I’ve been using a Canon Powershot I2 IS for the last 3 years now. Very nice camera with a great 12X zoom. Yet, I wanted a digital camera to carry in my pocket. Numerus times I just didn’t feel like dragging a big camera with me to parties or events. This camera was the thing I was looking for. I now carry it everywhere.
The photographs it creates are stunning. The 8 megapixels and 3X zoom produces a picture that you can crop to the point that you get almost the same picture as you would get with the 5 megapixels 12X zoom lense. The film feature is great too, even better than the I2 IS.
The camera feels great in your hand with a good, superior feeling. If you have used Canon cameras before the menus are very natural. I would not have purchased this camera (or any camera for that matter) if it did not have the Image Stabilization feature. This is particularly a must as you get older.
We did close-up pictures on flowers and even hair and eyelashes and it’s astonishing what resolution we had with the camera and with such clearness. The camera is easy to use and is small sleek and compact. I got the one in brown color and it looks different and sohpisticated without searching too overly girly or masculine. Sound quality all over the video recording was crisp and pictures were nice and vivid and not at all pixelated.
By the way there is an advantage to the Brown color: If you get to use the optical view finder outside, the camera itself produces minimum glare for you eye to see more clearly through the small opening. The color also makes the LCD playback pop. And as a bonus, it really makes the camera a luxury look, you have to see it in person to appreciate the color.
I recently took it to a monthly card party and everyone went wild over it. So much so that one individual sat right down at the computer and bought one!
If you want a sub-compact, pocketable camera that takes good photos, I highly recommend the Canon SD1100IS. Definitely a great purchase and well worth the money.
