What should I check when buying a used SD780 IS?

Check the NB-4L battery's charge-holding (aged packs are normal; replacements are cheap), the lens cover and zoom action, the rear control wheel's responsiveness, and shoot test frames with flash to verify the capacitor fires. Color units carry collector premiums. Shopfox seller ratings and returns protect the purchase.

Is the Canon SD780 IS still good for photos?

For the digicam look, absolutely. The SD780 IS produces the warm, soft, flash-tinged photos that define the Y2K aesthetic — the look phone apps imitate — in a body that genuinely vanishes in a pocket. Speed and low light are 2009-tier. Buy it as a creative second camera from a well-rated Shopfox seller.

How much is a Canon SD780 IS worth?

The SD780 IS currently trades around $175-$313, with clean working units near the bottom and collector-grade boxed examples at the top — a striking hold for a 2009 point-and-shoot. For shooting rather than collecting, the low end is rational. Check SD780 IS price history on Shopfox before paying.
