Editorial Review :

Color communicates. It introduces you before you say a word, making the PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital ELPH the ultimate image-maker. Five fashion-forward hues expressed in pure aluminum add a new burst of excitement to Canon's Perpetual Curve design. Of course, a camera that brings out the best in you also delivers Canon's most advanced technology features. Call it style with substance, for a new level of picture-taking pleasure.

Great point and shoot camera

Many of the reviews I read on Amazon, and other places, are left by people who just recently purchased the item. Not real helpful. So I waited 11 months. That should be enough time to properly evaluate the Canon PowerShot SD1100IS.

I'll cut to the chase: this is a perfect point and shoot camera for people taking candid shots, vacation photos, kids, and general every day use. The quality is good, the options robust, and it's compact enough that it will fit you in your shirt pocket.

This IS not the perfect camera if you're trying to take professional looking photographs, particularly of nature and especially outside. You just don't have the focal depth to get rich pictures. My father in law has one of the Canon SLRs and you can really see the difference in quality. But you can also see and feel the difference in the size of the camera you're carrying around (a few ounces that can fit comfortably in your pocket v. a few pounds that needs it's own case). I'm not saying it doesn't take good outdoor pictures, it just doesn't pick up everything that your eyes do.

If you need a camera to take to parties, the kids' play date or soccer game, or just having fun, then this is a great camera. It has nearly all the features of other Canon cameras. Also, the video is really good quality and it saves it in .avi format.

Super Great camera.

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.

Faster than any other camera I've played with

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...

So far so good!!

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.

camera and printer

This little camera takes a great picture, is easy to use, and is small enough to put in your pocket. The pictures from the printer are great, and you can also transfer the pictures from the camera to your computer. I love the little printer, though, for puting pictures in a photo album. I was really surprised at the quality of the pictures from the printer. They are great.

Great lil camera on the GO

I am a Flight Attendant for a major USA carrier and travel alot internationally and domestic. It is small enough to stick inside my tote bag and travels very well in a front pocket should I need it on the go. Takes awesome pictures with just a click. I have not had any issues with this at all. I have also gotten so many compliments.

An amazing product!

First of all, I actually had a hard time choosing a color. It is so nice owning a good-looking product. This is my first digital camera ever and I've had it since January. Unfortunately, shortly after I got it, I found out I had cancer. It's all gone now and I've actually been using it since last month.

Anyway, my daughter has been giving me some coaching tips but I've found this camera to be easy to use and it takes great pictures and video. I got this as a package deal with the cables, case, rechargeable batteries, a tiny tripod (which is worthless) and a large SD card. I've had a lot of people say I got a great deal, so keep searching on Amazon until you find it. I found the package deal totally by accident when I lost my data and had to "re-search" cameras. It was buried on page 2 or 3 of the search results.

It's great having rechargeable batteries (4 in all) but they do seem to go through a charge fast.

All of my pics have come out nice, even the ones I took in the bowling alley. The camera has a nice heft and fits into my hand well. I can't wait to learn how to use even more of the features.

Great little camera for its category

I will give it 5 stars because it is a great little camera for its category of small point and shoot. You aren't going to always get professional SLR quality images, but that's not what this camera is. (Also, you can get better battery life if you get a set of re-chargeable NiMH batteries instead of using regular alkaline AAs.)

The video clips are surprisingly sharp and clear on this camera, rivaling those on the Canon SD1200. I took some indoor family photos at Christmas, and this camera's photos were actually somewhat sharper than the very same images taken with a Sony DSC-H20, which has bad indoor noise.

The camera has easy to use features and buttons and a sturdy build. I like that it has a rounded grip on the right side. I also like the easy access ISO button.

One bad thing was that I took some of my photos using an indoor scene mode, because in the LCD screen they looked so nice and warm. However, after viewing them on a computer in Photoshop, those photos were actually too orange. So don't be deceived by what you see on the screen, apparently the color there is not totally accurate. I should have just taken the photos in Auto mode.

I love the cool design and colors of this camera. I bought the white one because it reminded me of my Electra Rosie bike. So I stuck one of my little red rose stickers that came with my bike on the camera, and now they match! Not that I'll be using my camera while I ride the bike, but still. The camera looks really cool. The white one also looks like a little Apple computer.

Good camera for a point and shoot.

I like the fact that the camera uses AA batteries. That's one of the reasons I bought it. I own another Canon camera that takes really good pictures but I wanted one that I could slip into my purse. The camera takes good outside pictures. I did have some trouble taking inside pictures in low light. Also automatic focus was difficult. I was trying to take pictures at a fashion show in Vegas and the flashing lights behind the models and low light everywhere else caused problems that I wouldn't have had with my better Canon. But overall a good camera for everyday use. It's nice to be able to pick up a couple of AA batteries at the drug store if my rechargeables aren't ready to go. It's not that heavy and the robin's egg blue is really pretty. Would be a great first camera for kids.

