Review on 📷 Canon PowerShot SD1300IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera - 4x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom, 2.7-Inch LCD (Green) by Sameer Hilton

Be aware of this camera's image quality issues: - Images are often blurry unless you are outdoors in daylight - Colors often do not match reality - In bright light the Contrast light areas overexposed and too dark. Images lose their detail and look unnatural. To justify my comments above, I'll compare to the Canon SD800IS, which I've been using for many years. I also have a Canon Rebel T2i which I have been using for almost a year. Both cameras take great pictures. I calibrate my monitor with X-Rite i1 Display Pro. I bought my daughter an SD1200 in the summer of 2010 and it takes good pictures for the price. The SD1200's size and acceptable image quality led me to purchase the SD1300 for easier aiming and shooting in my pocket. Unfortunately, quality issues mean I can't rely on the SD1300 unless I'm shooting outdoors in bright sunlight. I think the Digic 3 was a better processor than the Digic 4. The SD800IS, which used the Digic 3 processor, beats the Digic 4 based SD1200, SD1300 and SD780 (which I bought for my mom). The SD1300 is even worse. Canon just seems to keep getting better and has finally reached the point where the ELPH no longer has an advantage over inferior cameras from other manufacturers. I'm not sure my loyalty to Canon will last, at least not when it comes to point and shoot cameras.
