About the Canon PowerShot SD790 IS (Digital IXUS 90 IS)
The Canon PowerShot SD790 IS, also called the Digital IXUS 90 IS, was released in March 2008 with a 3-inch rear screen. Its 1/2.3-type CCD delivers about 10 effective megapixels, and the lens is a 35-105 mm equivalent 3x optical zoom at F2.8-4.9.
The body is 92 x 57 x 21 mm and weighs about 195 g, a little more substantial to hold because of the larger screen. Power is supplied by the NB-5L lithium-ion battery, and images go to SD or SDHC cards. The big screen makes reviewing shots and navigating menus easier during everyday snapshots. The lens starts at 35 mm and offers F2.8 at the wide end, which suits indoor scenes, while the 105 mm telephoto end handles portraits at a comfortable distance. The 10-megapixel sensor gives plenty of detail for everyday viewing and printing.
Buying one used
The dedicated NB-5L battery should be tested for runtime, and a charger should be included. Check SD/SDHC card recognition, lens operation, and the condition of the 3-inch screen before buying.
