Effortless shooting- superb results
The effortless PowerShot A1100 IS offers two simple shooting modes. Smart Auto mode allows the camera to intelligently select the appropriate settings so you can concentrate on your subject. Advanced Scene Detection Technology automatically analyses shooting conditions then selects the one that offers the perfect settings from 18 specially defined scenes. So whether you're photographing flowers, a captivating sunset or friends in the park you can be confident you're getting the perfect image. In Easy Mode the camera automatically selects all the camera settings deactivating all buttons except those used for shooting - ideal for beginners or children.
Get closer to the action
The 4x zoom allows for a wide range of framing options and lets you get up close and personal with faraway objects. Camera shake can be an issue with zoom lenses but Canon's market-leading Optical Image Stabilisation makes sure that you can capture steady shots throughout the zoom range.
Face Detection locates faces in shot and
automatically adjusts for natural skin tones.

Fast, intelligent processing even in tricky lighting conditions
Canon's most advanced image processor, DIGIC 4, lies at the heart of every Canon digital camera and delivers exceptional processing speeds, responsive operation and advanced noise reduction. It also makes possible intelligent Face and Motion Detection technologies, which find and track moving subjects until you're ready to shoot, adjusting the camera settings for optimal results. Advanced Noise reduction ensures richly detailed clean images even at high ISO speeds.
With Face Detection up to 35 faces can be detected in each shot and focus, exposure, flash setting and white balance are all automatically adjusted for optimal results with natural-looking skin tones. Face Select & Track allows a single face in a crowd to e selected and tracked alas the main subject while a Face Detection Self-Timer also makes group photos and self-portraits easy. Once the shot has been set up, the camera records the number of faces detected in the frame when the shutter is depressed and the self timer started; it then waits for an extra face to get in the frame and adjusts focus and exposure before it takes the picture.
Motion Detection technology uses changes in scene information and scene brightness to accurately identify subject motion. The optimal ISO level is then set automatically to minimise blur and maximise image quality
Automatic Red-eye Correction is available in both shooting and playback mode and accurately removes the red-eye effect caused by flash.

Rich razor-sharp images - every time
The lens is the most important part of any imaging device and all Canon cameras incorporate lenses designed and manufactured by Canon - lenses based on over 60 years of experience for outstanding results. Canon's market-leading Optical Image Stabiliser is a lens-shift system that automatically detects and corrects camera shake, whilst ensuring outstanding image quality. It allows handheld shooting at longer focal lengths and in lower light conditions without blur, giving you steady, crisp, brilliant images you'll be proud to shoot and share. Developed initially for Canon's EOS Digital SLR cameras it is the fastest in-lens image stabiliser available on the market and ensures the PowerShot range has a top quality pedigree.
Meanwhile a resolution of 12.1 Megapixels allows you to capture every scene in rich detail, ensuring oversize prints - even of cropped pictures - retain high image quality.
A bright 2.5 inch LCD allows easy and crisp viewing of images and video.
My Colors mode makes your images jump
out with really vivid bright colours.

Customise and correct colour as you shoot
My Colors Mode lets you customise colour reproduction before shooting and correct individual colours on the LCD screen as you're shooting. My Colors offer you many options, such as 'Positive Film' which makes all the reds, greens and blues really vivid; Lighter and Darker Skin tones; 'Colour Accent' that allows you to retain a single colour in your image whilst the other colours turn monochrome and even a 'Colour Swap' where you can select one colour and replace it with another colour you specify for special effects. Since they work with both still images and movies, these modes let you enjoy producing various image or movie effects.

Quality-wise, the 12Meg brings up the expected highly detailed image and testing the macro on a honey bee (yes, we actually saw one!) as it harvested from our Clematis - was stunning. The miserly 128Mb SD card (Proudly bearing the Canon logo!) soon filled up - but not before the two Duracell batteries had flattened!
Forum surfing found this needed the investment of rechargable NiMH 2850 batteries. Four bought and charged up - the first two inserted - are still powering the camera after days and many frames and video clips. Impressive. The battery housing needs a bit of skill in accurately positioning before sliding to engage the batteries properly - get it wrong and you'll have nothing working!
The investment of a 16Gb SD card from Hong Kong and the NiMH with power charger added about 30.00 to make this a totally sweet performer. Quite WHY Canon messed up by not equiping this camera at a small extra cost - is a mystery. It also probably explains the 130.00 price drop?
Would have been nice had it come in a carry case buy you can always buy one of these.
There is a great range of shooting modes from full auto, full manual, to snow shot, outdoor, indoor ,portrait etc.
Full range of overrides is possible including spot meter, centre metering, o/a average etc.
Also has optical and electronic zoom. Pictures are genearlly of very high quality if you use the prefocus feature as it is intended.
The instructions are comprehensive but need to be studied to get the best out of the camera, but gives completely satisfactory results on auto.
Also has optical viewfinder and fair size LCD display so very versatile in bright light conditions.
I'm using disposable lithium batteries ( available on amazon)which although a bit more expensive give great longevity
and enough life for hundreds of shots. I'd rather pay a bit more than be eternally changing rechargables, which always seem to run out on that important shot.
The real boon with this camera however is how good the video camera feature is. Put in a 16 or 32 GD SD card and you'll be able to
shoot hours of low res or standard quality movies with high quality stereo sound. Quality of pictures is very good through media player and still fine on DVD. I have a good Panasonic HD video camera already but the Canon is so small you always tend to have it with you. Each shot produces a separate avi file so they need to be stitched together into scenes afterwards or you get little pauses in a DVD but there are plenty of free downloads to do this. I then use windows 7 DVD maker to produce standard qualiy DVD movies. The only slight downside to all this is that avi files are quite large and for some reason the cine feature won't allow dynamic optical zooming only virtual zooming which causes some degradation of quality. Hasn't really been a major problem but if there is one major point of improvement ,it would be optical zooming 'allowed'. Another small thing to watch is the mini USB cover which is a bit fragile and fiddly to get on and off. First try I thought I'd broken it but just as I started cursing it slid back into place again. Just needs a bit of care and practice.
If you want to see some results of still photography with this camera put 'Scilly Isles Sailing' into the You-Tube search engine and look for the video of the same title under my name.
Bottom line - a definite 'Glad I bought it'. Highly recommended.
Peter Taylor
If you get this camera and want a case to go with it I can recommend the Canon DCC-85. It's purpose made for the PowerShot and the A1100 IS is a perfect fit. It's got a small pocket on the front which will take a spare set of batteries and memory cards, together with removeable shoulder strap and belt loop. It's not the cheapest camera case, at around £14, but it's good quality, compact and offers good protection.
