Canon PowerShot SD1200IS Digital Camera - 10 MP with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD Display - Dark Gray Review

This camera does what I need. The only thing I don't like is that sometimes you have to wait a bit longer for the autofocus to catch up. And you should watch it. Or you're far away and realize that an important shot turned out to be crap because you didn't check it before the shot. It's only a matter of time. I take a lot of photos in a short time. The simpler, the better, since you can always rely on the functionality. Aim and shoot as usual, best suited to this environment. Don't point, make…

This camera was designed to replace the same model that was stolen on holiday. My original camera was the same model, only dark grey, bought 3 years ago. After the theft I immediately went to Revine to have it replaced with the same model. Since this model is unfortunately already 3 years old, I could not afford a camera in dark gray. The prices for a new camera in this color were twice as high as the original camera! So I made a compromise and went for a new blue camera of the same model at a…

I bought a Casio Exilim S5 before I bought this camera. I used to have a favorite Casio so I decided to stick with the same brand. Little did I know the S5 didn't even come close to my old Casio. Upset that I had to return it, I went to local electronics stores to see what they recommended. Both stores I visited recommended this camera and said I was disappointed. They explained to me in detail what is the difference between this camera and the S5 and why the S5 does not take good pictures. I…

We bought this camera to replace a 5 megapixel camera that was showing its age. My photography skills are amateur. This camera makes me look like I know what I'm doing. If all you want to do is point and shoot, this camera is for you. If you want more professional images, this camera is also suitable for you. A switch changes automatic, manual and video modes. A definite plus is that the camera remembers manual settings after they've been made. Even if the camera is turned off and on again…

This is my fourth Canon PowerShot/SureShot. I'm strict with my cameras - I'm a blogger so my camera is always in my pocket, on my wrist, in my pocket. I need a reliable, small camera that can take crisp, fast photos and videos. When my last camera died a tragic death on concrete, I knew I would return to Canon. The only issue I have is that one of the reasons I'm going back to Canon is because I've accumulated a lot of batteries and chargers from dead cameras over the years. The PowerShot…

I bought this when my Sony Cybershot died. After several weeks of searching, I decided on this camera. It seemed like you couldn't beat it for the price. I'm an amateur photographer and my main camera is a Canon Rebel Xti DSLR. I wanted the camera to fit in my bag when I didn't feel like carrying a DSLR around. Here are the pros and cons of this camera that I've been using for a few months. Pros: Great amazing clear macro shots! This camera rivals my DSLR in macro quality, water droplets on…

Very satisfied with the camera. It takes excellent, well-exposed, razor-sharp images and is very compact. It's about the size of a 7/8 inch thick credit card and feels nice like a solid metal case. I use it as a secondary camera when I don't want to lug around my bulkier DSLR. The optical viewfinder is a nice feature. Canon seems to be one of the few brands still making sub-compact/compact cameras with an optical viewfinder. Function is disabled. Canon claims you can get around 700 shots, which
