Review on Canon PowerShot SD1100IS 8MP Digital Camera With 3X Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Pink) by Peter Hallett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best camera I've ever had

I've had this camera for a few years now and I'm not sure if they even make this model. Despite that, it's still the best camera I've ever had. I use it less now because I have an iPhone, but it still does a little more than an iPhone. Namely the zoom and the flexibility of different settings. The iPhone is handy, but when I know I'm going to take a picture, I use this camera. PROS1. The size. It fits comfortably in my shirt pocket. It is convenient to pull out when a photo session is coming up. Very important for me.2. Easy to use and set up. With the auto flash, it's just point and shoot. After selecting the desired magnification.3. Excellent image stabilization. Absolutely essential after owning cameras that didn't have it.4. Surprisingly good photo quality for a compact point-and-shoot camera. I can't tell it apart from my old SLR.5. The biggest surprise for everyone was the excellent video quality. I remember paying over $1,000 for a VHS camcorder many years ago, but this camcorder makes much better videos with great sound. Not to mention an enormous gain in comfort. CONS1. NO. I strongly recommend purchasing a second battery. You will be very frustrated if you don't have it when it is needed or needed. I highly recommend this camera.
