Pros: Easy to use interface, SD Card, ISO settings, great backup viewfinder!
Cons: None
The Bottom Line:
This camera will not dissappoint! Great color, excellent features and a viewfinder for those conscious about battery life
I bought the Cannon PowerShot SD1100 a little over a year ago after breaking my sony cybershot on vacation. I was unsure about the cannon product at the time but decided to take a gamble via the recommendation of the salesman at Best Buy.
A year later I swear by this camera. My favorite feature is the "Kids and Pets" setting which optimizes the settings for capturing the namesake. These settings make it easy to select the shooting environment easily. Other options make it incredibly easy to shoot aquariums, night, snow and the like. For more advanced shooters, and as I've grown more accustomed to the camera, there are easy ways to manually change the ISO settings to capture different light and speed conditions. I also like the fact that the camera uses an SD card versus the Sony proprietary Memory Card which didn't work in my computer's memory slot.
I would also like to mention the viewfinder which the camera has in addition to the screen. Too often I find myself wanting to use a viewfinder rather than the screen or to conserve battery power. This camera has both!
The 8.2 MP resolution is great for all types of picture taking and printing. The colors produced as well as excellent and looked markedly better than my old Sony cybershot!
In all, I love this camera and have no reservations about it at all. I have had kids drop it as well as have used it in the rain without fail.
