Ok, I read 1,000's of reviews, looked at every video review and tested tons of cameras out. In my mind and what most Best Buy people will tell you is that Canon's are it for digital cameras. I bought the Canon Powershot 1200IS, and it took horrible pictures - not crisp at all. I have a 1 year old who runs around like crazy and this camera does such a good job! It looks nice, the size is great, the price is great and I could not ask for more! I thought it would be impossible to get a good camera that wasn't a slr for a decent price. This is the best out there - don't waste hours and hours looking on the internet, I'm saving you your time: get this one!!! Or atleast buy it from somewhere where you have the option to return it, I gaurantee you wont!

I was looking for a digital camera to take with me on my trip to Australia. Being a trip of a lifetime, I wanted to make sure I returned with amazing pictures and video that helped me remember and share my experience. I shopped online and in stores comparing prices and brands. This camera provides easy use with great results at an affordable price. There are many functions to choose from allowing for optimal performance. It is compact and easy to become accustomed with. The larger lcd screen was helpful when capturing and reviewing pictures. The video function picks up sound well, but you cannot zoom while filming. The settings can be manually configured to be adjusted to your preferences, but there is also a function for easy shooting. Battery life was sustainable and allowed for full days of picture taking. Viewing pictures as a slide show on the camera is great, because it plays music along with it, and you can add your own music to add a personal touch. I was able to capture images quickly with the fast response time of the shutter. Overall, I was completely satisfied with this product and would recommend it to someone shopping for a decent digital camera, but isn't quite ready for a SLR. The pictures turned out great!

I have tried Sony W290, Canon SD 790 and SD 1200, this is the best camera of all. Beautiful and vivid pictures, time to start up is very fast. in burst mode, you can take several pictures, and I mean it's take very fast, I love this. compare with W290, W230 is better and it's cheaper. I have both, but I have returned the W290 to Dell.
For performance, I give it 4 stars, but the price is better than W290 so I give it 5 Stars!
Excellent device for the price.
I highly recommend it.

Not A Bad Camera But Probably Not Worth It
This camera works just fine as compared to most other ones we have used in the price range. Like many of them the shutter speed is kind of slow at times and the red eye filter... Read more

I know how manufacturers typically build "newer" models of these throw away devices. I think they poured a lot of time and effort into changing that in these models. Read more

Its a simple but nice camera
The pictures are nice. The camera is easy to use. It's definitely not designed for the professional photographer. But for us mere mortals, it will get the job done nicely.
