Canon PowerShot SD1100IS 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue)

Very good camera, canon digital, takes great pictures!!! Easy to use and handle. Good size and cool appearance.

I try to slip my blue sd1100 in my pocket whenever I'm heading out the door.

I've used this camera for nearly 2 years now. The best camera is the one you've got with you, and the sd1100 is slim enough that I can take it anywhere without worrying about bulging pockets. I love the sturdy metal construction on these digital elphs. Mine is a little scratched up, but that's because I've taken it everywhere. It still works great.

The focal lengths (i.e. zoom range) isn't really that impressive, but for snapshots, the range is just fine. As with most on camera flash, the flash is best turned off. The wide end of the lens is actually fairly fast at F/2.8, but the lens quickly stops down at the longer end of the zoom range. So if you want to take photos in low light, use the wide end.

The jpegs are nice quality. I like to use the vivid color setting.

The manual controls are nothing to write home about. You basically get control exposure compensation, white balance, and metering modes. No control over shutter speed or aperture. The camera does all the work.

Still, I've gotten some great use out of this camera, and it is a well-functioning, very-pocketable, point-and-shoot.

Lots of reviews out there, but few mention how snappy this camera is. Nearly instant start-up, which I consider a requirement so that you don't miss that special photo b/c you are twiddling your thumbs waiting for the camera to boot. Similarly, the camera responds very quickly when taking a photo. Again a requirement for me.

I have been thoroughly impressed by image quality.

I was recently disappointed when I dropped the camera onto a hard floor and the lens cell became inoperable..."lens error" or something similar...my favorite camera is not useless...but then again, maybe I shouldn't have dropped it onto concrete...

Great camera I have one and bought a 2nd for my folks, as the film cameras are getting harder to find and have the film developed. The movie mode is good if you can't get the right still shot, the voice recorder is wonderful for getting the whole story during a family story time. Paired with the Micca Slimm
[...] Mom and Dad don't even have to have a computer to see their pictures, listen to their voice recordings or watch their just shot movie on their HD TV. The auto mode on the camera does just about everything for them to get a great shot.

I love it! The color is starting to chip but that's okay. I always use it and I take it with me whenever I don't feel like using my DSLR. It's compact, perfect for when you're clubbing or during parties etc.
Easy to use and less complicated than DSLR ( of course!)
It's well worth the money.
