Canon PowerShot SD1100IS 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Pink)

I went from a Canon 60 to the SD1100. I am a novice at photography but this little camera makes it easy to shoot great photo's both outdoors and indoors. I just came back from a vacation in the Black Hills of South Dakota and took about 75 pictures. All of them turned out great! Even the digital zoom pictures I took of Mount Rushmore turned out great. I love the size (fits in a small case on my belt and feels when shooting and I have large hands.
Great camera!

My SD1100 actually froze up and died soon after I got it. That's the first time in 4 Canon purchases that I've ever had a problem. I quickly replaced it (Amazon did a refund - very risky to shop for cameras elsewhere on line). The large display is great. As compared to my last pocket camera (3.2 mp Canon sd300??) some of the features I used quite a bit (panoramic/stitch) on the old one are a bit more challenging to locate on the newer cameras. A new learning curve.

I have a 30D that I use for "serious" photo work, the purpose of the sd1100 is that I'll always have a camera on me without a bag of camera equipment. If something should happen to it, I'm out $175, instead of $3k. I take this hiking, on the lake and climbing. For the dollar, the 8mp is MORE than enough. Paying more for 10mp just doesn't make any sense.

Very happy with the purchase. Outstanding camera, for such a low price. Crisp images, nice LCD, load to computer with a click, great video. Pick up a 4GB card. The video takes up massive space. 4GB is 32 minutes of video.

Canon took a nice camera and made it even better. It weighs less. Feels good in your hands. Controls and intuitive and easy to use.

I am in love with this camera. My last camera was also a Canon Powershot, which I bought 5 years ago. Not more than a day after I got this new Canon in the mail, I was telling all my friends and family how much I am enjoying it. It's small and easy to stick in a pocket, but the larger view screen makes it easier to compose shots and check the results. The stabilized zoom is one of my favorite features. I've caught some fantastic shots of my four year old that I never would have been able to get on my older camera. The image stabilizer takes the shake out of the action shots and removes issues that crop up from wind or just your own hand movements. My pictures are coming out with better quality and higher resolutions (so I can enlarge whatever I want). Finally, the battery life in these newer models is amazing. I have taken nearly 300 pictures in the last week and never had to recharge the battery. I purchased a second battery from Tech Fuel and with the two put together, I don't think I'll need to be worried about having my battery charger on me all the time. I am still amazed that this great camera was less than $200. I couldn't be more satisfied.
