Canon PowerShot A1100 IS

 

The Canon PowerShot A1100 is a solid shooter, but it's practically identical to last year's model.

Fast. Superb image quality. 4x optical zoom.

Bulky. Low-resolution screen.

Canon PowerShot A1100 IS review: Canon PowerShot A1100 IS

 

Canon PowerShot A1100 IS

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.

Canon PowerShot A1100 IS Point-and-Shoot Review

 

Very good image quality ; Sturdy design with simple interface

Mediocre LCD screen ; Optical viewfinder shows 85% of scene

A great value for the price, with better image quality than more expensive cameras and a nice feature set.

Canon PowerShot A1100 IS Review

 

The Canon PowerShot A1100 IS is a brand new member of the popular PowerShot A-series range of compact digital cameras, which has traditionally offered a compelling combination of features and affordable price. The A1100 IS replaces the PowerShot A1000...

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,...

Review: Canon PowerShot A1100 IS digital camera

 

Canon's PowerShot A1100 IS provides a very good price/performance ratio, and it's even available in four fashionable colors. If you're looking for a good entry-level camera, you should consider the A1100.

The A1100 sports a plastic body that is well made, with no creaks or moving seams. The right side bulges a bit to create a hand grip, and the camera’s 4x zoom lens retracts to be fairly flush with the camera’s body. At 3.7 by 2.5 by 1.2 inches, the...

Canon PowerShot A1100 review

 

A fully featured compact camera with a disappointing screen

Old-school viewfinder ; Nice pictures ; Digic4 processor

Price ; Poor LCD screen

With a few more features than some of it's brethren, the A480 is a fully featured compact that is unfortunately a bit too pricey to recommend
