Any camera with video mode should be good enough to make utube videos. Make sure to hold it steady when taking video.

“Jeff ==(##) o” is correct – but did not answer your question directly…
The Canon PowerShot SD750 does not capture high definition video. It captures very compressed video into AVI files. Check the specs

or download and read the manual

Generally speaking, consumer point & Shoot digital still cameras (DCSs) are designed to take good still pictures and do that well – but do not do a very good job with video. If you want good quality video, then a camcorder is a better path.
Since we don’t know what sort of YouTube videos you are planning, we don’t know if audio is important. A point & shoot DSC *might* provide good enough audio recording for you – we have no way to know.
Chances are very high that you will need to convert (transcode) the AVI files to WMV before MovieMaker can deal with the video files. There are lots of transcoders – I like MPEG Streamclip from Squared5.
