 Review of the Canon A1100IS Digital Camera |

| After only three months the lens would no longer open. I followed instructions from others on the internet who experienced the same problem. I could not get it open. The camera was like new. I only used it a few times. Never dropped it. Yes, the pictures were good but...a "throw away camera" after only three months!! Too expensive for that! The cost of sending it back for repair exceeded the value of the camera. Check this problem out online BEFORE you spend your money. I will not buy another Canon camera. They're junk! |
Awesome little camera

| I've owned a wonderful Canon camera for a while now(Power Shot SX10IS) but it is big and bulky and not convenient to carry around with me, just in case i need it. I cannot tell you how many times i have said I WISH i had my camera with me....Well, i bought this little beauty and keep it in my handbag and have used it countless times. I am thrilled with the ease of use and the quality of the pictures it takes. I would definitely recommend this camera to my family and friends. |
A great product

| Great camera, easy to use, attractive design. Timely delivery. Just wish it had more memory on the memory card. |
Gorgeous pictures but...

...this camera is a hard-core battery addict! I can use it for "maybe" an hour and the batteries are dead! This happens with or without the view screen on. I either need to get a ton of rechargeable batteries or a power cord!
The pictures are beautiful! I use the macro mode for taking pictures of jewelry and they come out crisp and clear. I'm not a shutterbug by any means so it took me a while to figure out why they were coming out so HUGE.
If the batteries would last longer I'd love this camera! |
Great value

| We just took this camera on an extended trip abroad and were totally delighted with it. It made our old camera that we took along for backup look mediocre. Image stabilization is very good, exposure in low lighting was impressive, and automatic settings worked well to give us impressive photos. The only surprise was that there's no selection for image quality to control the size of the files. |
flimsy battery and memory card cover

| light weight and very cute looking......great quality photos.....however, the battery and memory card cover is very flimsy and feels like it could break with very little force. My older canon's cover worked better and felt more heavy duty. |
I'm not pleased - poor pic quality, construction not durable

| I bought this camera before Christmas 2009, and took lots of pictures during the colorful holidays. I was not thrilled with the results - photos seemed dull, flat, and uninteresting. Photos taken with my 6-year-old Sony were much better! Thought about returning the camera, but couldn't be bothered. Wish I had - camera recently fell off a low end table, and the small plastic clasp for the battery/memory card compartment broke off. Now, because compartment doesn't close properly, camera doesn't always work. I have a good excuse to get a different camera - think I'll go back to Sony. |
Don' like

| Siempre tuve nikon, primero una L4 y luego una L11, pero ahora me cambié para canon, .. el software es mejor del canon, pero la calidad de fotos es muy inferior la de canon. |
WORKS FOR ME.

I just needed a small digital camera to take quick snapshots that I could then email to friends and family. This camera works fine for my purposes. I am not planning on creating art with my snapshots. I have not had any issues with battery life so far. It is easy to plug into my Mac and transfer the pictures and then prep them for email with one click of a button. I tried using a friends older camera this past week. It was hard to hold steady and get a non-blurry picture. This Canon has image stabilization and I have not had even one blurry picture due to hands moving when I press the button. The pictures look clean and clear and in focus. I did a lot of research and this Canon was highly recommended in this price range. I would recommend this camera to a friend who was looking for a camera for the same purposes as I. My only complaint is that there seem to be a lot of
symbols and functions of the camera that are not fully explained in the paper user manual that came with the product. As I use the camera more and more I will have to check and see if there is any digital manual that came with the camera that explains what all these various symbols, etc. stand for and how to use them properly. But as for just pointing and shooting snap shots, it was easy to get started. This is my first digital camera.
Previously I took slides and negatives with a Canon FTb which I still have, but don't use much anymore. It's quicker and simpler to use the digital camera for snapshots to email to family than shoot, develop, print and snail mail pictures. |
