User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great camera
The camera is easy to use with lots of great features and settings. Admittedly it sometimes feels too small, but that’s just a personal thing. The pictures that come out are very nice.

5 Stars great quality of pictures, easy to use
Pros: picture quality is good; macro is very nice for a compact camera; Auto mode is good enough is most case; compact size

Cons: when change mode, need to hit display key to find more mode options. However, I found it ok as I don’t use the other modes that often.

I’ve taken about 500 pictures and need to change the battery twice. Not sure how’s the battery life in about a year.

1 Star Horrible product
We bought this camera as a replacement for an older Canon Powershot the day before going on a trip. ALL the pictures came out blurry…really, really disappointing. I have since taken the same exact photo with this camera and the old one – its like night and day. Everything is either slightly out of focus or blurry – and its not user error! Just not sure how Canon can sell this shoddy quality equipment. Worst experience ever – never buying Canon again.

5 Stars Excellent camera
Excellent little camera. Very light and easy to take with on trips and such. Takes excellent pictures and is very user friendly. I would recommend this camera to anyone wanting a good priced camera that takes good quality pictures.

5 Stars Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS
NOTE:

I returned this camera to Amazon – but here’s the review anyway.

Pros:

1) Good point-and-shoot – works alright in most cases.

2) Small, sleek, light and handy. Fits in your pocket.

3) Zoom during recording video (some older models did not have this functionality).

4) Face detection works suprisingly well.

Cons:

1) Overexposure in Auto mode, sometimes.

2) No manual mode. Not even aperture priority or shutter speed priority modes.

3) Flimsy construction of (a) the battery and card slot door and (b) auto-program-video mode switch – I was scared they would come off every time I used it.

4) Static noise during video (an older canon camera I tried did not have this much noise).

5) No manual focus.

Summary:

This seems to be a good point-and-shoot. The overexposure problem can be corrected by exposure compensation in Program mode. I’d want a little more manual control over the settings (eg: shutter speed, f-stop, manual focus), and the Program mode doesn’t cut it. However, if you don’t need all that, this camera looks like a decent buy.

Misc:

Shipped fast, packaged well, product arrived in good condition.

Seller:

Price:

$179.99

5 Stars Great point and shoot, case recommendation
Im not going to review the merits of this point and shoot camera. Other reviews pretty much echo the pros and cons. We find it a great portable point and shoot camera. The “wide angle” aspect really makes pictures look like they are encompassing more area compared to my previous cameras. I would recommend that users looking for a small sleek and fitting case get the Caselogic UNZT-2. We got it and fits wonders. Check out my review on that product for more details.

5 Stars Pack & Go
I am a big fan of Canon and Nikon products. This camera is a little gem as it is light and portable. I use a Canon for work related matters and it serves my needs quite well. Its compact style makes it all the more appealing.

If you need something that is user friendly and ready to go, then you want this camera.

5 Stars Great Camera
Purchased two of these for my daughters. They both love this camera. The camera was recommended by Consumer Reports. Takes very good pictures and fun to use. Have had good luck with other Canon digital cameras for years. Easy to hold and use of the controls.

4 Stars Be Aware–No printed manual comes with the camera
I just bought this camera a few days ago to serve as a back-up camera for me while I send my Canon SD870IS out for service as well as be something my daughter can use as she gets more involved in taking her own photos. So far, this seems to be a pretty good camera and many of the features I was already used to using on my other Canon are there, but some are not as easy to locate as they are on the SD870. That’s where reading the detailed 148-page users manual will come in handy. Unfortunately, despite reading quite a few positive reviews about the camera before purchasing it, I never noticed anyone mention the fact that Canon is no longer providing the PRINTED copy of the 148-page users manual in the box. It’s great that it is provided on a CD and is easily loaded to your computer, particularly when you have misplaced the printed copy and need to look something up, but that’s not very convenient for when you are a new owner and are trying to learn to use the camera or don’t have access to your computer and need to find out how to do something. I definitely want to have a printed copy of the manual, so I now have to decide if I am going to print it myself or buy a copy of the manual from someone online who sells camera manuals. This is an unexpected expense and unexpected delay in getting up to speed on taking advantage of the capabilities of the camera. It’s only been 2 1/2 years since I bought my last Canon camera–and it came with a printed manual–so I was not aware of this obvious cost-cutting step that Canon has taken with it products. I’m still glad that I have the camera, but I don’t appreciate having to get my own copy of the printed manual. I would have preferred to pay a bit more for the camera in order to have the manual there in the box. FYI…If you lose the Canon CD that your manual is on and no longer have it on your computer, you can download the manual from the Canon web site and can read it online just fine, but if you have to print it out from a download you get from the Canon web site it will print with the word ‘COPY’ in a medium-gray color across each page. You can, however read through the medium-gray ‘COPY’.

5 Stars WOW
What a camera !! the pics are beautiful and the options are amazing , this is definitely the best of non-touch screen , digital camera.

The design is also nice and the size is perfect .
