INTRODUCTION

     Let me start by saying I have had the Canon Power Shot SD1100

for at least a full year now and use it all the time. I use almost every

feature it has. First of all I take long and short videos with it which I

am very invested in so I need a camera that is good for that purpose.

I take many pictures with it, from portraits all the way to travel

photos of lions on safari. I need a camera which can capture these

experiences I have extremely well because some things only happen

once and you want a way to remember and share them!! I also use

the upload feature for videos and still pictures constantly because I

have a Youtube Channel with many watchers and am constantly

updating my channel with new videos. Because of this I need a

camera that can do well with quick uploads when I only have a short

window of time to put up a video, all the way to long uploads of

extensive long videos. Below I discuss all features and aspects of the

Canon Powershot SD1100 to the est of my ability to help in your

decision to buy this camera or not.


Taking Videos with my Powershot 1100
    
     This camera has been really awesome in for videos. It has great

quality of picture for long videos as well as short videos. I also really

like the fact that it is so compact when taking videos. You can hold

the camera throughout the taking of the video with ease and still

have a lot of space left to maneuver around because of its small size

and ease of use when holding it while video taking. It can even be put

down in front of you so you can take a video of yourself doing

something and while never touching the camera except to turn it off.

Your videos come out clear and in good color also. It also has great

sound if you are shooting videos where you or someone else is talking.

You will find the person talking in your video easy to hear and their

words captured to a tee!


My experiences with Still Photo taking with my Canon PowerShot 1100

IS 8 megapixel camera

The quality of my still photos is so much better then all my old camera

I have had in the past. The focusing is great and easy to understand

and use. All features and controls are easy to access and work very

well when you need them. I went on safari in South Africa with only 1

camera, the Canon powershot SD1100 IS. I had the time of my life

and wanted to share all my experiences with friends and family to the

best of my ability. Well whether it was lions leaping on their prey,

gigantic elephants drinking from a watering hole, zebra running along

the plains or just dinner by the fire out in the wilds of Africa, This

camera got it

all in focus and with amazing clarity. Every picture I still look at and

through the great quality of the pictures I can still remember one in a

lifetime experiences down to the feelings I was having at that

moment, the taste of hot coffee and rusks on my lips at we relaxed

watching animals drink, or the fear of being an arms length from a

pride of 8 Lions, all the pictures remind me of the great experiences I

had and have kept these times with me forever! A truly great camera

this is I must say.


Uploading Your Videos and Pictures
    
     This is also very easy and done well by this camera. The uploads

are quick and you always find your videos and pictures are all there

and that the camera missed none of your pictures or videos during the

upload, which I cant say for a few cameras ive had in the past.


More Thoughts on the Canon Powershot SD1100 IS

I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone, It is very reliable,

compact, has a good flash with red eye function built in. Its battery

life is good. Videos and Pictures come out just amazing, not just

pretty good but truly amazing quality on its videos and pictures. It

has all necessary functions and they are easy to use find and control

during picture of video taking. Videos and pictures are easy to upload

to your computer. Canon is a brand of Camera that you can count on

so you wont have to worry about this camera failing or breaking on

you. I know Ive had mine for a while now and no problems have come

up!


CONCLUSION

This is just a great little, fairly cheap camera. With all the necessary

functions, amazing picture and video quality, ease of use, and

durability you can count on I would look no farther. I do honestly

hope I have helped you in your decision and please leave comments or

questions if you need more explained about this camera. I will definitely

do my best to answer them.
