Editorial Reviews Canon PowerShot SD1100IS
Manufacturer Description
Color communicates. It introduces you before you say a word, making the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph the ultimate image-maker. Five fashion-forward hues expressed in pure aluminum add a new burst of excitement to Canon’s Perpetual Curve design. Of course, a camera that brings out the best in you also delivers Canon’s most advanced technology features. Call it style with substance, for a new level of picture taking pleasure. PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph Highlights
8.0-megapixel Digital Elph with 3x optical zoom and optical image stabilizer With 8.0-megapixel technology at its heart, the PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph brings you high-resolution images that maintain their sharpness and vivid impact even when they’re enlarged and cropped. The 3x optical zoom is a clear winner when it comes to getting up close and personal. And Canon’s invaluable Optical Image Stabilizer reduces the blur of camera movement, even in tricky, low-light situations.
With Canon's Face Detection WB (right), skin tones are not affected by overall lightingEnhanced Canon Face Detection Technology Canon's powerful Face Detection Technology delivers even better results with the new SD1100 IS Digital Elph. The Face Detection Technology continues to recognize faces in a scene, and concentrate exposure (daylight or flash) and focus upon them. But the SD1100 IS Digital Elph adds more: Face Detection WB means the camera concentrates upon faces when calculating white balance for the best possible skin tones. Face Select and Track lets the SD1100 IS Digital Elph user highlight one face among several in a scene, and the camera concentrates on that person, even as they move around the scene. Face Detection Technology is a powerful contributing factor in Canon's new Motion Detection Technology. Motion Detection Technology automatically reduces blur Life doesn’t stand still for picture-taking. That’s why Canon included its advanced Motion Detection Technology in the PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph. This sophisticated feature works in the background to instantly evaluate how fast your subject is moving. Then it automatically selects and sets the optimal exposure and ISO settings to keep everything looking sharp and clear.

When you need higher ISOs for action-stopping shutter speeds, Motion Detection Technology provides it. But when no movement is detected, it allows lower ISOs for excellent color and detail. So whether you’re shooting a bride walking down the aisle, a ballet recital or even a child’s soccer game, you can relax and shoot with confidence knowing you’ve got the picture you intended. Selectable Shooting modes With 18 Shooting Modes including 9 Special Scene Modes, you’re ready for whatever shot comes your way.
2.5-inch PureColor LCD II for bright, accurate color The PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph gives you large 2.5-inch LCD screen for excellent control when framing your shots. Canon’s PureColor LCD II offers more spectacular color, resolution and contrast even when viewed at an angle (compared to PureColor LCD). The screen is highly durable and easy to see in any light with a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coating. It also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light -- a perfect feature for gathering friends and family around to see your images. DIGIC III Image Processor for sharper images and improved functionality With DIGIC III, your images boast superior quality, the camera operates at top efficiency and battery life is enhanced. What’s more, DIGIC III enables Canon’s Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Simply press the Shutter Button halfway down, and the camera automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. The camera controls exposure settings and flash to keep every face looking bright and natural. Red-eye Correction can be handled in-camera, in two ways. The entirely new Red-eye Correction during shooting uses the Face Detection Technology to recognize and remove red-eye from flash images as they're taken, before the file is written to the memory card. It's also possible to correct red-eye during image playback, using simple settings in the SD1100 IS Digital Elph's menu. iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance. Red-eye correction Red-eye Correction provides three options for removing red-eye from subjects in flash pictures.
The new Red-eye Correction during shooting actually identifies and corrects red-eye in human subjects as pictures are taken.
The SD1100 IS Digital Elph can be set to automatically detect and correct red-eye during image playback.
The user can manually locate any red eyes in a scene during image playback on the LCD screen, and command the camera to remove them. High ISO The PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater shooting flexibility. The Complete Print Solution The PowerShot SD1100 features a Print/Share button for easy direct printing and downloading, plus ID Photo Print and Movie Print with select Pixma photo printers and Selphy compact photo printers. The PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph's Print/Share button makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the SD1100 IS Digital Elph to a Canon Pixma photo printer or Selphy compact photo printer or any PictBridge compatible photo printer, press the lighted Print/Share button and print! Also use the Print/Share button to transfer images to a computer (Windows and Macintosh). Print your own ID photos in 28 different sizes or use the Movie Print function to output multiple stills from a recorded movie on a single sheet with a Canon Selphy compact photo printer.

