The book of instructions that came with the camera really doesn't tell me much, and I have no idea what to do with some of the settings. I still haven't figured out how to set the date and time.Digital camera Review: Canon PowerShot A1100IS

Seems like an excellent product. Don't know why more cameras don't have a viewfinder in addition to the screen, which is almost useless in sunlight.Digital camera Review: Canon PowerShot A1100IS

This is a very nice camera, easy to operate, and the photo quality is very, very good. I purchased this camera because it uses AA batteries, which can easily be replaced.Digital camera Review: Canon PowerShot A1100IS

This camera is just so-so.
I have loved Canon cameras in the past, and Canon was my first choice when I was buying a camera for "Momming around" -- just quick snaps of the kids at their activities.
The recharge time on the flash is well over 1 second. This is frustrating and aggravating for me, as the picture taker, and for the kids.
I like that the camera runs on AA batteries, but a four-battery model (this camera uses only 2) would cycle more quickly and be more useful for me.
I've had this for 10 months, taken about 10,000 photos on it, and found only about 1,000 worth keeping. The best features are the "pulse" feature (which I use for taking group photos), the timer feature (you can take multiple shots on one shutter click -- very helpful), and the auto settings.
The landscape setting is virtually worthless -- AUTO always takes a better photo. The macro setting is not as good as the AUTO setting, either. The face-finder feature is aggravating. If your kids are in costumes -- or even HATS! -- or only half-facing you, the camera pauses and pauses and pauses, trying to find a face. I operate with face-finder OFF.
There is no way to set the flash to ON in AUTO mode, so in twilight situations or indoors, half the time the AUTO flash does not flash.
I would not buy this camera again -- my next camera will definitely be a four-battery model. Still willing to do business with Canon, though.

Good Camera for the money. Pictures OK, a little on the flat side, could be a little more vivid, more contrast. Dose pretty good with kids (fewer blurred shots). Battery life seems a little short (Uses cheap AA Rechargeable though). Fits in your pocket!
