Sale Apple iPod Touch 8 gb Lowest Price



Design For better or worse, the iPod Touch is clearly the iPhone's baby brother. Like most products that roll out of Apple, the Touch shows the love of committed designers, hardware engineers, and usability experts. The iPod Touch measures a slim and pocketable 4.3 inches by 2.4 inches by 0.31 inch, with an all-metal-and-glass design that feels as expensive as it looks. Because nothing will ruin a portable video player faster than a gouge across its screen, we're happy to see that the face of the Touch uses the same scratch-resistant glass found on the iPhone. Most users will still want to buy a protective case, however, since the iPod Touch feels a little fragile and the back is covered with the glossy, scratch-prone, smudge-loving chrome exterior common to most iPods.
iTunes Wi-FiBoth the iPod Touch and iPhone allow users to browse, preview, purchase, and download music from the new iTunes Wi-Fi music store. The store is limited strictly to music downloads--no movies, TV shows, podcasts, or games--at least, not yet. You'll have to hop onto an available Wi-Fi Internet connection to take advantage of the wireless music store, but once connected, you can search for any artist, album, or song in the iTunes catalog, as well as browse by genre, top sellers, featured artists, and new releases. Store purchases require you to enter your iTunes password as a security measure. Once the download is complete, the song is immediately available to listen to and will transfer to your computer's iTunes music library the next time you sync the device. The feature seems to work without any kinks. Even interrupted downloads pick up once a Wi-Fi connection is re-established.
Apple has also announced a partnership with the Starbucks coffee chain that will allow iPhone and Touch users the ability to access a Starbucks-branded version of the iTunes Wi-Fi music store when the device is used at participating cafes--without paying to use the hot spot. We doubt that anyone will purchase the Touch based on this added functionality, but it bears mentioning.
Final thoughtsWe think the iPod Touch is a great product with lots to offer, but its premium price tag should give some shoppers pause. Don't assume that Apple's most expensive iPod is the best solution for your needs. If you're planning on watching a lot of video, high-capacity products like the iPod Classic or Archos 605 WiFi will allow you to load entire seasons of your favorite TV shows. Also bear in mind that if you're not around an available Wi-Fi network, features like the Safari Web browser, Internet radio, e-mail, iTunes Wi-Fi music store, and YouTube video portal won't mean much at all. While the iPod Touch may not be the slam dunk we were hoping for, it is an unquestionably cool product that continues Apple's legacy of sleek, innovative design.
Product Description

The latest iPod touch now offers a suite of new applications, including email, maps, and handy widgets for weather, notes, and stocks. The new iPod touch also features a customizable home screen that lets you rearrange buttons and create your own Web Clips.

Customer Reviews
Thank you I was very pleased with my experience related to this purchase. The merchandiser was quick to respond to my questions regarding an issue with the merchandise. We were able to address all issues without any problems. Thank you for your help and support on this purchase.
The ultimate in modern PDA's / media players - intuitive user interface! Apple iPod Touch 8GB Review (Firmware 1.1.5) In my quest for a modern Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), I evaluated several models including the HP Ipaq, Asus, and the Palm Zire Z22. I discovered that PDA's are all but extinct in 2008, being as they are rapidly replaced by versatile smart phones such as RIM's Blackberry and its competitors including the Apple iPhone 3G and Nokia/Motorola offerings. I also came across the iPod Touch only because of recommendations made by Apple iPod users. I assumed the iPod Touch was more of a portable media player due to the "iPod" designation, rather than a minicomputer or even a PDA. My generalization was very wrong. I soon discovered the iPod Touch was essentially an iPhone/3G without the phone, digital camera, or Bluetooth systems. The iPod still retained the touch interface, and was actually manufactured in a slightly smaller package. It was capable of playing videos, music, and even browsing the web using the WiFi network adapter. Apple is selling a firmware update for 2.0.x for $9.95 on iTunes, which adds many more features to the iPod. Since my iPod came with 1.1.5, it already met all of my expectations and I did not see the need to pay $10 to use lousy apps at the time. I may upgrade in the future if I see the need, but for now - on to the meat and potatoes of the review. From the exterior, the Touch is slightly larger than a credit card and about as thick as a stack of credit cards (8mm). There are only two mechanical buttons on the outside of the unit. One is to turn the unit off, put it