subject: Canon A1100 Powershot Reviews - How They Stack Up Against My Experience Of The A1100 [print this page] I read a number of Canon Powershot A1100 reviews prior to buying my particular camera, and now that I have some actual experience of using the A1100, I'd have to say that overall the reviews were pretty accurate. The Canon Powershot A1100 is very well made and has a feature set that places it comfortably beside much more expensive cameras. For my money, this compact camera takes some of the best pictures going.
One of the features that all of the Canon Powershot A1100 reviews picked up on was its 12 Megapixel resolution - which is a particularly good resolution for a camera in this price range. The camera has an LCD for easy viewing but also has an optical viewfinder, a feature that you'll be hard pressed to find on cameras in the same price range.
A really nice feature on the Canon Powershot A1100 is that it offers a menu with 10 shooting options. This offers you plenty of picture-taking options no matter what your photography skill level. In addition to taking still photos, you also have the ability to shoot short movies. The point and shoot technology is great for beginners because you can simply take pictures. The A1100 reviews I read made particular note of the automatic scene recognition and advanced auto face-detect features and how they'd help me take perfect pictures every time. It's only early days as far as my experience of the A1100 is concerned, but thus far my experience is matching up with the picture that was painted in the reviews.
The A1100 Powershot's compact size was another oft cited attribute of the camera, and I have to say that having a camera that fits snugly in your jacket or pants pocket is a plus in my books. It's also very light and easy to hold.
If you want good picture quality at an affordable price then the Canon Powershot A1100 offers just that. The picture quality of Canon cameras has always reliable, and the Powershot series hasn't bucked the trend. The camera is compact but still well built and easy to hold. The case is molded for easy handling and comes in a variety of colors.
Both the Canon Powershot A1100 reviews I read and my own personal experience have led me to believe that both the quality and features of this camera are excellent. If you're seeking a camera that is reliable, takes quality pictures and has plenty of features to pay with, you'll be more than satisfied with the Canon Powershot A1100 camera.
