The Canon SD1200 IS Digital ELPH 10.0 Megapixel camera was purchased as a gift for my wife. She had been using a very basic point and shoot digital camera. This camera was purchased as a step up from that type. While the Canon camera can be operated in an automatic mode the operator can choose from the many different features available in a type of manual configuration. The combined optical / digital zoom that can be used together to give a factor of 12 ( 3 x 4 ) or independently of each other was something the wife found very pleasing. The fact that it can be purchased in pink also made it an excellent Valentines Day present.
I needed a camera that could take good close-up photos with detail and thought this one would work for me. The focus adjustment for close ups is a bit tricky and the booklet didn't give me much information, as a matter in fact it was in spanish of which it is a good thing I can read. I also download photos and the a/v out is fragile that I think it's going to break off. I do love the camera though and the photos are so clear and the image stabilizer is great. It's so small and compact and easy to carry. I'm not sorry I bought it.
The camera is lightweight and easy to work, even without instructions. The automatic setting gives realistic photos with great lighting. Disabling the flash usually gives better, more realistic photos, except in more than light darkness. In almost all lighting, this is the best automatic camera I've owned so far. The only cons at this point are the fact that it doesn't have built in GPS locating (which is only in high end cameras as far as I know--which costs lots more) and that I can't take photos in more than moderate darkness without white flakes showing up in the photo.
Good reliable 10 M-pixel easy to used camera with nice features. I did buy this camera as a gift for a freind, since I already have a canon ( diferent model ) I recomended. I wish the screen would be 3" standard in all canon cameras other than that this camera take very good pictures for a point & shoot camera
This camera I think is much better than the newer 1300 and 1400 model as the auto focus to me works alot better. Its excellent for someone just wanting a small instant camera that takes great pics but with limited flash. As with small, the controls are harder for a man to use with bigger fingers and the flash on any of these smaller camera's limits you to a small area. Overall its a great unit for the money.
