THE right CAMERA for ME?

Question

I have done so much research my brain hurts! There are WAY too many different cameras out there! I think I have settled on the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS DIGITAL ELPH. I really don't want to spend too much over $200. I want an ultra compact with great optical zoom and optical image stabilization. Face detection is also a plus. I just want to be able to take spur of the moment shots without having to mess with different settings for the perfect image. Oh and Next Shot delay/Shutter Lag is important too. Do you think I'm making the best choice in camera? or is there another one out there that you know of that would be better?

Answer 1

Well, it doesn't have any manual controls, but that doesn't seem to be important to you.  It doesn't have a very long zoom, but if you are going to take mostly pictures of your friends, and not wildlife that is far off, it should be perfect.  And one good thing, it has a viewfinder which you will find to be very valuable when you are out in bright sunlight, as sunlight washes out the display. So you will be able to use the viewfinder to take the pictures.  It looks like it will be a good camera for what you want to do  You can't go wrong with a Canon!  I've had one for over 2 years and have never had a problem with it.  

Just be sure you use the wrist strap every time you use it, and also buy a small case to keep it in.      Have fun!

I love my Kodak Easyshare 710,  it has quick set, face detection, super optical and digital zoom and all the extra settings you need to take your photography to the next level when your ready.

I uploaded a few pics so you could see the picture quality plus, I added a panoramic shot...the camera allows you to take up to 3 overlapping pics and stitches them together to make one panoramic shot.  I also included 2 indoor pics.  Hope this helps.
