Customer Review: An exceptional camera for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera is a replacement for my wife's older digital camera for carrying in her purse or pocket. She still wanted it compact with the convenience of using easily available AA batteries. The camera that this Canon A1100 IS replaced was only three years old but it had a typical problem of unacceptable shutter lag. This Canon is quite adequate in regards to it having very short first and succeeding shot delays.
'Regarding battery life.' Two AA batteries are not going to give you as many photo shots as rechargeable dedicated batteries. You should not have any problem as long as you are aware of this and keep spare batteries available. For longer battery life you can turn off the LCD display when you are in brighter areas and use the viewfinder We have been able to exceed well over one hundred shots even with the LCD display on one set of AAs. This included reviewing, erasing, and editing photos
'Optical viewfinder.' In some of the reviews there was some complaints regarding the size and accuracy of the viewfinder. At least this camera has one. It is getting rare to find point and shoot digital cameras with one. It is a matter of squeezing in a larger LCD display with the more compact cameras with little or no room for a viewfinder. There are times I still like a viewfinder for quick shots.
'The macro mode' This is excellent on this camera. I took some photos well within two inches of the subject with excellent results.
'The owner's manual.' The supplied CD user guide is one of the better ones I have seen. I think it is well written, particulary for people that are less familiar with digital cameras. I would still suggest making a print out of the manual for convenience. The printed 'quick start guide' is the best I have ever seen.
We have several digital cameras that range from ultra compacts to DSLRs. This is one camera that I suspect we will use often. All in all this is a fun to use little camera. My only regret is that instead of getting the green we should have gotten the pink one 'and' a blue one.
