      The 3X/4X zoom kills the deal

      #1 and #2, isn't that zoom fairly typical for a camera of that form factor?

      I bought this camera two weeks ago. The big selling point is that this little camera can take video at 720p and it does it well, even in low light!
      Here is a sample clip (not mine) that was shot at night in the rain: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixter007/3623508882/?likes_hd=1

      If you want more samples google sd780 is videos.

      I've had my eye on this camera for awhile. I'm waiting for BF.
      The problem is I really want a black one, and if it's on a BF deal it will probably be the silver.
      I really don't care about the zoom because if you want a good picture at say 6x using a tiny camera like this you'll need a tripod.
