  • Fast. Superb image quality. 4x optical zoom.
  • Bulky. Low-resolution screen.
  • The Canon PowerShot A1100 IS is a fine budget shooter, but its virtually identical to its predecessor, the A1000, which you can buy for at least $50 less....

  • Viewfinder; simple operation; inexpensive; excellent photo quality for the money.
  • Mixed performance; short battery life.
  • Aside from a couple performance quibbles, the Canon PowerShot A1100 IS provides a good point-and-shoot experience with great pictures as a result.

  • Sturdy; simple interface; good feature set; very good image quality; good performance at high ISO settings.
  • Mediocre LCD screen; optical viewfinder shows only 85 percent of the scene.
  • You get a lot for $200 when buying a camera these days. The PowerShot A1100 IS provides a very good price/performance ratio, and it’s even available in four fashionable colors (blue, green, grey, and pink). If you’re looking for a good entry-l...

  • The Canon PowerShot A1100 IS can be simply put as a 12 megapixel update to the old A1000 with a new processor and a few small changes. It has the same 4X optical zoom lens, 2.5 inch LCD and for most part, functions and features. The A1100 IS comes in ...

  • At first glance the new Canon Powershot A1100 IS looks very similar to its bigger brother, the A2100. I reviewed both cameras at the same time and actually preferred the slightly cheaper A1100 model in many ways. Although offering a smaller, lower-res...

  • Decent overall image quality. Great menu system. ...
  • Inconsistent low light performance. Limited manual controls. ...
  • For a pair of Benjamins, the Canon PowerShot A1100 IS offers a well-rounded arsenal of image control features while serving up a large helping of basic shooting options and functionality. There are two separate Auto modes and a gaggle of Scene modes ...

  • Sleek shape and design, Buttons are wellpositioned and easy to access, Auto and Easy mode are good for beginners, Optical image stabilization, Lots of scene modes and selftimer settings, Optical viewfinder is good to have on a sunny day.
  • The rightside grip isnt perfect, Doesnt use rechargeable battery pack, 4x zoom doesnt give you much magnification, Not many manual control options, Flash often ends up concealed by wary fingers, Movie mode offers mediocre video quality.
  • The Canon A1100 IS ($199) is a simple camera that is designed for people who love using automatic settings and scene modes. Dont go out and purchase it if youre hoping to play around with depth of field or mess with funky shutter speed...

  • If you are on the lookout for an everyday camera, you cannot go wrong with the PowerShot A1100 IS. In its price range, it offers the best performance, be it outdoor shots or indoor under lowlight. Video mode is a plus point and so is the macro mode th...
