Great Camera

I am Canon lover since I knew what cameras are.
This one is again, the best for the purpose of handyness.
Picture Quality is awesome & you can print as much as large as you can and get the same feel as seeing on a Computer.

Outside Nice

VEry nice pictures outside..inside with flash is decent as well. My camera makes noise...when it's on..even the day i took it out of its package!!! idk if it's faulty or not..but it works so i'm okay for now. Battery life is pretty decent...i had mines on for like 4 hours..taking non stop pictures while i was traveling. would be nicer if it's slimmer and shorter..but whatever.

Awesome pocket cam

This is a great pocket cam. Pic/video quality SUCKS of course, compared to a dSLR (which I'm used to), but this little cam allows me to take it anywhere anytime. This advantage compensates for the comparatively crappy IQ (once again, think of dSLR difference). For its category, works great. 2 years of constant use, and still works like a champ.

IS works very well, but videos only in QuickTime format

I've had the camera for 3 months now. The IS works very well, both for pictures and video. My only disappointment is the video format: they are saved only in .mov (QuickTime). Compared to the more common .avi or .mp4, the .mov files are large and will not play on a Windows computer unless QuickTime is installed.

With the SD940IS, Canon has lost it's way

I bought this to replace a 3 year old SD1000 with the hopes that another generation of DIGIC processors would improve upon the excellent SD1000. Boy was I wrong. I should have listened to others who have said that Canon has lost it's way. This camera is very difficult to work with to get a good exposure - like a difficult to use SLR, you need to be aware of the lighting conditions and the limitations and quirks of the camera to take a good picture, you can't just point and shoot and feel confident that you've captured the moment. I found myself shooting a large number of photos and fiddling between the fully auto and the manual mode to understand when to use each. The fully auto mode is able to take some very interesting pictures that I was unable to reproduce in manual mode, for example taking a picture from inside a room of the view outside a window - in auto mode it is actually able to expose both the indoor and outdoor elements. However when outdoors the auto mode consistently produces overexposed and washed out photos. Perhaps the most telling sign is that I actually lost the camera during a trip overseas and did not mourn the loss at all - in fact a felt a sense of relief that I wouldn't have to live with it.

Other annoyances, the black paint chips fairly easily, the power button is hard to find, and it is nearly impossible to hold this camera without partially blocking the flash, which results in large dark areas in indoor photos.

Like a rookie QB with a great arm, this camera had flashes of greatness, but also demonstrated spectacular failures in simple situations and overall was a lot of work to live with. After 8 years of faithfully using Canon Elph digital cameras I'll be looking to other manufacturers now - it was nice knowing you Canon. Buyers be warned - STAY AWAY!

Great Little-Big Camera

The only thing little about this camera is its outside dimensions. It takes high resolution photos and videos, it is packed with features. Has a huge viewing screen. It's so simple to use, all three of my children (7yrs to 12 yrs) and wife immediately took to it.

Canon PowerShot SD940 IS

I did a lot of research and purchased, and returned, two other camera before I found the SD940 IS to be the one. I am extremely nearsighted and the 2.7" screen was better than the 3" widescreen on the SD980 IS. This camera is perfect in every way. It embodies just the right stuff!! Other camera, more expensive and some not, had too much unnecessary features. I wanted a camer that had some weight to it, took great pictures, great video and was compact. This camera fit the bill and was perfect for me. I recommend this camera to those who want a great digital camera with simplicity, yet a lot of camera.

Great camera, with limitations

I bought this camera for a family member, but I borrowed it for about 500 pictures on a recent trip to Nicaragua. I have an older Canon SD870 which I dearly love, but I thought I would like the smaller size of SD940 and it has HD video. The picture quality is up to normal Canon standards... no complaints there. Time-to-start-up, battery life are all excellent. But I have two complaints: (1) Even though I think I have normal size hands, the buttons (particularly the power and shutter release on the top) are just too far recessed to be accessed easily, and without looking. On the flip side, my Canon SD870 is just the opposite - it's too easy to accidentally power on the camera. And (2) Canon replaced one of the dedicated thumb wheel selectors... the shooting mode. I like to easily be able to select Continuous Mode. When you need it, you need it right away, and you don't have time to plow thru menus. For that reason alone this camera will not be replacing my SD870. If that's not important to you then you'll love this camera.

Great underwater camera

I tested this camera to depth around 5 meters underwater.
Its performance was great and the quality of pictures looked like professional.
The LCD display is large enough to see under water. Also, camera controls are easy to handle while diving.
The amazing character is the quality of pictures at high zoom, super!
Also, the video quality is perfect.
I recommend this camera to any divers wether professional or amateurs.