Customer Reviews Canon PowerShot SD1100IS
Canon 1100 I love this camera!!! It was shipped fairly quickly and was exactly what I was looking for at an amazing price. It works fantastic and takes great pictures
Excellent take anywhere camera A lot has already been written about this camera. It has met my expectations for a pocket snapshot and video camera...clear pictures and video while always being just the right size to fit into my small purse or my pocket. There are better cameras that are larger, but they would get left at home due to their inconvenience.
Pretty good I don't know if it's the greatest camera in the world, but I'm very happy with it. It's my first.

Features and Settings The camera offers several shooting modes for use in various situations: Auto: The default setting that is most often used by most users, auto on my Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS does a great job of compensating for most conditions. This setting does favor the flash in low light conditions. The pictures I took in this mode were excellent, for the most part. It does moderately well indoors and actually manages to capture “moods,” rather than sucking the life out of images in a futile attempt to compensate for low light situations. The macro setting (denoted by a flower on one of the buttons) is available in this mode and functions quite well. I was able to take outstanding close-ups of various fabric textures and jewelry. The camera allows you to zoom in while reviewing pictures and doing so allowed me to gauge how well the images were turning out. Doing so revealed several clothing fibers that were stuck in the prong of my engagement ring, invisible to the naked eye. A picture taken the following day after a trip to the jewelry store revealed that a cleaning had been effective in removing the fibers. Camera M: This manual mode allows the user to alter settings such as white balance and colors. I found this mode to be fun to play around with, but not as useful as the other settings when taking pictures. I fooled around with this mode while photographing a sunset at the pier in a local park. Altering various setting produced some dramatically different and beautiful results, but in most other situations, I found the camera’s pre-set modes to be more than sufficient for my needs. The manual mode does not allow manual focusing, which gave me less control than I would have liked, but it certainly wasn’t a problem for a point-and-shoot camera. Portrait: As it’s moniker would suggest, this mode is for pictures of people (still or posing). It employs the red-eye flash settings in taking pictures. I found it do a great job for portraits within 4-10 ft. For pictures farther away than that, I found the indoor mode to be more useful. The pictures that I did take using this mode were properly exposed, with no red eye. Night Snapshot: Another self-explanatory setting, this mode is best for images taken at night. Portraits taken at night with this mode were well lit and sharp. I didn’t notice a high incidence of noise as I had expected. The default flash setting on this mode has the flash going off, but when turned off, I found this setting to be helpful with the use of the camera’s continuous shot mode. The shutter speed seems to be set high, to compensate for the flash. When the flash was off, day or night, the shutter speed helped me get some great action shots when I toggled the continuous shot setting. Color Accent: A mode I use purely for entertainment value, color accent allows the user to choose a color from a sample in your image to be “accented.” All other colors are muted and the images taken appear black and white, with the exception of that color. I took some fun, dramatic pictures with this, but I couldn’t find a real use for it. I’m really not keen on the idea of allowing the camera to throw out color information for portions of the picture. Something like this is best done in an editing program where the original image can be saved and then played around with. Color Swap: Like the preceding mode, color swap is another “fun” mode. This mode allows you to choose a color and “swap” it with another one. This one has a few more practical uses, perhaps useful in determining what a new paint color will look like in a room. The problem is, this mode only picks up on exact shades so it is most useful in well-lit situations. A dark room for instance, with shadowy areas on the walls, will be interpreted as different colors to the camera and only a few areas will be “swapped.” Digital Macro: This is another close-up mode, which I haven’t used much. Stitch Assist: Stitch assist allows the user to “stitch” images together to create a panoramic picture. This is much easier to use than one might anticipate and produced some interesting images of the horizon from the beach. A number of scene modes are also offered to further your camera’s ability to adapt to many picture-taking scenarios. Though I described the excellent auto mode above, you’ll get better results with other presets in some situations: Foliage: This mode seems to make colors more vivid and gives images a romantic glow. Though fall is a long way off, and the summer is still some time away, I didn’t have too much foliage to shoot. This mode did result in some beautiful sprouting flower pictures, however, and some interesting shots of some fake leaves I’m considering using in my wedding decor. Snow: The snow setting helps ensure that the snow will be the image’s whitest white, allowing the user to capture beautiful