Canon seems to be experimenting with the design of its snapshot cameras, and this is the most radical change yet. The new incised buttons certainly give the SD790 IS a novel look, but they take a little getting used to; they don't have a lot of travel and need to provide a little more tactile feedback. The control dial has a better feel than that of the SD890 IS, though it still flies a bit too freely and doesn't provide hard stops at each of the options. Nevertheless, the new controls fall just over the "I like them" side of the fence.
