Cons)

Prefers to overexpose / lose highlight details on default settings (can be fixed with exposure compensation)

Small and sleek, Many color options, Great Autofocus performance, Good megapixeltoCCD range, ISO settings perform well,
Still has an optical viewfinder, sacrificing space, Mode picking is hard to find within interface, LCD screen does not repel scratches and smudges as advertised, Magnified images show graininess and noise,
At a price of $230, this camera is definitely worth considering for all of the features it comes with. It is a reasonably priced point-and-shoot that gives the photographer plenty of options.BUY the PowerShot SD1200 IS Dark Gray Digital CameraDell Home...

Behold! It has an optical viewfinder!, Good incamera photo editing options, An abundance of automatic settings
May be too small for those with large hands, Virtually no manual controls, Pink color is too lurid (though there are other options)
The PowerShot SD1200 IS is a small, cute camera aimed squarely at the point-and-shoot crowd; those looking for more manual control will be unhappy with the camera, unless the fact that its available in hot pink makes up for its other shortcomings. ...
Small, image stabilised lens, good depth of field when shooting in macro mode