Love the quality of Pictures!!

I thought this camera was really great. I bought a Canon of the same level only about 2 years ago, and this one as a gift, and I can definitely see a change in the quality of pictures. MUCH better than my 2 year old camera, and I am still pleased with those pictures. I like how small it is. Good design.

Fell apart way too soon

This camera has a lot of good features, but mine has the same shutter/lens cover problem that some other reviews have mentioned. Currently it's stuck on open. I thought it was just mine until I saw the reviews here. For that reason alone I wouldn't take a chance on this camera.

The A520 is a nice reliable digital camera. I bought it to replace one that was lost when my underwater housing flooded. I had an A510, but the A520 is a slight upgrade/update that works in the same housing.

Shy and modest is so yesterday. Get ready for brilliance that's the center of attention once the PowerShot SD1400 IS Digital ELPH camera is in your hands. First glance says it all: nothing moves you like the impact of sleek sculpture, especially when it's drenched in the purest, ripest colors. Inside, Canon engineers defy micro-space with big, brilliant innovation. How do they do it? Who cares!

The ultra-powerful 12x optical zoom on the PowerShot S5 IS means you’ll get the shot you want with no compromise, yet that’s only the beginning of what makes this camera so exciting. S5 IS is loaded with many of Canon’s latest advanced technologies including the DIGIC III Image Processor, so both still images and movies are rendered with fine detail and luminous clarity. And now ambitious photographers have even greater creative latitude thanks to an included hot shoe adapter that allows you to attach Canon Speedlite EX Series external flashes.

Cannon purchase

The service was excellent. Received the camera faster than I thought I would. Only problem is that the view finder is blurred so not sure what the problem is. Gonna have it checked out. Pictures do come out clear.

Had it for a year now

First of all, I have to admit that I'm a little confused because I purchased this (exact) camera from Amazon a year ago for $300 LESS. I'm not sure why the price jump. Anyway, I love my camera. I would call myself an "amateur enthusiast" as far as my photography knowledge. This camera was perfect for my skill level when I bought it and it has helped me grow as a photographer in the last year.

I haven't had any technical difficulties with it (and i mean, literally, NONE). I shoot mostly in the AV mode and I like to play around in the manual mode. I've been incredibly happy with the super-macro setting quality. I wish it had a wider aperture range but that's only because I may be outgrowing it a little. My next camera will be a (Canon) DSLR but there's no way I could have skipped this model and went straight there. It's quick to start up. I very, very rarely have to wait on it -- only when I realize after a shot that I should have used the flash, then I'm impatient to retake it. The LCD screen is terrific in my opinion and I like that you can pretty much angle this camera any way you want without having to shoot blind.

Before I bought it I read all the reviews so I knew about the lens cap issue and I was expecting random troubles. I have had none. Yeah, the lens cap sucks. A lot. I mean, if you're so much as WALKING hard it will fall off, but it's hardly a deal breaker. It's a minor annoyance that I'll take with the rest of the package. I couldn't be happier with this camera.

If you're a hobby photographer who isn't quite ready for a DSLR then this is the camera for you.

Great Little Camera!

This camera is great. I wanted something between an SLR and a small point and shoot so that I could easily take photos for my blogs that were high quality without having to lug around slr equipment.

This camera is great! While the automatic settings are nice, the manual settings are wonderful. I can manually adjust ISO and other features so that my photos come out right for every room and occassion.

There is some noise, but generally, it doesn't bother me. I don't plan on blowing anything up to poster size or anything.

I do mostly macro photography of food and I must say I am in love with the macro and especially the super macro. It's amazing for getting even the smallest details in high definition. This makes photographing food a complete breeze!

One of my favorite features of this camera is the flip around view screen. That makes it soo easy to take self portraits and photos with friends. No more holding your arm out and trying to snap a photo of yourself with a few friends and getting a picture of the side of someone's head.

Some thing that annoy me are that the view-finder is also a digital screen. Because of this I never use the view finder, it's just too distracting. Also, the lens cap pops off every time you look at it the wrong way, which, I understand the concept of... doesn't mean I have to like it though.

Overall, I really enjoy this camera. I'd say the pros outweigh the cons. I feel like anyone could take a great photo with this camera.

The best digital camera I have ever had.

This is an outstanding camera. It is so easy to use. The picture quality is excellent. I am very satisfy with it. The only thing that is not so good about it is that the shutter is a little slow. You have to wait a few seconds before you can shoot another one. But I solved this problem by using the Sport/Action Mode.
