4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT CAMERA FOR THE PRICE, March 4, 2010

Like a few other people I have more expensive cameras and agree that sometimes you want QUICK & EASY and this camera gives you that. This A1100is is definitely an improvement over the camera we replaced(samsung 630). When looking for a replacement the NO.1 feature was a FASTER reaction time to take those pictures (MAKES IT EASIER TO GET THOSE PICTURES OF THE GRANDKIDS ). Its not as fast as a SLR but it cost is 25% of the SLR's and in my opinion the SPEED TO PRICE is GOOD. I am also impressed with the MOVIE function. I recently bought a HD FLIP camera for my daughter and the A1100is video blows the FLIP away in picture quality and zoom (MAKE SURE YOU GET 4GIG OR 8GIG CARDS IF YOUR GOING TO DO VIDEO)

OVER ALL I REALLY LIKE THIS CAMERA! ESPECIALLY FOR $129.00,HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG?,

The only reason I don't give it 5 STARS is the picture gets grainy fast the higher you go past the 4x zoom.

IN SUMMARY:

LOVE THE CAMERA, MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS USE THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES 2200mh (2450-2500mh is better). I LIKE THE ENERGIZER 15min CHARGER. I THINK THIS WILL SOLVE MOST OF YOUR POWER AND TIMING PROBLEMS.

ENJOY JAK

P.S. This camera does have a continuous mode plus alot of other setting to satisfy an amature photographer, you just have to read the manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars canon a1100is - out of production; too bad. Worth looking for., May 16, 2010

I haven't used the camera enough to really say much about it. It does offer a lot of features for the low, low price. Lens quality is good, would like more zoom, which I could have gotten in the XS120 series for not too much more,but I chose the 1100 because the picture quality, according to Steve's Digicams review, is superior in that chromatic abberation is not a problem as with longer zooms.

There are plenty of options for using special settings; haven't experimented with these yet, just using the camera's own program setting. The face recognition and image stabilization features work really well.

Unfortunately, Canon has dropped this camera from production and it's hard to find. I don't know what camera replaces it.

Great camera for the price. It is easy to use and takes great pictures and videos. It uses 2 AA batteries. I use Duracell NiMH rechargeable batteries and they have lasted me all day without a problem (much better than the non rechargeable batteries that came with the camera, but nice to have the option to use non rechargeable if you are in a pinch).
