Perfect point and shoot with SLR options
I was looking for a camera to use when out hiking, camping, running, x-country motorcycling, and other outdoor activities where we need high speed focus and image capture. The lack of optical zoom is made up for by the high quality pictures. The panoramic is awesome, we take a lot of landscape pictures and that function is really handy, although it is just knocking off the top and bottom rows, the formatting on the screen is more help-full then cropping it yourself. I do recommend the bigger memory card, this camera has no limit to the video other then the card itself. When put into the specific modes, the difference is apparent right away on the large lcd screen (no viewfinder). Custom settings are... very technical. I love it, would recommend it to anyone who does not want to mess around with changing lenses.

Excellent camera
Very happy with the camera. Actually zooms to around 9x but image best at x4. Very small, light, well built and takes excellent images. I haven't even opened the manual yet but managed to charge the battery, install the memory (bought an additional 4Gb card as the 32Mb card is a little limited), took photos and downloaded them all to my PC. Very easy to operate, intuitive to use.

Awesome!
Couldn't be better. - I am fully satisfied with the overall performance of this camera. Wide angle, Image stabilizer, User interface, Speed, 3" LCD, Design... I can't find any weakness. Best ever!

Best buy for the price!
We lost our really high end camera and were at a loss to replace it for a reasonable price. This camera fit the bill pricewise, and it has fulfilled more than we had hoped. The size is excellent, the viewscreen is perfect, the quality of pictures is spectacular, the zoom is very handy, it lasts quite a while on one set of batteries though when they start getting low you may lose the date. All in all I would say this is the best camera to get for a daily use camera for family shots and other fun things.

Great Portable Camera
We purchased this camera as an anniversary present and to give us more mobility when out and about with pictures. We have a Canon 30D DSLR and LOVE Canon products, but it was a little cumbersome to bring along. We took this on a trip to Disneyland and LOVED how portable it was.
Takes great pictures, is fast and responsive (for a compact, not as fast as a DSLR), the screen is bright, and videos are surprisingly good. No complaints. For the price we paid ($144 on a gold box special) this was a GREAT buy.

Excellent product!!
Really good product! I would recommend this camera to anybody who wants a high quality camera at a reasonable price. I like the optical viewfinder which is very helpful when you film outdoor, under bright sunshine. Amazon service is awesome too.

Really Great Camera!!
I purchased this camera to replace my older Canon, which was starting to show signs of old age. I was thrilled with this PowerShot...it takes FANTASTIC pictures. I use it sometimes to photograph my ceramic art and it honestly made one of the bowls look better than it actually does in person! It is very easy to use...easy transition from sepia/black and white/color - unlike previous versions. It has been a wonderful camera and I will most definitely get my use out of it!

Canon Review
Great camera. Takes great pictures and is easy to operate. It has just enough options to take good pictures, but is easy for a novice to use. Would recommend this camera for someone who likes taking pictures and has a little bit of experience with utlizing the different options.

Best camera I ever have so far.
I had this camera for less than a month, and loving it. Pros: Very compact,can fit in your shirt pocket Battery life is good. It only takes 1 and 1/2 hour to charge Takes crisp pictures (I use 3.1mp to 8mp settings) With 8GB sdhc card, I can take videos with sound at high def (680i) quality!! Cons: It takes 2-3seconds to actually take a shot after you press the shoot button so you miss some spontaneous moments. Overall impression: Very happy with my purchase.

BEST COMPACT CAMERA
After reading reviews and shopping, I purchased the Canon SD1100IS. The camera is everything all the 5 star reviews said. The only thing that is a change for me is getting used to the zoom control. It is different than all the rocker switch controls that I am used to and is mounted on the top of the camera. I would redesign this control. Otherwise, this is a great little camera that I would recommend for anyone to take with them wherever they go.
