Review: Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS digital camera

By Ginny Mies

For the price, the SD1200 packs in the right amount of features for casual photographers. More-experienced photographers will be pleased with the image quality, but the lack of aperture and shutter priority, plus the limited zoom range, may leave them ...

Compact, slim design; good image quality in automatic mode

Image quality suffers above ISO 200; viewfinder is too small to actually use

The SD1200 IS received a Very Good rating in our lab's jury tests for imaging quality, earning particularly high marks in terms of lack of distortion, color accuracy, and overall exposure quality

Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS Review

By Whitney Downing

Small and sleek ; Many color options ; Great Autofocus performance ; Good megapixel-to-CCD 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

This digital ELPH camera comes in a variety of colors for the fashion-savvy, and has plenty of options available for the serious shutterbug. While it is a relatively simple camera when compared to a DSLR, the unit is well-equipped to handle everyday ...
