I have been using a Powershot I2 IS for the last 3 years.
Very good camera with a fantastic 12X Zoom. However, I wanted a
camera to carry in my pocket. So many times I just didn't feel
like dragging a large camera with me to various parties or
events. The Canon SD1100 IS camera
fits the bill - I carry it everywhere.
The pictures it produces are stunning. The 8MP 3X zoom
produces a picture that you can crop to the point that you get
almost the same picture as you would have with the 5MP 12X zoom
lense (my opinion). The movie feature is wonderful too, even
better than the I2 IS.
The Powershot SD1100 feels great in your hand with
a solid, quality feeling. If you have used Canon cameras before
the menus are very intuitive. I would not have purchased this
camera (or any camera for that matter) if it did not have the
Image Stabilization feature. This is
especially a must as you get older.
By the way there is an advantage to the Brown color: If you
have 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 gives 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 person sat right down at the
computer and ordered one! If you want a sub-compact, pocketable
camera that takes great pictures, I highly recommend the Canon
SD1100 IS.
