About digital camera
review on canon powershot a1100is. I like the picture quality, which is excellent for this point and shoot class camera. The first test of this camera was taking pictures of flowers (delia) at the Golden Gate Park in San Fancisco, including a sunny day and a cloudy day. For both days, almost all pictures are in focus. Flowers, leaves, and, yes, even honey bees all look so lively, sharp, and excellent color reproduction. I would highly recomment this camera to anyone who is looking for one in the point and shoot class.
Almost perfect. Nice camera. Cannon is always good. I just did not like the type of battery.
Canon PowerShot A1100IS Very Disappointing. I had high hopes for this compact digital camera after reading the positive reviews…..I should have paid more attention to the bad reviews. On it’s first real test, which was outside on hot day, it practically inhaled batteries. (it takes 2 AA’s and this day I used 6 batteries over a 4 hour period) The zoom control stopped working, but worked later when the camera cooled off….the camera repeatedly shut itself off…..
Now for the picture quality….not bad until you enlarge the image. When the images are upsized to 100%, they take on a grainy, diffused, soft focus effect that is paricularly noticeable on the subject’s edges……no thanks.
In general the camera has a weak, low quality feel and performance to match. I own several digital cameras and thought it would be nice to have a high megapixel (12.1) super compact…..this camera is more like a toy……I sent it back, and will put the $$ toward something that will deliver what it promises.
