Canon PowerShot SD1100IS 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue)

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.

Fantastic!:

I'm thrilled to be using a Canon point-and-shoot again. The settings are easy to access and utilize and the quality of the photos is fantastic. I was able to pick the camera up and use all of the functions without referencing the manual; everything is laid out very user-friendly. The quality of the photos is great, the size of the camera is great, the price is great...I'd recommend this point-and-shoot to anyone!

Great camera but...:

Got it for my wife and she love the color (of course) and how compact it is.

We used to have the SD500 and loved that until that got stolen/lost.

Best VIDEO quality of compact cameras:

I wanted a pocket camera that also took good video at 640x480. A friend of mine had the older SD1000 and I was particularly struck by the smoothness of the video. However, since that model was older, I tried the SD770 (since it was around the same price as the SD1100 and had more megapixels). What a disappointment! The video quality of the SD770 is far inferior to this camera, showing that "more megapixels" isn't always a good thing.
Along the way, I have compared video quality of similar cameras by... more info

excellent P&S:

Bought this for my 15 year old daughter to replace a DSC40 Sony. Start up time on the SD1100 Canon is amazingly quick. You turn it on and can almost start taking pics immediately. Its compact size lends itself to easy storage in anything a teenage girl carries. LCD screen is very clear even in bright sunlight. The automatic display orientation as the camera is turned is a welcome addition. At 8 MP, plenty of opportunity to cleanly enlarge selected portions of any image, which we did for a science project.... more info