to sleep, or to wake it. The other is the "home" button, labeled with a simplistic square icon. The back of the Touch is polished metal. Many users complain that it gets easily smudged or scratched. I find that it makes it rather attractive and possibly adds some heat abatement capability for the battery during charging. Even though it has a Li-ion battery pack, batteries in general like to be kept cool during operation and charging. I never owned a regular iPod other than the Shuffle, but I was told the Touch uses the same cable as the regular iPod. There is also a 3.5mm stereo jack on the lower right of the Touch. I am amazed at the amount of stuff Apple was able to cram into the tiny Touch. The battery life was not that impressive though. When WiFi is enabled, the battery life drops dramatically especially while being used. Apple claims up to 22 hours of operation for listening to music, and up to 5 hours of operation while watching a video and I tend to agree with this. If you want to maximize battery life, I recommend turning off the WiFi until you need it. The first time you connect the Touch to your computer, it asks you to load up iTunes to register the Touch. The main menu shows 12 icons on the top, and 4 icons on the bottom. They are self-explanatory, but the key features are the Safari web browser, mail, calendar, and settings icons. You can use iTunes to synchronize the contacts list with your Outlook or Gmail contacts. You can also use iTunes to synchronize the calendar with Outlook or iCal. The Touch also allows you to check your Gmail account, Yahoo account, or even set up a custom mailbox. The Google maps and Yahoo Stocks applets also come in handy when you have access to open WiFi. The touch interface is EXTREMELY intuitive and easy to use. The only complaint I have is that I tend to tap the wrong key on the virtual keyboard while trying to input text. A stylus would make it very precise, but I think Steve Jobs wanted an all-inclusive portable minicomputer that did not require external apparatus for inputting data and I feel he accomplished this feat. You can flip the Touch sideways in most modes and it will automatically rotate the screen. The virtual keyboard also becomes wider in this mode. You can set a pass code for unlocking the Touch in the event you want to prevent prying eyes at the office or in your home from viewing your information. The compact size and minimal weight of the Touch makes it extremely portable. I highly recommend it for people who travel a lot, since it is easier to handle through airports and offers the bulk of what you need to maintain contact with the rest of the world: your schedule, email, web access, YouTube, weather, and contacts list. Granted you do not have an optical drive, applications like Microsoft Office or other software you would need to conduct business, it still allows you to communicate with people as long as you are in an open WiFi area. Many hotels, airports, and even municipalities now offer free WiFi access. I visited a contracted work site and was able to request guest access to their WiFi, allowing me to send emails and search for topics on Wikipedia all without having to schlep around a 3-6 lb notebook computer. The video quality, resolution, and speed were astounding. Watching YouTube clips shows how powerful the Touch is, especially for such a small device. Overall, I feel that the Blackberry and similar smart phones will become obsolete in the near future as they are replaced by the iPhone 3G and similar devices that offer superior usability and intuitive user interfaces. The navigation wheel and keyboard on the Blackberry is so 2000s, the iPod Touch and iPhone 3G just blow them away. Pros: Extremely compact, sleek, stylish, easy to carry around especially through airports. Perfect for the traveler, commuter, and office worker. It does the job of a PDA and a small computer when in the vicinity of a WiFi signal; otherwise, it still performs superbly as a PDA especially with its intuitive Touch interface. Cons: Apple wants $10 to upgrade the firmware to 2.0.x, and you may want a $20-$30 travel charger that can charge the iPod through 12 VDC (auto) or 120/240 VAC (home), along with a $10-$30 case. The screen and metal case is easily smudged. The virtual keyboard keys might be too small for people with large fingers, although the widescreen keyboard is easier to use. Battery life is quite impressive but still drops dramatically when being used and with WiFi enabled. Li-Ion chemistry also means the battery itself has maybe 2-3 years tops before you have to replace it. Overall: The ultimate in modern PDAs and is not just a media player. If you want a cellphone, digital camera, and Bluetooth capability, look at getting an iPhone 3G instead. The HP Ipaq and Asus "PDAs" are huge compared to the iPod Touch and I feel the Blackberry is obsoleted by the iPhone 3G. Note: I make comparisons between the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch because they are quite similar in many respects such as the user interface and overall appearance.
