Canon PowerShot SD750

Connectivity / Extras
Picture Quality / Size Options (6.75)
Beneath the metal housing of the SD750 is a 1/2.5-inch CCD with 7.4 megapixels, 7.1 of which are effective. There are plenty of image sizes to suit any users’ needs: 3072 x 2304, 3072 x 1728 (16:9), 2592 x 1944, 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200, and 640 x 480 pixels. These can be found in the Func./Set menu along with the JPEG compression settings of SuperFine, Fine, and Normal. Some digital cameras have resizing options in the Playback mode that shrink pictures to make them easier to post to blogs and attach to e-mails, but the Canon PowerShot SD750 does not have that luxury.
Picture Effects Mode (8.5)
Canons are known for their picture effects modes, called My Colors. This PowerShot, like others released in the past year, offers the Color modes in the Recording and Playback modes. Vivid, Vivid Blue, Vivid Green, Vivid Red, Neutral, Sepia, Black & White, Positive Film, Lighter Skin Tone, and Darker Skin Tone can be set. In the Recording mode, there is also a Custom Color option grouped with the other options in the Func./Set menu. It allows users to adjust the contrast, saturation, sharpness, skin tones, and red, green, and blue channels on +/- 2 scales with whole steps.
Color Accent and Color Swap modes are listed among the exposure modes, but are basically color filters of sorts. They aren’t entirely useful, but are interesting to play with when the pictures don’t really matter. Users can select colors the same way they select the white balance, then swap them or accent them by making everything else in the frame that isn’t the selected color black and white. Even movies on the SD750 can benefit from the interesting color effects. Colors can be added, swapped, and accented – although only before recording and not in the Playback mode. Canon’s My Colors effects are a fixture on PowerShot digital cameras that sets them apart.
