This camera is great for mom on the go!

This was a gift bought for me as a quick carry around camera, when bringing my big dSLR is not convenient. There is so much i love about this camera! The biggest plus for me is the quick switch from picture mode to video mode! I have a toddler who is always on the go so having one unit to take GREAT quality pictures AND video gets two big thumbs up from me. Especially if you just want short quick clips to upload online for out of state family so they never miss a milestone. i could never justify buying a seperate video recorder.

Here is a short list of...

I used to own a Canon Sure Shot 35mm camera and loved it, so when I decided to join the rest of the world and finally get a digital camera, I wanted to stick with Canon.  I am glad I did.  The camera itself is great, it's the operator that has problems with all of the features because I am technically challenged.  It probably would have helped if I had read the manual, but I didn't.  There are so many features to this camera that it is probably too advanced for my needs, but the price was right.  It takes super-clear, vibrant pictures.  I also love how you can record video with it too! ... review »

After having an ACCIDENT with my loyal Canon sd300 , I wanted to get the latest Canon and loved the "IS" addition to it....the Canon  SD1100is was IT.

Still small sized camera , light, sharper edges and the best part is the image stabilizing option...WOW! I was on a hay ride with the kids for Peach picking and filming a video . You don't notice any vibration in the video...like I said Simply perfect .

Plus after uploading pictures/video to computer...the picture are super clear and sharp colors. ....I simply love it .

 

The only con would be if anyone gets this cam ( or similar) and not buy the...

Granted, my wife and I are not expert photographers. We're not tracking lions in the Serengeti, or trying to re-create the works of Ansel Adams in color. But we do love good pictures, and if a picture is worth 1000 words, it might as well be a decent picture. But for us it doesn't necessarily need to be a great picture. 'Great' can be sacrificed somewhat when form-factor and price are concerns. Plus, no matter how incredible your camera is, if it needs a support staff to operate and carry it, then chances are it won't be with you when you want it. So when it came time to buy The Mrs. another camera... review »

I decided to buy a digital camera several  months ago.  I had no idea how complicated it was going to be.  I knew nothing about digital cameras.  I began to research digital cameras.  It took me months before I decided on the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS.  But I am so glad that I did decide to buy this camera.

 

I love it.  It takes beautiful pics.  

 

I found it complicated to use but it was my first digital camera.  Other people who are more familiar with digital cameras tell me that it is very easy to use.

 

It is a bit on the pricey side when compared to other digital cameras...

I've used a number of point and shoot digital cameras including Nikons and Sony Cybershots. I haven't been disappointed in any of these, but after my last Elph (an SD600), both my partner and I keep coming back for more. Most recently, I've been pleased to buy the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS.

I'm not much of a photographer, but these little guys make it easy to take amazing pictures at a very affordable price. One of my few complaints about the SD600, occasionally blurry photos, has been well remedied with the new image-stabilization ("IS) feature on this model.

The size is perfect (pocket-sized...

My Canon Power Shot - SD1100IS Digital Camera was given to me by my children as part of my Christmas gift this past year.  This camera is fairly easy to use, and as I am not a pro at operating any sort of camera/video equipment, which my children know, is why they chose this camera.

The instruction booklet that is included with this camera is easy to understand and with all of the pictures showing the parts of the camera and how they work, it is quite easy to follow and get whatever results you are trying to achieve when taking your pictures.

I especially like the 2.5 inch LCD monitor,...

I truly love this little camera.  It cost me under $150 at Target, and I've been very impressed.  I love the fact that it's so small, but has a nice size LCD display.  It takes great pictures, as well as quality video.  It seems to have a very good battery life, as well.  I'm not very good with cameras, but even I have gotten great pictures with it.  Consumer Reports rated it very well, which was one of my motivations in buying it.  Since purchasing the camera, I have to agree that it's well worth the money.  It's relatively quiet, and seems to be quite user friendly.  I can snap lots...

I was recently needing to purchase a compact digital camera and debated on many brands. I wanted something that would be consumer friendly and provide me good quality photographs on a budget. I came across the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph camera. This camera comes in 5 different colors, so you are able to choose the color that suits your personality, I chose the pink myself. This camera with it's 8 mega pixels and 3x optical and 4x digital zoom with many preset modes has been perfect. I am always taking pictures and the battery life seems to last longer than most batteries. It is so...

The Canon - Power Shot SD1100 IS Digital Camera is a great camera for the average person.  It is very easy to use.  It has a great auto focus.  There are many different settings that I like.  I use the auto setting the most, but the children and pets setting works great outside. There is an aquarium and a firework setting as well as a lot of the usual ones you would find on a digital camera.  One of the neat settings is the color accent.  You can choose a color in a shot and only that color will come out; the rest will be black and white.  There are only a few things I don't like about the...

I love the Cannon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Camera!! All of its various settings allow you to always get the perfect shot of whatever you are shooting. The size and shape of the camera is great for a mom with her hands full and fits perfectly in the side of the diaper bag or your pocket. It is also durable- twice I have had it knocked out of my hands at sporting events and it does not have a scratch on it.

I was very impressed with the video camera option - the PowerShot allows you to take small, medium or large movies so as to control the amount of space taken up on your memory card and how...

I started out with a sony digital camera with a huge Lens and lots of different settings.  It was good for taking simple pictures but couldn't capture the movement of every day life. After about 4 years of trying to get good pictures of my kids with it only to be disappointed  with the blurry picture I got due to the fact that little kids just can't sit still and they shouldn't have to.  I gave up and started my search for a new little camera that I could keep with me at all times.  I did a lot of research for a camera that would take pictures of a moving person a camera that would focus on...

I received my camera, the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS, for Christmas last year and I had a safari trip to South Africa scheduled.  I brought along this compact camera and never imagined the quality of pictures it would take.  The zoom was amazing and the details of my pictures could not have been better.  I honestly thought the camera would be 'just alright' because it is a compact camera without all the bells and whistles the more sophisticated cameras have.  Really this turned out to be the BEST camera!  I noticed other travelers with huge detachable zoom lenses but I can't image they performed...

The Canon Power Shot SD1100 IS is a convenient compact digital camera with a lot of useful options to offer the photographer who wants to capture a picture quickly, and still have a high quality resolution image.  Images are stored on a SD disc, which easily transfers to a computer, printer or in-store printing machine.  The image can be edited on the camera or computer for even better results.

The flash can be set to function automatically or as a creative tool.  Other options include a screw base for attaching a tripod, A/V output source for transfering imagines and an easy to use menu of...

This Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Camera is the most amazing camera I have ever used. I used to have the older version called A460 Canon Powershot but it was too thick and didnt take pictures as quickly as I wanted it to. I most frequently missed out on perfect shots and my images were either too blurry or didnt show picture at all. I am an on-the-go girl and I love my camera. This SD1100 camera is quite the catch and I believe that to this day, it will not wear out as my A460 camera did. It is ezpensive but it is worth it to get teh best picture possible. Canon is the only product I will... review »