Problems Ordered for my son's birthday. The Ipod had several bad pixels. Returned it for a new one. Same problem. Had to send both back.

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.
Video Like most point-and-shoot digital cameras, the SD1100IS offers a video mode. This shoots at up to 30 frames per second. I found the video quality to be good for a digital camera and on par with other Elphs I’ve shot with. The video is shot with audio, which is good quality but not very loud during playback on the camera. I can hear it much better once the video is transferred to my computer. Battery Life This camera takes a proprietary lithium-ion rechargeable battery; the NB4L. The benefit to this type of battery is that it lasts significantly longer than AA alkalines or lithiums. I have been consistently able to shoot over 350 images on one battery charge, even while reviewing the images repeatedly (what can I say? It’s my new toy…). The first fully charged battery I used in the camera lasted me over a month's worth of shooting, despite my review-happy ways. The down side to this type of battery is that you always need one charged on hand. If your battery dies and you have no time to charge it before an event, you can’t run to a pharmacy or grocery store and pick up a pack of Energizers. I always recommend keeping an extra, charged, on hand as a backup. I actually keep three charged spares on hand (I know, I’m crazy). The battery is included with the camera. Spares are available from Canon for $55.00. I purchased three Digipower CN4Ls (their NB4L equivalent) for $39.99 and they last longer than the factory battery. Each battery takes a little over an hour to charge from full discharge. The battery compartment is located at the bottom of the camera and is easy to install and remove. Memory The Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS uses Secure Digital (SD) memory cards. Canon has been consistently using these cards in their cameras for the last few years along with Nikon, Kodak, HP, and Casio. For this reason, and the fact that my Dell Laptop has an SD slot, I prefer this type of memory. I use high speed memory in all of my cameras, allowing me to take full advantage of the camera’s continuous shot speeds. High speed cards often boast the ability to conserve battery life because of faster saving times. Previously, I was using a San Disk Ultra II 2 GB SD Memory Card which was more than sufficient for my needs. Somehow I still felt the need to purchase two new 2 GB high speed SD memory cards. I purchased San Disk Extreme III 2 GB SD Memory Cards and they’ve performed very well. I popped them into my SD600 before selling it and noticed increased performance in that camera as well. Storage capacity varies based on the resolution and compression of the image. The higher the resolution, the higher the image quality is. Compression is making the files smaller to conserve space. Low compression results in less loss of quality in the images. The camera offers six resolution settings and three compression settings for still photos. I always recommend and keep my cameras set to the highest resolution and the lowest compression for the best quality images. At these settings, my 2 GB holds 544 images. This card alone has sufficient capacity for my needs, though I keep two extras on hand in case. There are four video-shooting options to choose from. The 2 GB card holds over 12 minutes of video at the highest quality video setting. Durability Though I won’t test the camera’s durability first hand, it feels moderately durable. It is lighter than my SD 600, but has a metal case and feels like it would survive being tossed around. Canon makes a case to fit the camera exactly; the PSC-1000. I purchased one to protect my camera from any scratches. The case is form-fitting and adds negligible mass and weight to the camera, so it still fits easily into a purse. What’s In The Box? Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS Digital Camera Lithium-Ion Battery NB-4L Battery Charger 32 MB SD Memory Card Wrist Strap CD-ROM USB Cable AV Cable A one-year limited warranty is also included, though I purchased the two-year extended service plan from Dell. Connecting It Connecting the camera to my computer was easy. Simply plug the USB cable in and turn the camera on. The software provided is easy to use, but I preferred to let Windows install its own driver and use my own editing software. Rather than connect the camera, I usually insert my memory card into my laptop or printer to transfer pictures. This also preserves the battery, since the camera need not be powered while pictures are being transferred. Price and Availability The regular retail price of the Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS is $249.99. I was able to get the camera for $212.49, during a special promotion Dell was running. Dell is advertising the camera as being available exclusive to their site, but it appears to be available on other sites as well. The camera was an excellent value for the price I paid. Other Models Considered There were several other models that I considered before making my purchase. For those whom may be considering the same models, I thought I’d offer some perspective into my decision. All of the cameras I considered were Canon models with their Digic III image processor and