Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital ELPH Digital Camera

(4 out of 5)

A capable and stylish point-and-shoot camera.

Review date: Apr 30, 2008

The Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital ELPH is a competent ultra-compact camera that is a worthy follow-up to its predecessor, the SD1000. It offers a sleek design, optical image stabilization, snappy performance, and good photo quality. And, with a street price of around $230, you can cash in that "stimulus package" check and have money leftover for a tank of gas. While it's not perfect, the SD1100's positives easily outweigh its negatives, and it's a camera I can recommend without hesitation.

Pros	Cons
Very good photo quality (in good light) Stylish, ultra-compact metal body Optical image stabilization Snappy performance Sharp 2.5" LCD has good outdoor and low light visibility Optical viewfinder (a rarity these days) Redeye not a problem Well-implemented face detection feature VGA movie mode with sound Support for underwater case	Noisy images in low light Some NR artifacting at low ISOs in good light Corner blurriness and purple fringing an issue Zoom setting not shown on LCD Flash a little slow to charge More manual controls would be nice Flimsy door over memory card/battery compartment Can't swap memory cards while using a tripod
