The Canon SD1100 is a ‘typical’ IXUS/SD in many respects. It is compact, well built and sports a reasonably attractive design. It offers good output quality in most situations - straight out of the cam - only requiring minimal user intervention.
Its Image quality is good for a camera in this class. The results at base ISO are very clean and detailed. The Canon SD1100 always feels snappy and responsive, thanks to Canon’s latest generation DIGIC imaging processor. Flash recycling times are decent (which is useful when shooting at a party or in the pub) although flash power is fairly limited.
The SD1100 has its good points including very good battery life. 240 shots (CIPA standard) does sounds very good at first but this number can go down significantly if you use a lot of flash or keep the screen switched on to review your pictures for longer periods of time. This is the price you pay for using an ultra compact camera (and therefore an ultra compact battery). The SD1100 was designed as a point and shoot camera and it performs well as such. It’s got an attractive design. It is small enough to always carry it with you and reliably produces good out the box results.
If you are looking for good controls, new groundbreaking features or class-leading image quality and well made pocket camera, Canon SD1100 Digital Camera is the perfect one for your needs.
