What our customer's say!

"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.

However, when zoom out all the way @ f2.8, all the four corners are dark, and quite apparent, unless the scence is very well lit, you need to zoom in abit like 1-2 f-stop @ ~f3.1-3.5 to actually not have that happens!

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 Casio, Fuji, Samsung, and other Canons. The SD1100 -- for whatever reason -- has the least noise and most watchable video.

(A downside to the video is that the focus will not change during the length of the video, it is "frozen" at the moment you start recording. However this is true of all compact cameras.)

As for picture quality, it is pretty good, but I found the SD770 to have a slight edge. However, for me, the vastly improved video quality was reason enough to choose this camera. I hate using flash, I don't like the way the resulting lighting looks, so I use this camera almost exclusively without flash. Set in "Auto" mode, the auto white balance leaves a lot to be desired, especially in indoor shots. Depending on the lighting, your shots may come out looking too yellow.

However, I almost exclusively use this camera in Manual mode, and switching to Tungsten white balance usually helps for indoor pictures. As a plus, it also has a "manual white balance" mode, where you focus on something white and press a button, for lighting situations in which the presets are not perfect. This is a great feature too.

Although you don't have direct control over shutter speed, there is an "exposure" setting. I frequently use this to lower the exposure for indoor shots, so that the shutter speed will be greater, so that blurriness will be less of an issue. The picture will not be as bright, but in many cases will be clearer.

Overall, I recommend this camera particularly if you are interested in shooting video. The picture quality is pretty good too but you may have to switch to Manual mode in some situations.


"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. All in all, great camera!

"Generally Pleased", Price and delivery were excellent. Based on early experience, the camera produces the expected, sharp images. Disappointingly, the camera display, in low light conditions, is very grainy -- noticeably more so than my older model Canon PowerShot. I called Canon technical support who told me that this is typical with this camera. Nonetheless, photographs taken in low light conditions remain sharp and clear.

"Great Point & Shoot Camera", This camera is a great point and shoot camera. It is small, compact yet solid. It takes great pictures with little effort and allows immediate feed back on each picture. It has very little delay in the first shot or subsequent shots which was a significant issue with our first digital camera.

"Some good, some bad", As much as I hate to give a positive review to a canon product, this really is an excellent camera. It is very easy to use and understand and is very small (easily fits in a pocket). This camera also uses SD cards which are easy to collect and exchange as needed. Additionally, the camera produces good IQ for a P&S. The camera is also fast to take a picture, it isn't like some other P&S cameras that flash orange lights and pre flashes for 30 seconds before actually making the exposure.

As for the negative, the software that comes with the camera is quite mediocre and difficult to use. If I didn't have a card reader I'd be pretty upset about that.

"Great Point and Shoot Camera", I bought this camera as a replacement for my Panasonic one after reading great reviews and being on top of most products reviews. It is definitively as good as the reviews promised.

8.3 megapixels with optical image stabilization. It can detect up to 9 faces in a scene and use them to set exposure and focus. It also uses face detection to remove red-eye automatically and to calculate white balance for better skin tones (that said some night indoor images seem too orange/yellow, but it gets corrected if you select night mode).

The Motion Detection Technology also uses face detection if the subject is moving and adjusts settings to prevent motion blur.

The lens (38-114mm f/2.8-4.9) is not as wide as the 870's (28-105mm f/2.8-5.8), nor its viewfinder (2.5-inch LCD) as large (3-inch LCD), but is definitively sleeker, more technologically advanced (the 870 does not have the face detection features) and cheaper!

"Very simple to use, not for the power user.", This camera is the perfect point and shoot. The menu's are extremely easy to use, the pictures come out very good and the camera will focus and shoot a picture faster than any camera I have ever used. The drawbacks are the slow flash recharge time and the 3x optical zoom. The screen is a good size, although the newer models have a slighly larger screen. The memory slot will take a 16GB card. I found this out after I bought it and was surprised to see at the highest resolution (8.0 megapixels) you get over 4500 pictures on a 16GB card. Most people probably won't need more than a 4GB card for all their movies and pictures unless you aren't able to get to a computer for a VERY long time. For the price (got mine for $150 on amazon) it is a really good deal for a mid-range economy camera.

"Love the Canon...Love the COLOR!", I bought this for my daughter in law....and she loves it. I too own a Canon SD "older" version....that was the reason we chose this Canon. Mine is still going strong after 3yrs of constant usage and takes super pics & video. This newer model does even more, cost MUCH less and now even comes in great colors! Way to go CANON!
