quality of the Canon PowerShot SD790 IS will more than make up for any slight performance deficiencies or minor shortcomings.
