 So far, So good. September 25, 2008

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! (:

Very nice camera, good quality from Canon. Only thing I don't like is the short life of battery which need to recharge daily on the trip. You should have 2-3 spare batteries on hand.
 Excellent Camera - enough said! July 30, 2008

I have used a lot of canon's in my life.... I wont go into detail..
We have a 40d, a G9, and this small wonder (replaced a sd500). We recently took this camera to Disney World - and the pictures have all turned out beautifully.
There are complaints of red-eye, this that and the other..... But consider what you are buying and then buy this camera. It is a sub-compact 8mp camera which does exactly what it should with ease and clarity.
We had no red-eye issues, we had no battery problems...nada.
The battery was charged once and lasted for about 350 shots in outdoor light...with some flash for fill-in. The 350 shots included about 30-40 night shots....again perfect...no red-eye.
We saw a show that we wanted to video - well our camcorder battery was dead and thus having the free space on a 4gb sd card we went ahead and recorded the video on this puppy. Well much to my amazement, the video is clear and we are satisfied.
Do yourself a favor and buy the Canon leather case (sold on amazon) as an accessory. It makes carrying this around easier and protects the entire body.
This camera was worth its weight in gold...
 Decent camera, but nothing to get too excited about November 7, 2008

I think this camera would be a great choice for someone who is looking for a cost effective digital P&S and will be only taking photos of posing adults. The features it offered were pretty neat, I really liked the option that focused on one color and made the rest of the photo black and white. Very neat. Now for the bad, my unit was slightly defective (I assume), all of the photos were slightly out of focus, resulting in fuzzy images. But most of the reviews of this camera rave about the picture, quality, so I assume that my camera was defective and an anomaly. The other issue this camera had was the delay between telling the camera to take a picture (i.e. pressing the button) and the camera actually taking the photo (i.e. the image is captured). The camera had about a 1/2 second delay between the two events. This sort of delay is completely acceptable if you are taking photos of adults who know to hold their pose. But if you are taking photos of 2-year olds, forget it. All you get are the backs of little heads. I guess it is possible that the delay in my camera was a result of the auto-focus defect. But then I went to Circuit City to compare my camera to theirs (to make sure it was defective), I noticed that the Sonys were far faster than the Canons. The DSC-W150, DSC-W170, DSC-T70, and the DSC-T77 all were noticeably faster than the Canons. All of these cameras though are more expensive than the Canon SD1100, some much more so, and they also require special Sony proprietary memory, which costs extra as well. But I must say, if you are taking photos of young children, I highly recommend that you try one of the Sonys. They are the by far the fastest cameras out there.
Better than I thought! May 8, 2008

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!
