 Blurry and overexposed March 14, 2010
IzzyChelle (Colorado Springs, CO USA)
We got this camera for my daughter for Christmas after my fater-in-law raveda about his SD1000. I cannot figure out how this camera has so many great reviews?! Are their expectations THIS low? We have a 9 year old inexpensive point and shoot that takes better photos! If everything is perfectly still and there is excellent lighting, this camera will take a decent photo. But I'd guess 90% (or more.. it's rare for us to get one that's not) of our photos of people are blurry. And the flash is worthless. It WAY overexposes pale skin tones. I'll upload some of our average photos with this camera later. I expected much better picutre qualit for one hundred seventy dollars. Our camera phones take better pictures. For what it's worth, we don't use auto mode as per other reviews, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. We did go to the store to look at this camera before we purchased and it handles well and pictures seem good looking at the lcd. But when you get them off the camera, they suck. I really enjoy photography and thought maybe my daughter could join me, but it's fairly pointless with this camera. :( I won't ever buy another canon camera and will encourage anyone thinking about it to borrow this one before they decide if canon is the brand for them.
 BLURRRRRRRRRRY PICTURES....... March 14, 2010

I HAD a Nikon Coolpix before this, and was pretty happy with it (has a much easier rocker-panel type zoom, rather than the ring around the shutter button that this one has!), but the lens, after a very minor trauma, broke (wouldn't retract). So, after hearing that this had happened fairly frequently with other Coolpix cameras, I decided to try a Canon. WHAT A MISTAKE!!!!!!! I take A LOT of pictures of my very active 19-month-old daughter, and a good MAJORITY of these pictures are BLURRY, even when taken in good lighting and using the autofocus feature!! SUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!!!!! I took about 20 pictures this morning, and I would say that about 12-14 (I didn't count) will have to be deleted due to blurriness! SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!!! I mean, she doesn't move at lightning speed, and in some of them was BARELY moving!! I looked for ways to change the settings (shutter speed), but found NOTHING!! SO, I am VERY disappointed with this stupid camera, and am looking FORWARD to breaking it so I can go and buy another NIKON COOLPIX, which, except for the lens issue (breaking with minor trauma), took great pictures, MOST of which WEREN'T blurry!!!!!!!!!!

I purchased this Cannon SD1200IS for my daughter to give to her friend and he loves it. Everything is great, even the size, which I was worried about because his hands are large.
fits in the pocket and shoots great photos and video March 11, 2010

This camera takes great pictures and is very easy to use. Battery life is great...just went to Egypt and was able to take 3 days worth of pictures before having to charge the battery...and the battery wasn't even dead at that point.
One thing I wish this camera had that other Cannon's have is the Vivid Color feature. I love the effect of making the whole picture black and white and just having one color stand out.
Otherwise, I have no complaints and I LOVE the green color!
