Customer Reviews

Reviewed on 2008-07-07 Excellent, ultra compact, point & shoot camera! If you are looking for a user friendly, easy to carry, point & shoot right out of the box-with the option to learn the more advanced features later, this is the camera for you! It is small enough to carry in your pocket but has enough weight to prove it's quality, comes with a wrist strap to prevent dropping it, a memory card, battery with a charger, cables & software to get you hooked up to a computer & a photo printer, and manuals that give clear, precise instructions on how to quick start and then later delve deeper into the capabilities of this exceptional little wonder! Need more info? Read "solid ultra compact camera" by Garrett Lowenthal. No one could have covered it better-his review was by far the most helpful. I love it-don't know how I ever did without it!

Reviewed on 2008-07-07 Perfect Point-n-Shoot Camera! As they say, good things come in small packages! This is a performant, yet easy-to-use point and shoot camera. Takes sharp clear images on the fly, and has a couple of cool features like face detection technology, motion detection technology, and much more. I recommend it for hobbiests; Canon Rocks in the field of digital imaging!

Reviewed on 2008-07-06 Lots of features in a small package I did extensive research prior to selecting the PowerShot SD1100IS. My other choices were the new Nikon Coolpix and the Canon 850. My prior camera was a Pentax Optio S. While I own a Nikon SD80 it is large and less likely to be used than the smaller Canon. I wanted a viewfinder and optical image stabilization with face recognition. The new Canon has both. My complaints center around the grainy image on the display prior to taking a picture and the inability to quickly deactivate the flash for taking photos of a distant subject (like a graduation). Otherwise, the Canon packs a lot of features into a small package at a very reasonable price.

Reviewed on 2008-07-06 Cannon SD1100IS I was very impressed with the quality of the photos and the camera itself. Just what I was looking for...a compact point and shoot with the features I needed. I did purchase an additional battery but have not yet needed it during normal photos sessions. I also purchased a 2 GB memory card which allows many photos and video before it fills. Bottom line... great 8 MP camera.

Reviewed on 2008-07-06 Great for small items in close-up, too I bought the Canon SD1100 primarily to shoot images for online auctions and craft store listings. This meant small glass images shot at close range, indoors using natural light. I've been delighted with the Digital Macro setting, which rendered these hard-to-shoot images in very good quality (see samples in the Image Gallery). The image quality is clearer and crisper than those I've seen in other sellers' listings on those sites. I also don't have a steady hand: the image stabilization worked like a charm. It took me a bit to wade through all the icons and instructions in the manual, but I was shooting images I was very pleased with by the second day of use. As others have noted, the memory card Canon includes only holds a few shots -- I'd recommend buying a higher capacity card the same time as the camera. But other than that I'm very happy with the camera -- my first digital.
