Another home run from Canon

In my opinion nobody can aim digitally quite like Canon and the SD1300IS is another example of maximum functionality in a small body. . I own or still own Canon S3IS, S5IS and Rebel XS. Those three cameras are huge compared to the SD1300IS. I bought this camera for my wife to carry around in her purse so she can take photos and videos of the kids while they are outside or when she comes to school. . No camera bag required, this camera fits in the inside pocket of your zipped purse. I gave it to her and she was successfully turning it on and off, taking photos, recording videos, zooming, deleting bad shots, and navigating menus. Systems without consulting management. The thing is, if you currently own a Canon point-and-shoot and are looking for an upgrade, the learning curve is almost zero with the SD1300IS. If you've never owned a Canon point and shoot camera before, it's easy to find out. The 12MP shots are amazing but to be honest I can't tell the difference between 12MP and 8MP. on my Canon S5IS. The recordings that the Rebel XS takes are a class above the others, the difference is definitely noticeable. Video quality 30 fps 640x480 (a lot), same as my S5IS. For this to be useful, image stabilization is essential and it works like a champ. 4 GB SDHC card holds about 32 minutes of video, 8 GB - 64 minutes, 16 GB - more than 2 hours! Videos can be easily transferred to your computer and burned to DVD or uploaded to Facebook using the included USB cable. The kit also includes a cable that allows you to play videos on your TV using the yellow video cable connector. The appearance of the camera is very cool. I bought my wife the green one and it looks great. I like how the lens fully retracts into the body and is covered with a protective layer. A handy camera strap is also included, which is good because this thing is so small I could see it slipping out of your hands. All in all a very easy to use, functional, attractive camera that I can recommend without hesitation!

Pros
  • Low light shooting in low light
Cons
  • Some difficulties