image stabilization. Having personal experience with the Canon Powershot Elph SD950IS, it was one of the models I strongly considered. My father owns the SD950IS and it’s a great camera. This camera offers 12 megapixels (2 more than the SD1100IS), 3.7X zoom (.7 more than the SD1100IS), and .2 frames per second more continuous shot mode for $110 more. The Canon Powershot Elph SD870IS was another model I considered. This model offers a larger screen (3.0”) and 1X higher optical zoom for $130 more. The camera offers no increase in speed and no optical viewfinder, which is a deal-breaker for me. I wouldn’t pay more money for a camera without one and only a small bump in zoom. The last model I considered is the Canon Powershot Elph SD850IS. This model was only $70 more and offered .8X more optical zoom. There were several reasons I chose the Canon SD1100IS over all of the aforementioned models. One was a simple matter of price. It wasn’t worth $70-$130 jump in price for such small improvements. The SD950IS was the runner up, but the speed difference and slightly extra zoom was not enough to sway me. The other two had even less to offer for the price difference. The SD1100IS was the best value for the money. All three models followed the Elph’s new contoured design, while the Canon SD1100IS has the more boxy design which I both prefer aesthetically and functionally. It’s easier for me to hold. I also liked that the SD1100IS takes the same battery as my last camera (NB-4L as opposed to the NB-5L), allowing me to continue to use the same spares rather than purchasing new ones. I thought the choice of color was a nice feature as well. It makes it easier to identify my camera from others and gives it a little more personality. This seems to be the only Canon camera that is offered in several choices (other than the usual silver and black). Recommendation The Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS is an excellent camera for any point-and-shoot user. This compact camera produces outstanding images with tons of features. This camera works well for those of us who love taking pictures anywhere and everywhere and even as a smaller companion for when more experienced photographers don’t have the energy to lug around a digital SLR.

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.

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.
Picture Quality The picture quality on my Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS can only be described as excellent. I was shocked when side-by-side pictures, taken on the day I received it, revealed this new camera blew my SD600 out of the water. The Digic III processor seems to be a huge improvement in terms of processing color. The colors are much more vibrant, but also extremely accurate. The pictures are consistently sharp and properly exposed. The camera handles every condition well (at least all the ones I have used it in thus far). My low-light images were low in noise. I had a no incidence of red-eye. The auto-focus worked well in every situation. With 8 megapixels, the resolution gives me the ability to zoom in more than I needed to. I was able to zoom so close into a picture of my engagement ring that I could see fabric fibers stuck in a prong that were not visible to the naked eye. I’m not hairy at all, yet the picture made me look like a chimpanzee, with sharp black hairs that were really peach fuzz to my eyes. The resolution is more than enough for my printing needs, allowing for prints up to poster size (which will certainly not be necessary for the hairy finger picture!) I’ll elaborate more about the image quality as I discuss the various features of the camera. Physical Attributes This camera is quite compact, making it ideal for on-the-go shutterbugs. It fits easily into my purse or into a jacket pocket. I keep it with me at all times, allowing me to snap pictures whenever the need arises or the mood strikes me. The camera is a little larger than a standard deck of playing cards. It measures 3.42 inches wide by 2.16 inches in height by 0.87 inches deep. It is slightly larger than my Canon SD 600 was, but not a significant difference. The camera is also very light, weighing only 4.41 ounces. The camera has a very sleek design. It has a box-like shape that’s very comfortable to hold. The buttons are intuitive and well placed. The layout is very similar to that on my previous Elph. The power button and shutter button are on the top of the camera. A switch that surrounds the shutter button controls the zoom. Most of the cameras controls are on the back of the camera. A switch on the top-right of the back of the camera toggles between camera, video, and viewing modes. A circular-shaped button and several surrounding buttons give you control of the various settings, modes, and menus. All of the buttons were large enough to accommodate both my tiny fingers and my fiance’s fingers comfortably. The flash and lens are located on the face of the camera. The lens protrudes about an inch and a half from the front of the camera when active and retracts until flush with the camera when powered off or reviewing pictures for an extended period of time. A 2.5” LCD screen has a place on the back of the camera. I found the screen to be sufficiently large. It is very high quality, with an excellent viewing angle. The screen is