 Great camera April 1, 2008

For a digital camera novice who has used the same one for the last 5 years, this is a great design in terms of portability and lightweight. I wish the buttons were easier to interpret and that there were a simple mode to take basic pictures. I have found that the face detection aspect of it does slow down the picture taking. This is especially hard to overcome when trying to take pictures of small chilren who do not hold poses. The quality is excellent though.

I bought the camera just 3 days before leaving for Spain. The directions were adequate and the camera is really easy to use. I not only shot photos on automatic but used the night and color options, as well as did a few movies. The software was essential because I prefer more contrast to my photos and the software allowed me to customize the images as I liked.
It was not clear to me on Amazon that the camera came with a recharger (it did) so I purchased a recharger. Turned out that was smart because it came with a European electrical outlet adapter that I used in Spain. I also purchased a 4G memory card. I took 535 photos and 5 movies, and there seems to be more room.
For it's size (I carried the camera in my front pants pocket) it takes amazing pictures. I definitely recommend the camera.
 I was EXTREMELY disappointed at best July 2, 2008

I was torn between buying this Canon powershot SD1100IS or a Nikon Coolpix S550. After looking at reviews on several sites I went with the Canon because it had really good reviews and the Nikon did not.
I got home with the Canon and knew the first 5 minutes that I HATED it! I couldn't get a decent picture. Everything looked grainy or blurry and my children's skin tone kept coming up extremely orange and unnatural. I was pretty upset. But I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt, I read the owners manual and played around with the setting for about an hour and a half. After all that 99% of the pictures I took were still awful! And the other 1% were just so so.
I was EXTREMELY disappointed by this camera. You shouldn't have to try so hard to get even one somewhat decent picture. I took the camera back after 2 hours and got a refund and bought the Nikon I had wanted. The Nikon takes 1000x's better pictures and I wish I'd just gone with it in the first place!
just ok April 27, 2008

With all of the glowing reviews for this camera, I expected more from it. It is a great looking camera, and the menu's are easily accessible. What surprised me was how bad the picture looks in the view finder. In indoor conditions, the viewfinder shows a fuzzy, grainy picture. I thought the camera must be defective and got a second one, but it is the same. The actual pictures look clear, but I am very annoyed with the viewfinder. I haven't used the camera for that long, but it seems that I have to do a lot of red-eye editing later (even with the red eye reduction turned on). My last camera, the Canon S30, did a much better job in eliminating red-eye from all but the lightest eyed people. There is a continuous shooting mode, which allows you to set a 1 or 2 second delay before the camera takes another picture. I found that even with the shortest delay (1 second) that the camera took too long to take another shot (again, indoor conditions with flash). It's fine for a compact and cute camera, but I really expected more.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this Canon camera. Yes, the quality of the photo is excellent and it has many features, however, I did not read one single review which commented on the problem that the date and time is not imprinted on the photo when reviewing the photo but can be imprinted when printing out the photo if selected.
What good is a photo when the date and time is not on the photo. Nikon and Casio camera imprint the date and time on the photos taken. The user has the option of turning off the imprint should it be necessary.
I work as a residential property manager and frequently photograph rental units after the tenants have moved out in order to prepare the refunds of deposits. I have a nice Nikon 5.1 MP but the shutter time is extremely slow. I end up having to wait 5 seconds before being able to shoot the next photo. You can imagine how frustrating it is to spend time waiting in between shots.
The problem of not having the date and time imprint when I download the photos on my notebook makes my work very difficult. I only print out photos when necessary, therefore, if I move the original photo from the memory card to my notebook computer, I can not print the photo with the date imprinted. The date can be imprinted by connecting the camera to the printer and selecting this feature.
Do not purchase this camera if you need the date and time imprinted on the photo without having to print. Get a Casio Exilim because the quality is just as good and the menu is user friendly unlike Canon's.
Canon needs to go back the drawing board and add this important feature.
