SD1100 vs. SD8500: Best sidekick for the average shooter?
I started with the SD1000 in mind but soon discovered the newly introduced SD1100 before noticing that the identically-priced SD8500 was out-selling it on Amazon by a decisive margin. Even though almost a year older than the 1100, the 8500 offers a few attractive features: 1. a 4X optical zoom lens, with an impressive range of 35mm-140mm (the 1100's is 38mm-114mm); 2. marginally faster shutter operation and less lag time between shots; 3. the ISO settings are reassuringly located in a familiar ...

perfect ultra compact model
I own and am a huge fan of the Canon Digital Rebel SLR and think that it takes great pictures. Unfortunately, there are times when a larger camera with all of it's accessories and lenses can be prohibitive. In preparation for an upcomming event where I would be a participant as well as spectator, I realized that I would be unable to carry around my Rebel.
So, I spent several days reading different reviews before deciding on the Canon PowerShot SD 1100. I mu...

So good, my head exploded
(NOTE: I've had the camera for two days.)
This camera is nothing short of amazing. First, the size. It literally fits in your hand! The size means the camera can slip into a shirt pocket and go ANYWHERE. I wear an orange safety vest at work and this camera fits neatly into a pocket. In the two days I've had this camera, I've taken almost 150 pictures! Entirely due to the size of the camera. It goes everywhere with me now.
Features? How did Canon pack so much ...

I love this camera!
Some people might say (or complain) that this is not a simple point and shoot camera, but if you leave the camera in the auto setting--this camera is as good as they get. Those complainers might want to consider a disposable camera instead. This is not as complicated as using those $1k+ cameras. The manual setting allows you to different things like stitching multiple pictures if you're trying to take a wide scenic pictures, auto focus, video, etc. I really didn't know what to expect from this c...

Perfect for me.
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. This camera fills 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...

A terrific pocket camera
As a travel writer I spend a lot of time at Walt Disney World, and Canon PowerShot Digital Elphs are the most common cameras I see. Families seem to love them, because they're so easy to carry and operate. About the size of a deck of playing cards, each of these "pocket cameras" really do slip right into a pants pocket, and their rectangular designs make them easy to grip. Best of all, they all take good photos. (How do I know? Because I've actually gotten to use every one of these models. Nearl...

Fun little camera!
I am definitely an amateur, not as savvy a user as it sounds like a lot of the other reviewers are. But, from the other extreme of "photographer-smartness", this is a great little camera to use. It's easy, yet has a lot of functionality, which the user guide manages to clearly explain. I needed something very small, which it is, that takes awesome pictures, which it does. Battery life seems very good, so far. My husband likes the manly brown color, too.

Amazon, Amazon, reviewers y'all, tell me which CanonSD is the fairest of all?
First about the SD1100 and later in the review, a comparison between Canon SD series cameras.
The former was the perfect tiny camera that you could slip into your shirt pocket and bring out at a moment's notice and begin clicking away. No wonder it has been Canon's top selling model! It was almost perfect except it did not have image stabilization like some other Canon cameras. And now with the SD1100IS Canon has added it's motion detection technology to this tiny camera which wil...

The lens error problem is for real....
I got this camera for my daughter (in pink of course) in mid-April. She loves it (size, pictures, etc.) but after less than three months it will only flash "lense error, restart" when it's turned on. Too late to return to Amazon. :( On the bright side, a trip to Canon's website support section got me through to a Repair Request Confirmation. Hopefully, this will just cost me postage to Elk Grove Village, IL.
Suspiciously, Canon doesn't list this model on their repair request input scr...

Serious Autofocus Problem
The SD1100 IS is my fourth Digital Elph camera. The previous three have been wonderful cameras. The SD1100 IS is not a good camera. It has serious autofocus problems. The autofocus in flash mode is not reliable. Approximately 20% of the photos taken with flash are out-of-focus. I have pictures taken on a tripod, with flash in which not a single object within the photoframe is in focus.
I suggest you avoid this camera.
