Nice little camera

This is a nice camera. We are still testing it and so far, it has presented very good quality. It's a bit heavy for a small camera, but I guess that means that it is built well. The screen is pretty fast when turned on/off. The devices are very easy to understand, however,it is always important to read the manual to better use the camera's settings. A lot of times the reason why we don't get the results we expect is because we don't know how to use the camera properly.

BLURRRRRRRRRRY PICTURES.......

I HAD a Nikon Coolpix before this, and was pretty happy with it (has a much easier rocker-panel type zoom, rather than the ring around the shutter button that this one has!), but the lens, after a very minor trauma, broke (wouldn't retract). So, after hearing that this had happened fairly frequently with other Coolpix cameras, I decided to try a Canon. WHAT A MISTAKE!!!!!!! I take A LOT of pictures of my very active 19-month-old daughter, and a good MAJORITY of these pictures are BLURRY, even when taken in good lighting and using the autofocus feature!! SUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!!!!! I took about 20 pictures this morning, and I would say that about 12-14 (I didn't count) will have to be deleted due to blurriness! SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!!! I mean, she doesn't move at lightning speed, and in some of them was BARELY moving!! I looked for ways to change the settings (shutter speed), but found NOTHING!! SO, I am VERY disappointed with this stupid camera, and am looking FORWARD to breaking it so I can go and buy another NIKON COOLPIX, which, except for the lens issue (breaking with minor trauma), took great pictures, MOST of which WEREN'T blurry!!!!!!!!!!

Blurry and overexposed

We got this camera for my daughter for Christmas after my fater-in-law raveda about his SD1000. I cannot figure out how this camera has so many great reviews?! Are their expectations THIS low? We have a 9 year old inexpensive point and shoot that takes better photos! If everything is perfectly still and there is excellent lighting, this camera will take a decent photo. But I'd guess 90% (or more.. it's rare for us to get one that's not) of our photos of people are blurry. And the flash is worthless. It WAY overexposes pale skin tones. I'll upload some of our average photos with this camera later. I expected much better picutre qualit for one hundred seventy dollars. Our camera phones take better pictures. For what it's worth, we don't use auto mode as per other reviews, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. We did go to the store to look at this camera before we purchased and it handles well and pictures seem good looking at the lcd. But when you get them off the camera, they suck. I really enjoy photography and thought maybe my daughter could join me, but it's fairly pointless with this camera. :( I won't ever buy another canon camera and will encourage anyone thinking about it to borrow this one before they decide if canon is the brand for them.

Good for use with Canon WP-DC29 underwater housing

We purchased the Canon SD1200 IS camera and Canon WP-DC20 underwater housing for it to use for a dive vacation in Bonaire. The housing was very easy to use, and very light and easy to carry (there is no need for any weight system). We did not have a strobe, and had no problems with light issues. Very sharp photos and realistic colors. Both seahorses 1 foot away, and squidd 10 feet away, came out sharp. Just put it in Manual "Underwater" mode (select DISP to find this hidden selection) and drop it in the housing.

I gave the SD1200 camera a 4 star as the size is almost too small and hard to handle outside of the underwater housing, and annoying whirring noise whenever in Auto Mode used on land. Will use my older Canon SD800IS for non-underwater use (I love that camera). I would consider purchasing a different camera/housing combination with a larger display if I did it again, but definitely happy with Canon and the WP-DC20 underwater housing.

Great Camera

I purchased this Cannon SD1200IS for my daughter to give to her friend and he loves it. Everything is great, even the size, which I was worried about because his hands are large.

Editorial Review :

Canon's iconic ELPH has always been a show-off, with the looks and smarts that make you want to carry it out in the open for everyone to see. The PowerShot SD980 IS takes the concept even further with Canon's first-ever touch panel interface. The camera that invented sleek and slim is equipped with a huge 3-inch PureColor System LCD screen that responds to your touch, delivering operation that's as natural and intuitive as cutting-edge technology should be.Just touch your finger to the huge 3.0-inch PureColor System LCD panel and the PowerShot SD980 IS responds - creating a fun, natural interface that's just the way you want to interact with technology now. When shooting, you can choose an AF point, select a shooting mode, operate the flash, set exposure compensation and more. Playback functions are also performed at your touch: switch between images, scroll display, magnify a portion of an image and control movie playback.

What an upgrade !!

My last digital camera was a Canon Power Shot SD550 digital elph. I decided to buy a new camera for my trip to Costa Rica. after investigation I chose the Canon Power Shot SD980 IS. It was perfect for this trip. The touch screen makes it easy and fast to use in all types of settings. Anyone who has used an iphone will have no problem using this camera. It is small enough to fit in your pocket yet takes beautiful pictures for an amateur photographer. You can take pictures in bright light as well as almost darkness. The battery has a long life. It is easily charged. It is a perfect little camera.

Nice package but poor usability should make you think twice

I bought this camera hoping for nice general use and was disappointed by some fundamental shortcomings
The camera does well in well lit conditions or indoors at wide zoom levels. The features and touch screen works well after you get used to them
Indoors at more than half zoom and the camera struggles. The slow lens speed and small flash don't measure up to adequate performance
The 720p video is awesome, however be advised that you can not rotate wide screen movies if you take them portrait versus landscape format
Also, the camera does not provide a full owners manual - only an electronic one. This slows down the ability to get familiar with it.
Bottom line, if you need portability this is a good choice. If you need performance indoors forget it
In conclusion, I would recommend this only as a second camera to one that does better at any decent zoom settings and indoors

My new Canon Power Shot A480 is a beauty, I love it. It is not a complicated camera, its performance is amazing and the pictures have beautiful color. I am very pleased with my new camera.

Nice Camera with a small price tag

Perfect photos,acceptable videos and LCD,easy usage ,acceptable size and weight.

It might be as well to be icons on function buttons more understandable.For example:OK text on the button is more understandable than "Func set" text, on the zoom In/Out buttons it would be better to set icons like magnifier with +/- symbols than strange big tree/small trees.

Conclusion:
As a matter of fact I'm satisfied.

Great Camera

My sister in law got this camera first. The first time she asked me to take a picture of her, I knew I had to have one too. It's very easy to use and the picture quality is amazing. It has many different functions, including a 2 and 10 second timer, and the ability to automatically take three pics in a row (on a timer). It's also compatible with sdhc cards. There's only two cons as far as I can tell. One, before you take the picture and you're looking at the lcd screen, it's a little fuzzy. But it always shows a clear picture afterwards. And two, the flash takes a while to recharge, like 5-10 seconds. Other than that, it's simply a great camera. I didn't get mine from Amazon though. I got it from Walmart because it was a little cheaper there.

Canon PowerShot A380 10mp

I like this camera plus that fact I got it in my favorite color BLUE....I only find one thing I do NOT like. My last canon had a zoom in lens to 23X, this camera is only 13X. While that is good, I would rather focus a little closer. I recommend this for daily use. I am never without my camera. This is light and easily portable. Anyone who gets this will be happy about it.