very clear and gives an accurate preview of what your pictures will look like on the computer. The screen can be disabled by an adjacent button to preserve battery life. A small viewfinder is located above the screen, allowing the user to view real-time images of what is being captured. I prefer to use this feature in bright sunlight, though I did not notice a problem with viewing the screen in any condition I have used the camera in. I was very impressed since I did encounter a few instances when I couldn’t effectively utilize my SD600’s screen. The screen was prone to fingerprints. I found myself using my lens cleaning cloth on it often. The camera is offered in several colors. I purchased the bohemian brown model of the camera, which is a rich brown color. It is also sold in rhythm & blue, swing silver, pink melody, and golden tone. The color is limited to the face and back of the camera, as the width of the camera is black. Use and Operation If you have ever owned a Canon Elph camera, there will be no learning curve. This camera operates exactly like its predecessors. The controls are quite intuitive and the menus are simple to operate. The camera’s basic functions (taking pictures in auto mode, reviewing pictures, and shooting video) will be very easy for anyone to pick up. The more advanced options may take a little while for new users to familiarize themselves with. The manual is very detailed in explaining every function, providing more than sufficient information for even the most tech-allergic user. My father, whose idea of shutting off a computer is unplugging it, owns an Elph and can use almost every feature. Lens and Zoom The Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS provides a great quality lens. The camera has a 3x optical zoom, which is average for most point and shoot cameras. I would have liked a little more zoom but it works for most of my needs. The image stabilization compensates for the natural unsteadiness in your hand, which can often be a problem when using a zoom. There was a noticeable improvement in the sharpness of the pictures I took fully zoomed with this camera over my SD600, which also boasts a 3x optical zoom. This camera also provides a 4x digital zoom, which I recommend turning off in the main menu. Digital zooms are not actual zooms. They digitally stretch the image, lowering the quality and making them grainy. Keeping this feature off ensures that you won’t accidentally use it and unknowingly lower your picture quality. Flash The flash on this camera has been strong enough for my uses but not so powerful that it washes out the image or sucks the life out of it. I have yet to take one picture with red-eye in it. From what I can tell, the placement looks similar to that of the previous Elph models, yet I have noticed a vast improvement in performance. The flash can reach up to 11 feet with a 10 second or less recycling time. I would say it’s significantly less than that. Several flash modes are available: auto, auto red-eye correction, red-eye reduction, flash off, flash on, FE lock, and slow synchro. I felt “auto” did a good job of gauging when the flash was necessary. The only pictures I took when it went off without being needed were close-ups of a ring. Canon does offer an external flash for the camera, but I cannot imagine needing it. Lag I have noticed no lag time between pressing the shutter button and the picture being taken. The flash fires rapidly and it shoots faster than my previous camera.

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.

noangels's Full Review: Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS / IXUS 80 IS Digital Cam...
Okay, I'll admit the title is a bit dramatic… But it's accurate. I absolutely loved my last camera and couldn't imagine parting with. I finally decided to take the plunge and I couldn’t be happier with my Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS. Why I Upgraded My Canon Powershot Elph SD 600 served me well for the last two years. The camera always provided great picture quality and plenty of features to keep me busy. I enjoy taking pictures, which compliments one of my other hobbies; scrapbooking. My decision to upgrade came about at a Star Trek Convention. I was trying to take a picture of an actor (Patrick Stewart) on stage from the sixth row. Shooting with a flash resulted in a dark picture. Shooting without a flash produced a blurry picture. I didn’t have a tripod with me and wouldn’t have had room for one even if I had remembered it. I managed to get a few decent shots and went home planning to look into cameras with image stabilization. I had been so happy with my Elph that I knew I wanted to stay within that line. The Canon Elphs feature Canon’s Digic processors, which are excellent processors. Since the processor plays an important role in image quality, it was top priority for me. I looked into several cameras and decided to purchase the Canon Powershot Elph SD1100IS. This camera was an upgrade in several respects. It had the newer generation Digic processor, Digic III. It also offered a 2 megapixel upgrade and the image stabilization. It was a downgrade in speed, shooting at only 1.3 frames per second instead of my SD600’s 2.3 frames per second. With a digital SLR purchase planned in the near future, however, I decided it wasn’t an issue for me.