Good Buy

I just recently received this camera and have tested it at a wedding and in a pool. The pool pictures were great although at one point the screen flickered. The wedding pictures were ok, still shots were good and moving shots not so much. Overall I recommend this camera especially for the price and I still have not gotten around to reading the instructions which may have something to do with the movement shots.

Nice camera but cheap accessories

I received this Kit a couple of weeks ago. First of all delivery was pretty quick. I loved the camera itself, I wanted to buy underwater camera as I like snorkeling and needed to make pictures underwater, my previous Sony DSC H10 could not do descent underwater pics (I used it with waterproof case). Canon's underwater mode is just beautifull. Now I'm playing with panorama pictures like it so far. As for the accessories I do not think that they are absolutely necessary. Floating strap is absolutely useless it supposed to be a safety devise in order not to loose the camera, but it's snap is made of soft plastic and won't hold so camera keeps falling down. Strap which is supplied with the camera much better. Leather bag looks and feels cheap. All my laptops have special slot for SD card so I found digital usb card reader quite useless too. Spare battery is a must buy. Memory card - must buy. Tripod very nice. The rest of accessories are not so necessary.
My overall opinion is that the camera is very nice!

An exceptional camera for the price

This camera is a replacement for my wife's older digital camera for carrying in her purse or pocket. She still wanted it compact with the convenience of using easily available AA batteries. The camera that this Canon A1100 IS replaced was only three years old but it had a typical problem of unacceptable shutter lag. This Canon is quite adequate in regards to it having very short first and succeeding shot delays.
'Regarding battery life.' Two AA batteries are not going to give you as many photo shots as rechargeable dedicated batteries. You should not have any problem as long as you are aware of this and keep spare batteries available. For longer battery life you can turn off the LCD display when you are in brighter areas and use the viewfinder We have been able to exceed well over one hundred shots even with the LCD display on one set of AAs. This included reviewing, erasing, and editing photos
'Optical viewfinder.' In some of the reviews there was some complaints regarding the size and accuracy of the viewfinder. At least this camera has one. It is getting rare to find point and shoot digital cameras with one. It is a matter of squeezing in a larger LCD display with the more compact cameras with little or no room for a viewfinder. There are times I still like a viewfinder for quick shots.
'The macro mode' This is excellent on this camera. I took some photos well within two inches of the subject with excellent results.
'The owner's manual.' The supplied CD user guide is one of the better ones I have seen. I think it is well written, particulary for people that are less familiar with digital cameras. I would still suggest making a print out of the manual for convenience. The printed 'quick start guide' is the best I have ever seen.
We have several digital cameras that range from ultra compacts to DSLRs. This is one camera that I suspect we will use often. All in all this is a fun to use little camera. My only regret is that instead of getting the green we should have gotten the pink one 'and' a blue one.

viewfinder

Last of the compact cameras with a viewfinder. Image stabilizaton, advanced electronics, 2 aa batteries,and many options. A really great camera. Only negative , there is no user manual-only a cd. This presents a problem when you are travelling and need to check something.

Fuzzy

I had 3mp and 8mp cameras that I feel took better pictures. Most of my problems were with indoor pictures coming out fuzzy and/or pixelated. There is an easy setting and even with using this function I still had poor picture quality. I know this has a 12.1 MP, but to me it is of no use if the pictures come out the way they did. I did read the manual and even with following the suggestions for taking picutres I still had this problem. HOWEVER, As far as taking "posed" shots in very good lighting the pictures came out GREAT, but for taking those pictures of activities, especially indoors (yes I did use flash), I have many poor images of great memories. I am definitely not a "technical" type person, but with owning two other digital cameras I didn't have this type of a problem. It seems like an easy to use camera, So I guess that is why I am so disappointed that I had this problem.

Great little camera

Love this camera and I keep it in my bag at all times. It takes great photos for every day snapshots when a dslr is not convenient to carry. The only complaint I have is the lack of a Sports mode. The Children and Pets mode is the closest I can find and it does an alright job with kids. However, although I've gotten a few good sports shots with it, it's still on the slow side and not fast enough to catch some of the best action shots.

Fabulous camera

I purchased this camera a week before I had to attend a wedding! Not only was it very easy to use, but the pictures and video were awesome. I previously owned a Sony Camera, that I still can't figure out. If you are looking for a truly "point and shoot" this is it!! Thanks, Canon
