5 out of 5 stars Great camera!   September 29, 2008
I am so happy that I purchased this camera. It takes perfect pictures every time. I would highly recommend the Canon PowerShot SD1100IS for anyone who is in the market for a digital camera that is very easy to use, has a sleek, compact design, and takes excellent still pictures and video. I took the advice of other reviewers and I bought an extra battery for uninterrupted photo taking sessions and a 4GB memory card which ensures that I do not run out of memory while video taping.


4 out of 5 stars Good for what I want   September 28, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I received this camera a few weeks ago and have been satisfied with it.What I wanted to do with the camera was simple.Take varies pictures and keep them on the computer.I also take a few short videos.For that the camera is perfect.
It fell from the bed once,which is about a two feet drop and I was glad to see it didn't break apart or make the camera malfunction in any way.
The only thing I'm disappointed by is the fact that when the subject stands four feet or more away from the camera it's very blurry.And forget about taking a full body shot.All you'll get is basically a blur.It does work with small children.My niece is three and I can get a pretty good full body shot of her.
Over all I'll give it four stars.



5 out of 5 stars Overall excellent camera   September 28, 2008
Overall this is an excellent camera. I upgraded from a Nikon coolpix 5600 which was not a bad camera except for the painstaking long shot to shot time. This one has a much faster shot to shot time compared to the Nikon which makes a word of difference in taking pictures of kids. The in camera red eye fix works great and leanring how to navigate all the functions did not take long at all. My previous camcera used AA batteries, which is one feature I liked so if I as travelling and ran out of batteries I could quickly buy a new pair of AAs. This one has a rechargable one and AFter having the camcera for a while I have yet to need to recharge it. However, I did purchase a very inexpensive generic backup battery which I also keep witht he camera just in case. I am very happy with this camcer and if you looking for a compact very functional camera that takes great pictures I don't think you can go wrong at all and highly recomend this camera. Also the price on Amazon.com was the best one I could find anywhere. The local stores had it on sale and Amazon.com was still ~$25.00+ less expensive. Shipping was very fast even with the free super saver shipping (got it in few days from time of order).


4 out of 5 stars Happy and Satisifed. It's a Good On-The-Go Camera   September 26, 2008

I'm an avid Canon fan and recently purchased this camera (in blue) for it's compact size. I own a 40D which isn't so practical to carry around for everyday use, especially with my battery grip on it! I previously owned (a now ancient) S40 "compact" camera - which in comparison is not-so-compact. The SD1100is is amazingly small and light in weight. It features a viewer which I think will come in handy (and has) in bright light situations where the screen does little or no good. The 2.5" screen is plenty big, although noticeable smaller than the 3" on some of the other models. I think the viewer is worth the small trade off. IS is also an invaluable feature especially with low light situations or non-flash moments.

The main issue I have heard of with this series is with potential lens harm if the camera turns on accidentally while in it's case. It's pretty hard to do since Canon has now made this on/off button flush with the body. But, my best advice to avoid this situation is to make sure the camera is in play mode (vs. camera mode) when you put it back in the case. This will prevent the lens from zooming out upon turning on. I'm not really worried - this has not happened to me yet (well, in the month that I've been carrying it around . . . EVERYWHERE!)

Navigation is easy to pick up on this one - quite different from my older S40, but easy enough to figure out even without reading the manual. I do suggest buying a spare battery to have on you just in case, especially if you plan on using the video mode (which is really good) since it sucks life quickly from the battery. I also bought a 8GB HCSD card and reader to go with it to make room for quick videos of my kid :-) and pictures, of course.

Other than that, it performs like I expected. The flash is not the strongest, but then, it's a pocket camera. If you're looking for more strength from a flash, you'll need to go with external flashing - on a different camera as this one doesn't have that option. Knowing it's limitations, it does the job for the everyday moments when you "wish you had a camera."



4 out of 5 stars So far, So good.   September 25, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Usually I do not take the time, but I felt obliged to write a review for this camera. That's because it took me so long to decide which one to buy. I am a point and shoot type of person with a side of "wanna-a-be" photographer. So, I wanted a camera with perks but easy to use. So far I really like this camera. My old one was a Nikon cool pix.I liked it well enough, though it was a gift so not personally choosen. Anyway, I dropped that one in the river. I really wanted a canon but was concerned about the lense errors I had read about. I think it's just something you have to stay conscience of. I bought a case and I haven't had any problems. As far as picture quality, it's pretty sweet. I love the macro mode for close ups of bees and flowers and hummingbirds. However, it works great for regular pictures too. You can set it to where it makes chirping noises or barking when you shoot which is funny for kids. Also the video is really good. It only had 3x optical zoom which is another reason why I hesitated. But, I haven't found I miss it for how compact the camera is. Even with the case it fits in my purse good. I would advise you use the wrist strap always b/c it is small and could slip out of your hands and then you would probably bump the lense and get the lense error. I got the blue one and I love the color - makes it easy to know it's mine cause most people have silver. Oh yeah, I really like the different settings. It has a sunset, beach, foilage, snow, action, black and white, sepia tone, etc. I use the sunset setting every night to take a different picture of my lake sunset and it's beautiful. I've found the battery life is fine, especially if you use the view finder instead of the screen. The Nikon I had before came with a dock and tons of cords to charge it. This one has a battery-only dock the gets plugged directly in the electrical socket. Way better for everday use and trips. I've only had to charge it once so far and it's been over a month. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it. Especially because it was at a competitor for $50 more.***I almost forgot: in order to view your pictures on the camera the switch must be set to view mode. If you are concerned about the camera turning on in your purse, turn it to this mode and then push the power button off. Then, if it gets turned on accidentally, the lense will not come out b/c it is in view mode! (:
