Conclusion
The Canon PowerShot SD750 has a feature set similar to other digital cameras on the market except for its massive LCD screen – and it has increasing competition in this area, too. The 3-inch LCD is awesome because of its huge previews, readable menu fonts, and beautiful picture playback. The camera costs $349, which seems a bit much, but consumers generally have to fork over more dough for the bigger LCDs. The more budget-oriented camera is the SD1000, which has all the same Exposure modes and features but comes with a screen a half-inch smaller and is $50 less.

There is more to the camera than the LCD screen, of course. It takes great pictures, and this can’t be said of all compact digital cameras. The Canon SD750 had nearly perfect color production that held up even in very dim lighting. The image quality only suffered when the ISO was hiked up, which caused a notable amount of noise.  

The 7.1-megapixel SD750 has a great compact body, a huge LCD, and a feature set that is included on lots of other digital cameras. I wouldn’t pay $349 for it, but it’s a great little digital camera.
