Summary: 5 Stars
This camera, the Canon PowerShot A1100IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD (Silver) takes great pictures! And it's completely effortless. The 12.1 MP and 4x optical zoom PLUS optical image stabilizer is perfect if you have a shaky hand (as I do) and like to take candid shots without a tripod. And I love that this camera has "face detection" that can also be used WITH the self-timer so it waits for YOU to get in the picture before it focuses. Smart!
The details are SO good I can print out large prints or make detailed images for my computer's desktop/display. NO pixels, very crisp.
I have a wide-format printer (Canon Pixma Pro9000 Professional Large Format Inkjet Printer (9995A001)) and these look great at even the full size - 13 x 19 inches. Close-ups or distant shots come out equally sharp. I typically take a lot of shots of my kids close up and also beautiful landscapes when we go camping.
I recently returned from such a trip and shared my photos on Facebook with another mom who had been there with us, who was using a professional camera like this: Nikon D90 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED AF-S VR DX Nikkor Zoom Lens - you know the kind with exchangeable lenses. Our shots are virtually indistinguishable. What more can you ask for!? She remarked at how good they are and even made one of them her new profile picture!
In the past using my old camera, before my photos were "perfect" I would have to upload them to the computer and "FIX" them using photo retouching software - to make adjustments to brightness, contrast, shadows, highlights, temperature, tone, etc. NOW when try to do this using "Auto Adjust" NOTHING needs fixing! The pictures already have natural skin tones and backgrounds are bright enough.
Another crazy good thing - anyone who's tried taking pictures of small kids knows how much they jump around when you're trying to get that perfect candid shot...OR if there's 2 in the picture and 1 more says "HEY ME TOO!" and jumps in before you hit the button, this camera automatically UPDATES for this new kid/increase in the number of faces. SO the stress is gone! There's no need to rush everyone to get in the picture because it just KNOWS when a new face pops in. Even when my kids are moving and rearranging it adjusts for the perfect shot without my having to refocus.
I don't see how you could come up with any more features at this price. It's just the perfect camera. Not too heavy or bulky either, fits right in my pocket. Crazy! And since I don't really take the time to adjust my ISO settings, I typically just use AUTO and it's perfect every time. Brilliant!
