Canon PowerShot SD1100IS Review
I have been using a Powershot I2 IS for the last 3 years. Very good
camera with a fantastic 12X Zoom. However, I wanted a camera to carry
in my pocket. So many times I just didn't feel like dragging a large
camera with me to various parties or events. This camera fills the
bill. I carry it everywhere.
The pictures it produces are stunning. The 8MP 3X zoom produces a
picture that you can crop to the point that you get almost the same
picture as you would have with the 5MP 12X zoom lense (my opinion). The
movie feature is wonderful too, even better than the I2 IS.
The camera feels great in your hand with a solid, quality feeling.
If you have used Canon cameras before the menus are very intuitive. I
would not have purchased this camera (or any camera for that matter) if
it did not have the Image Stabilization feature. This is especially a
must as you get older.
By the way there is an advantage to the Brown color: If you have to
use the optical view finder outside, the camera itself produces minimum
glare for you eye to see more clearly through the small opening. The
color also makes the LCD playback pop. And as a bonus, it really gives
the camera a luxury look, you have to see it in person to appreciate
the color.
I recently took it to a monthly card party and everyone went wild
over it. So much so that one person sat right down at the computer and
ordered one! If you want a sub-compact, pocketable camera that takes
great pictures, I highly recommend the Canon SD1100IS.
