Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS 8 Megapixel Compact Camera - Bohemian Brown

OUTSTANDING P&S Pocket Camera

Strengths: Extremely light and compact, simple controls, good battery life, excellent quality pix.

Weakness: No optical viewfinder, but that's a tradeoff for compactness. Video quality was OK, but not outstanding.

I bought the SD100 specifically for a family reunion trip to Colorado. I wanted a shirt-pocket P&S camera that would be with me at all times and was willing to trade off pix quality for convenience. I was pleasantly surprised to get the compactness I wanted without the quality tradeoff I expected. Photo quality was excellent, especially for such a small device. Pix of family and scenery came out...

WOW, this Camera is fantastic

Strengths: - Compact Size - Easy to use - Great Colors

Weakness: None at this time

We had a 5MP Kodak digital camera and I decided we needed to upgrade to something smaller and higher MP's. I did a lot of research and decided that the SD1100 would be the best fit for me. WOW, was I in for a big surprise after my first use. This camera is not only extremely easy to use (especially for my wife), but the colors are amazing, especially in low light. We took a few pics of my kids...

Very nice little camera.

Strengths: Small, image stabilization, very portable, zoomable during recording mode. Lots of options to play with.

Weakness: None.

My girlfriend said the brown color was ugly when she saw it online. However, when we received it, even she was impressed. It's not the typical silver or black camera that everyone has. The brown color is really high class. Take a look at it in a store and you'll see what I mean. The camera is just great. Tones of functions and you can adjust almost everything even long shutter mode. It's quick...

Compact Point and Shoot well worth its features

Strengths: Compact, Reasonably Prices, 8mps!, Image Stabilization!!

Weakness: Would be nice if shutter was 1/2000 vs 1/1500.... I feel the camera is slower compared to my Sd750... its weird because shutter speeds are the same.....

This camera reminds me of my OLD sd230. Its small and it got the job done. No red eye problems so far, but Im sure if I brought this to a bar or club with low ambient lighting, it would be a problem. Picture quality is good compared to my SD750, SD630, SD550, SD600. I currently own the SD630, SD870IS and the SD1100IS. Very compact and I just love the unique Bohemian Brown Color.

Sd 1100

Strengths: size, ease of use

Weakness: build quality

This camera is a lot like the sd 600 I have. The menus are the same, so if you're familiar with other canons, this one will be similar. One difference is that the sd1100 feels cheaper than my sd600. It just doesn't seem as solid.

Great compact camera with gee-whiz features

Strengths: Ease of use, face detection, large LCD

Weakness: Only 3x zoom

I recently received this camera as a gift, and I love it. In the past when I've shopped for cameras in this compact form-factor, usually you have to sacrifice features for size, but not this one. In particular, I really like the features I came to expect on my DSLR... image stabilization in particular. The face detection is both fun to play with and highly effective, it'll pick out faces in a...

SD1100 gets 4 stars on the ultra-compact point and...

Strengths: The Image Stabilization feature, Movie with sound, Crisp picture quality, Manual controls

Weakness: Where is the viewfinder, canon?

I love this camera that is so light and cute and can be put in the pant pocket when you go on an outing. I like the Bohemain brown color (I have silver, black, red and even pink cameras but this is my first brown color camera!) It takes very neat crisp pictures that we are so happy about. I love the IS feature and its good to play clips with sound coming out (my prev one didn't have it). I love...

Great pocket camera

Strengths: Optical IS feature helpful when shooting in either low-light conditions with flash off or at telephoto lengths Fast start-up with acceptable shutter-lag (when not using flash)

Weakness: Battery/memory card cover and hinge made of plastic (no safety latch that needs to be de-activated first before sliding cover out, in order to prevent accidental opening)

Wonderful SMALL camera. I set it on Auto and click away and every pic has turned out very clear. Software installation went off without a hitch and camera transfers pics over in an instant. Display is nice and bright. Battery seems to keep the camera running for forever. Still has viewfinder that's being dropped off of a lot of other cameras. I bought the gray case for the SD1000 that Amazon...

Attractive Looking and takes great pictures!

Strengths: Buttons easy to use given size Menus have nice layout

Weakness: Viewfinder little small

Very nice camera that does well in every test. "Instant" on when in picture viewing mode is very nice to have when showing others or reviewing pictures that have been taken or looking for ones to delete. The viewfinder (although small) is helpful in times when you don't want the screen on just to take a picture. Face recognition is impressive!

SD1100 perfect for your pocket

Strengths: take good pictures, number of menu options

Weakness: So far none.

Like all four digital Canons I have owned to date, this one performs beautifully and as described. It's light weight, easy to use, powers up quickly, and takes sharp pictures. The size and weight is appealing, giving you no excuse to take it everywhere with you. There are plenty of menu options and effects to choose from. I did some experimenting with the image stabilizer, and it _really_ makes a...
