Excellent compact point and shoot
Overall, I think this is a great compact camera and is invaluable for the spontaneous people shots that capture those special moments in life. It won't take pictures worthy of National Geographic (meaning it won't replace a dSLR), but it fills in well when a large camera is just too much equipment to be carrying around.
Pluses:
*Very short power up to shot time
*Pocket friendly
*Solid build, mostly metal body
*Great battery life
*Bright LCD with good res...

The PERFECT camera!
The Canon Powershot takes pictures superfast and ultra-clear. It even takes photos with a subtle depth of field, in other words you can focus on something in the foreground and the background will be slightly blurred. Its a lot like using a 35mm, or the Digital Rebel. The photos are amazing! I used to have a Sony and everything looked so flat. You can get some real artistic shots with this little beauty....and the best part is that its shocking hot pink and I got mine for under $200!!! I love it...

Great Point-and-Shoot Camera!
I got this camera because my son is nearly 2 and I'd noticed that my photo taking had dramatically dropped off. He'd be doing something adorable and I'd run to get the camera and by the time I got back he'd be five activities past whatever he'd been doing.
I needed a Dad camera - one that was small enough to carry with me all the time, started up fast, had good image stabilization and face detection, decent zoom and flash, was 100% automatic (no tweaking with portrait mode vs. sunny ...

Excellent Camera For the Price!
I own this camera for several weeks now and I absolutely love it! The pictures are crystal clear! If you use night mode, your pics will turn out great too! I also suggest using the "kids and pets" mode if you have small children and pets running around the house to prevent blurs in your pics.
I have to agree with other reviewers that mention that the program mode is better than the auto mode. In auto-mode I sometimes would get blurry photos. I enjoy the "face detection" feature, but...

Canon SD 1200IS - A great bargain
A very capable camera for the price, and wonderful for on-the-go pictures. I previously owned the Canon SD 1000 and while I enjoyed the features it had, wished it included the image stabilization "IS" feature. The 1200 has IS, and it has made noticeable improvements on those quick shots. The camera takes wonderful pictures in a variety of light settings, and is incredibly easy to use. All in all, for the price, great camera and highly recommended.

Viewfinder a plus
Great small camera with a viewfinder as well as the LCD. I have found it difficult to take pictures outdoors using a camera without a viewfinder. Picture quality is great, camera is small enough to carry easily.

great little cam, some improvements from earlier powershots, some quirks
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) The SD1200 has some big changes over its predecessor SD1100, and is the smallest, best designed Elph I've used thus far.
I've owned many models of Elph, this is my 6th or 7th, so my review is aimed especially at other serial Canon owners. I mostly compare the SD1200 to the SD1100.
* The big changes: Digic4 and a larger CCD sensor. The slight increase in CCD size (...

Review of Cannon SD1200IS
Wow! This is the 3rd Cannon Elph camera that I have owned. Cannon hit a home run with this one. I can't seem to take a bad picture with this camera. I use it for work and take pictures all day long under different situations. Everything operates on automatic, the camera even switches automatically between long distance and macro modes. It is able to produce great pictures in different lighting situations, where my others cameras have failed in the past.
This is about my 25th dig...

Professional photographers review
I'm a professional photographer. I got tired of dragging my D3,D200 or other large cameras around, and worrying about it getting damaged. I decided to buy a camera just for fun that could fit in my purse and I wouldn't have a heart attack if it broke. Well I didn't hold that high of expectations of the camera, but after getting it, I've had a lot of fun with it. Not the most amazing pictures come from it (I am used to very high quality pictures), but they are good enough shots of my family. It's...

Love my new Canon!
Awesome camera, I'm an amateur just wanted a camera for vacation and spending time with friends and family over the summer. It's light and compact, easy to use and enjoy the settings especially at night time. I had a Kodak Easyshare before and it was great, but now the canon is showing me what I was missing out on. The point and shoot is very quick, I can take multiple photos rapidly and the video quality is good as well.
