Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot SD1100IS 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue)
Digital camera Review: Better than I thought!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a loyal Fujifilm camera owner for as long as I can remember. I have always loved their cameras and the ease of use. When searching for a new camera this spring, my friend insisted I branch out to a new brand. As difficult as it was (I hate change!) I purchased this camera. I LOVE IT!!! For the same price range, this camera trumps the other camera I was looking at. Tons more features! At first these features intimidated me, but Canon makes it easy! The menus use lots of pictures and simple words. So the photographer dummy I am doesnt get confused. I want to point...and shoot...then print. I am not taking fancy pictures or looking to make poster prints. I have 4 kids, and just want to capture the moments. This camera is great! But even if you ARE an expert, this camera has enough features to keep you satisfied.
The BEST feature is how QUICKLY it turns out! Almost instant! Within a blink of an eye the camera is on and ready to take pics. Just as quick between pics too!! My old camera must have had a 5 second delay at least!
And the zoom!!! The zoom is amazing! Crystal Clear pictures at full zoom...no joke!!! My old camera got grainy once I hit the digital zoom level. It looks blurry on screen, but once you load it to your computer you see that its crystal clear sharp and crisp! As if you were right next to the object. I couldnt believe it!!
The camera is very small too! Fits in my back jeans pocket so i can carry it everywhere! Its less bulky than my cell phone! Weighs about the same as my cell phone too, even with the battery in.
Great camera! I am glad my friend talked me into this one! Amazon offered the best price around (By $30!) so I got a great deal. I am very pleased!
The next test is to see if it will stand the test of time. My FujiFilm cameras all lasted a long time and took a beating! (One still works and is now my daughters camera) I hope Canon is just as sturdy. Like I said, with 4 kids... things get dropped! :(
Highly recommended camera! No surprise why Canons are rated the #1 consumer camera around!
Digital camera Review: Better than expected
Summary: 5 Stars
Although less than half the [physical] size of my previous camera this Canon PowerShot performs at a higher level with more far more ease. To date, this appears to be one of my best purchases of the year.Digital camera Review: Big Little Camera does its job well.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my 4th digital camera. I previously had a Canon with 5MP which was great but too large and not enough resolution. Next I had a Kodak Photosmart which was smaller and a good camera, except that once banged or dropped, the LCD is kaput and the camera is useless. $60 to repair on eBay, so I then purchased a Panasonic Lumix. This was my least favorite camera for taking pictures. There was no viewfinder and once the sun glare was so strong that I could take no photos because I couldn't see what I was looking at. Also, the shutter lag was too slow to catch children in a good pose. Did my research and learned good things about the Canon PowerShot SD1100IS and went for it. This camera is GREAT! It has face detection and image stabilization. With these features, my child photos are terrific. And their faces are not all whited out as in other cameras. I am very satisfied and this may be my last camera as I have no complaints at all.Digital camera Review: Big camera in a small package
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the third PowerShot I have owned. They get better and better. Easy point and shoot with great results. I will compare my photo quality with almost any other. We do a lot of traveling in the U.S. and Europe and the convenience of its size and weight is fantastic. I laugh when I see others carrying larger cameras when my small camera does the job so well. The versatility is beyond my skill level, although I keep trying new features. If you are going to own only one camera, this might be the one. My only wish so far is that there was a battery charge status indicator. I will reserve a 5 star rating until I see that feature.Digital camera Review: Big things in a little package
Summary: 5 Stars
My sister was the one that did a lot of research on point and shoot cameras. After much research they decided to purchase this camera. I waited until they received it to purchase mine. I am very pleased with this camera.
My husband and I also have a Canon S3, but I wanted something more portable and less bulky for family gatherings and less intense picture taking. The SD1100 offers everything the S3 does, but in a much smaller package.
The face finder feature is great, plus you can crop pictures directly from the camera. You can also change the setting to shoot in black and white or antique brown. Not necessary, but definitely fun to play with!
I haven't honestly found any cons with this camera. Maybe because I'm used to using a Canon. The one thing I didn't want on a point and shoot was the time delay from taking the picture to the time it displayed. This camera is pretty fast with that. Almost instant. So no complaints there! Definitely get what you pay for. I do believe they have come out with another newer model, but I've heard that model isn't as good. I wouldn't hesitate to spend $200 on this camera if I had to!!!
