Most Critical Review

Canon Sacrificed Quality for Size

Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Black 12.1 MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera
Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Black 12.1 MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera

Pros: For pictures without people in them, and adequate natural lighting - picture quality is superb. Small size makes it very easy to transport

Cons: The majority of pictures taken of people have them coming out looking like cartoon characters, the colors are all wrong. The automatic feature seems to constantly choose the incorrect setting. Many times you must switch to program mode and force flash, because the camera prefers to select a ridiculously high ISO setting before activating flash. The camera will randomly toggle between Macro and Normal. Videos are saved as QuickTime files which are fairly useless, especially for editing.

Overall Review: This id my third Canon camera, I LOVE canon and recommend them to everyone looking for a camera, I would NOT recommend this camera. They sacrificed functionality and quality for size. Trust me This model is not worth the hassle. I wish I had never bought it and stayed with my previous model. Im going to search sites to track down their discontinued Powershot SD870 IS which was and still is an amazing camera

Purchased a Dozen - Excellent

Transcend 8GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model TS8GSDHC6

Pros: Reliable. I have purchased a dozen of these for my multiple cameras and those of my family. Ive been using them for years and never had any problems. They are cheap (price NOT quality), fast and reliable.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Format the card in camera before first use - not required just recommended

Big, cool, quiet, cheap - Do It!

Western Digital Elements 1.5TB Desktop External Hard Drive
Western Digital Elements 1.5TB Desktop External Hard Drive

Pros: Cheap. Extremely quiet - I literally put my ear to it while transferring huge files and heard nothing. Fast - People have complained but I have had no problem with speed, very quick.

Cons: No on/off switch. It turns off with computer and can be 'safely removed' from within computer but id prefer an on/off switch.

Overall Review: No fan. Though it doesnt seem to get hot. I transferred 700GB and it was barely even warm.

Purchased and burned 1000's

Cons: None

Overall Review: Buy It!
