The batteries for the Canon SD-770 and SD-780 look exactly the same and have identical dimensions. And the specs of the two batteries are almost replicates–almost. There’s a seemingly insignificant discrepancy in the numbering that makes all of the difference in the world when it comes to charging the batteries of the respective cameras. I missed being able to take once-in-a-lifetime shots of my granddaughter at the July 4 parade because the battery on my 780 went dead and I simply couldn’t locate the charger amid the plethora of accumulated chargers, adapters, transformers, etc. I borrowed my wife’s charger for her SD-770–and was surprised to discover that it wouldn’t charge my SD-780.
Bottom line: This charger is indeed a relatively inexpensive alternative to the pricey OEM charger from Canon for the Elf model listed as the SD-780. Be sure to label it quickly, because it’s quite possible it won’t charge any other Canon camera batteries. I’m withholding a star simply because I’ve used it only once, and some generics have been known to bite the bullet in a hurry. It has a red light, which turns to green when the battery is ready to go. There are generics on Amazon at a fraction of the price of this one. Personally, I wouldn’t risk it.