winter scenes. With no snow on the ground (and hopefully no more until next year), I have not yet been able to test this mode. I’ll update this as soon as I do. Beach: The beach mode compensates for bright sunlight, which I found helpful not only in a few beach pictures on my last trip to the park but with any outdoor pictures in the sun. The images I took in this mode did not look overexposed and allowed me to capture accurate coloring. Sunset: Sunset mode, as the name hints, is for taking pictures of sunsets. I was able to get beautiful sunset pictures in this mode, and similar images in foliage mode. My guess would be that both employ the camera’s vivid color mode as well as adjusting some other settings. Fireworks: Dedicated to photographing fireworks, this mode uses long shutter speeds to capture dramatic pictures of fireworks. This mode is difficult to use without a tripod, as it picks up the motions in your hand and the ensuing blur. I believe when used correctly, this mode will be very effective in performing its job. I was able to steady my hand on a railing and use this mode to take pictures of a chiminea engulfed in flames at a barbeque (my firefighter cousin was in charge of the mini-inferno). The photos turned out quite dramatic and amusing. Aquarium: I was surprised to see this mode, but found it to be a great idea. Aquarium mode reduces the amount of reflection caught from glass and makes colors more vivid, as would be necessary when taking pictures at an aquarium. My fiance and I plan to visit the New York Aquarium soon for a real test run, but in the meantime, I took photos of our large fish tank at work. When I brought the pictures home, my fiance’s response was, “You went to the aquarium without me?" I guess it’s safe to say this mode works! Underwater: This camera is NOT waterproof. Underwater mode if to be used in conjunction with the camera’s waterproof housing. I have not picked it up yet, though I am considering it for our honeymoon to St. Lucia. The housing is a bit on the expensive side ($200), so we’ll have to see. Indoor: Indoor mode, intended for indoor pictures, is one of my more frequently used modes. So far, the indoor images have been great; all of the images have been sharp and the colors have been vibrant. I believe the image stabilization plays a big role in keeping the images sharp. I did get red-eye once or twice in this mode, but the problem was corrected when I re-shot the same image in portrait mode. Kids & Pets: Kids & Pets is great for capturing things that are moving. This mode uses fast shutter speeds and produced some great action shots for me. I was able to take some excellent images of my two dogs playing and the pigeons landing during “toss” (a training run). This mode did produce some blurry images once in a while, which was fixed when I shot the images with night portrait mode. The colors are more vibrant in this mode, however. Other Settings: The Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS offers a number of color options; vivid, vivid blue, vivid green, vivid red, neutral, sepia, black & white, positive film, lighter skin tones, darker skin tone, and custom. During the times when I manually set the colors, I mainly used the vivid settings. Sepia, black & white, and neutral all worked well, but I’m not so comfortable with doing these kinds of edits in camera. I’d rather shoot all of the images in color and edit them at will on my computer. This allows me to save the color image for future use and have the altered copy. The camera also offers multiple ISO settings. These include auto, high ISO auto, ISO 80, ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400, ISO 800, and ISO 1600. Most of the time I used the auto-setting, which produced great images with very low noise in most cases. ISO 800 and 1600 both produced moderate noise, though not as noticeable as some other cameras I dealt with. Most of the noise appeared in the form of varying shades in the background. I’ve worked with some cameras that pick up what looks like brightly colored confetti on high ISOs. That was not the case with this camera. White balance options on this camera include auto, daylight, cloudy, tungsten, fluorescent, fluorescent H, and custom. I took advantage of the auto setting most often, which I felt did a good job of producing appropriately balanced images. Tungsten, cloudy, and daylight were a lot of fun to play with while I was taking images on the beach and at sunset. I didn’t use the two fluorescent settings much. I found the custom setting to be too close to the auto setting for me to use it. The SD1100IS offers a self timer, which can be set to 2 seconds, 10 seconds, or a custom setting. Audible warnings alert you to when this mode is activated, giving you time to jump into the picture. The same button, which controls the self timer, can toggle the continuous shooting mode which shoots at 1.3 frames per second. The continuous shot mode is slower than my SD600, which is disappointing but still very good. I use this mode a lot when shooting the dogs playing and I still get a rapid succession of photos. There was a larger gap between photos, but it did cut down on the pictures I throw out. Often when I’m dealing with a faster camera, the intermediate pictures in a set get thrown out because there’s not much of a difference between them. Now I use all of the images in the succession when I scrapbook. The maximum aperture of this camera is f/2.8(W)-f/4.9(T). The shutter speed ranges from 15 seconds to 1/1500 second.
