5 out of 5 stars Every I hoped for in a Point and Shoot   September 5, 2008
Padre Bear (PA United States)
Recently, my wife had purchased another brand of digital camera because she was finding it harder and harder to find inexpensive to mid price 35mm cameras. Unfortunately she did not come and talk to me first who over time has owned four different digital cameras over 12+ years and shemade a purchase from a guy behind the counter in a department store. She has been very frustrated with what she got finding it complicated and non-intuitive.

After a couple of months, and bearing the brunt of her frustration with the digital age I decided to take things into my own hands. I began to do the research and settled on the SD1100IS after a fair amount of research and reviews. I offered her the substitution and the opportunity to use the 1100IS. It is a hit.

She finds the organization of the buttons and functions much clearer and simpler. It is not over loaded with features or complicated options. She prefers the rechargeable batteries because the other camera ran through AAs like a bear at a picnic. She finds the viewing screen much less susceptible to black out from glare and if necessary she loves still having the option of the peephole viewer to shoot through. All in all she is now very happy although she is unwilling to wade into the world of uploading pictures to the computer and will still keep Kodak happy going to the picture printer at Walmart. I guess it is one step at a time.

I am impressed with the quality of the pictures, the color balance, the excellent macro function, and the speed with which she was able to adapt to this camera.

All I need to do now is to figure out how to get rid of the first camera she bought.

This camera takes much better than expected photos, is easy to carry around and I was able to purchase it at a great price throught Amazon. It also arrived sooner than expected , which was an added bonus since my previous camera was definately on it's way out.


4 out of 5 stars An improvement over the SD1000   September 5, 2008
Rafael E. Ramirez (San Salvador, El Salvador)
I bougth a SD1000 last year for my wife, but our daugther basically take it for herself, so I need to buy another camera for my disatisfied wife. I was happy with the SD1000, so I choose this model thinking it will be more of the same, an I like the new colors too.
After some weeks of use, I could say that this is a better camera, it feels more solid, with better materials. The photos are better, not only because of the IS, but with the overall quality (I have made some prints and I think all photos look better).
I don't give it 5 stars because of the limited manual controls. It is a very good, may I say excelent, point and shoot, but if your'e interested in experimenting with your photos, you may want to buy another model with more manual controls.



4 out of 5 stars Great Purchase   September 5, 2008
M. Blakely (Alabama)
We have a Nikon D40x that my wife finds difficult to use and bulky at times. This camera is great for her carry in her purse or pocket and takes excellent photos! We have had no problems at all taking pictures of progress on a house we are refurbishing and also snapping GREAT photos at a SEC outdoor Football game. So far have had no problems. The inside photos were not as great as the outdoor, but I feel like this was from the difficult lighting. Would purchase another. My wife is very picky and so far she has had no complaints!


5 out of 5 stars Theres a reason this has a lot of hight reviews   September 5, 2008
ang
I really debated about getting this camera. The example pics didn't seem great. There seemed to be other cameras that had the same options but for cheaper. I decided that there were tons of good reviews for a reason and boy was I right! I bought this to replace my Kodak Easyshare (that cracked way too easily). I love it. I was looking for a simple easy to use camera that takes great pics. That's exactly what you get with this. Very easy to use. Very easy to download pic and video. Small. I'm sure there are many more functions this camera has but I haven't needed to use them. The image stabilization is automatic and is a must have function.
