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.

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. Caselogic UNZT-2 Compact Camera Case (Blue/Compressed Flower)

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 .

    5 Stars The No-brainer Compact Camera
    If you are looking for an ultra-portable camera that takes great pictures, and doesn’t require any knowledge about camera settings, it doesn’t get any better than this. I have the black model. It’s sleek and stylish.

    I also have a Canon S5 with lens and filters attachments, and gives me near-DSLR control over camera settings. But it is somewhat bulky, and therefore doesn’t come with me most of the time.

    The SD1400 is super-tiny. Fits in any pocket. It feels great in the hand. The rounded edges are a big improvement over past models that were somewhat boxy and sharp even thought they were small. The SD1400 is the slimmest Canon ever. The photo quality is impressive. Not as good as bulkier cameras with larger CCD chips, but if you are looking to get 4×6, 5×7, or 8×10 prints, or if you like to look at your photos on your HD TV or computer screen, this camera totally satisfies. I shoot everything at 9 mega-pixels, not at the 14 mega-pixel highest setting.

    The Digic IV firmware is excellent. I love the auto-focus, image stabilization and face recognition. It keeps improving over previous Digic generations. There are many other features that can be quite useful, like blink recognition, and some I will rarely use. Fish-eye effect is fun, as is color swap. But you can also do these in post production. You have some control over settings, but Auto mode works so well, why monkey around? Get your shots and get back to enjoying what you are doing. This is the kind of camera you use to quickly document events in your life while barely being noticed. It’s not for professional use. If you think of it that way, you will be very satisfied. Wide aperture range, good 4x zoom, and decent low light performance. Compares favorably with any small compact camera you can find today.

    The HD video quality is excellent. 720P is perfect for my needs. While 1080P is not supported, my dual-core PC handles 720P much better during editing. And it looks great on an HDTV TV using a mini-HDMI-to-HDMI cable from Amazon. I wish am HDMI cable came with the camera, but cables are inexpensive online. I also wish you could use optical zoom while shooting video.

    The SD1400 replaces my outstanding Canon SD870 8 mega-pixel camera, which three times had the dubious “lens error.” This happened when it was in my pocket and the on/off button was accidentally pushed. The lens would partially extend and become knocked out of alignment. Two of the repairs were under warranty (Amex extended my warranty an additional year). The last error was 3 years into the camera’s life. Fortunately, Canon has addressed the “lens error” problem. In the SD1400, if the lens is prevented from fully extending at startup, it displays a message, automatically retracts the lens, and the camera turns off. This is the much-needed fix to a long-time problem with Canon Powershot compacts. You can try it at a local electronics store. It really works!

    Bottom line… Put the SD1400 in Auto mode and snap away. You will not be disappointed. It’s the best, tiniest, sleekest, coolest compact camera in the market (until Canon raises the bar in another couple years).

    2 Stars Bad outside shooting results
    When I looked at “The best ultra compacts” list of the SnapSort web site, I found out this camera as #1 within this category.

    I was excited that this small size camera is very popular and has a very good characteristics. So I’ve bought it.

    Within 1st week I made about 450 shots and was very disappointed.

    Pros:

    Small, handy camera, easy to operate, good price.

    Not bad low light image quality.

    Good videos.

    Good quality of construction.

    Looks like a good toy.

    Cons:

    BAD image quality for the following situations:

    1. Flat and discolored people faces for outdoor shooting.

    2. The glare is very strong in high noon sun.

    3. Softness and discoloring on trees and grass images.

    So, this is good camera when using indoor, but, on my opinion is not good for outdoor shooting or when using the Portrait mode.

    I lost my 5 years old Olympus C7000 2 months ago. It did not have any new functions such as image stabilization, wide-angle lenses, high ISO settings, etc, but had a SUPER image quality and broad range of manual settings. (Unfortunately the Olympus don’t have now any new cameras to replace my beloved C7000).

    I returned the SD1400 back and bought the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. It’s more expensive but image quality is just INCREADIBLE for both outdoor and indoor shooting.

    I don’t recommend to buy the SD1400 camera, unless you don’t care of REAL image quality for outdoor shooting

    3 Stars Improves on everything but image quality…
    I have had many of these Canon ELPH cameras and am a huge fan of them. My most recent was the SD750 that we lost in a move. If you don’t believe me on the MP argument and market forces, just search Amazon.com for the SD750 and look what a camera I paid $200 for years ago costs today. The new ones are in the $300 range (yes I undersand demand but that is in effect my point).

    The ELPH series has always been a great line of cameras in my opinion. Having lost our SD750 and having a trip to Maui, we needed a new digital camera that would fit in a pocket. I assumed that I could not go wrong with a Canon ELPH so I grabbed the SD1400 IS and took it straight to Maui. We shot about 200 photos of the beach, restaurants, sailing trip, round of golf (including Kapalua Plantation). I have taken older Canon ELPHs on many (many) trips and have always come home and enjoyed the pictures we have taken. I have also enjoyed the Auto mode of those cameras. Let me first say something positive. The build quality of this camera may be the best I have seen from a Canon ELPH or any other point-and-shoot for that matter. Very, very nice build quality. However, early into using this SD1400 IS I saw that something was up with Auto mode as pictures in all sorts of situations just didn’t look right… from color to lighting, etc. It got to the point where I would take a picture in Auto mode AND then take in Program mode hoping for a good result from either. It’s like the camera was so smart it was trying to pick a “mode” in Auto yet the mode it chose was far from optimal. Far.

    With that said, I just reviewed about 200 photos from this camera from our trip to Maui and I would have to say I am highly unimpressed with the results in comparison to my old 3MP and 7MP Canon ELPHs. I am very dissatisfied with what this camera produced. There are even pictures I took that looked amazing on the screen only to be OK-but-nothing-special when looked at on my Mac. How do you make Kapalua look average? If Canon wants to claim I have a defective unit and send me another one I would be more than glad to try again but at this point I just bit the bullet and bought the SD1300 IS hoping that 2 less megapixels will help.

    Like I said, I have always loved this line of cameras and I have never had to “work” to take great pictures. Not only did I have to work to do so with this camera but even the results were less satisfying than what I am used to from a Canon ELPH product. Canon needs to take their own advice like they are doing in another line of cameras and exit the MP war and go back to what is important in a point-and-shoot.. easy and thoughtless picture taking with excellent image quality.

    4 Stars just right
    I was looking for a slim but feature rich quality camera. I have had canon’s in the past but wanted to try something different. At first I bought a Samsung but it proved to be a bit too bulky. So far we love the canon my only complaint is that sometimes when shooting video it goes out of focus. no idea why.

    5 Stars Canon Digital Camera
    Can’t expect less from this product. It’s awesome! Image quality worthy of a Canon camera. Excellent for carry on. Video quality is awesome for being such a small camera. Excellent for night time pictures.

    3 Stars Picture quality disapointing
    After receiving the 1400 I did side by side tests with a Canon 1300IS and a Panasonic DMC-DS5. Based strictly on picture quality the 1400 finished last. If you like the tiny size of this camera stick with the 1300. The best picture quality was from the Panasonic and the bigger size felt better in my hand and was also comfortable in my pocket. I thought Canons were the best value, but now I’m a Panasonic guy.

    5 Stars The Canon SD1400 is one of the most attractive ELPHs Canon has designed.
    I bought the SD1400IS for its compact size (the slimmest DigiCam around) and its plethora of features, all at a bargain price of $219.

    Initially I was disappointed with the image quality of the camera, as it is too noisy. But you can’t expect a compact cam to capture noise-less images. The previous model – the SD1300IS is known to have better image quality than the SD1400IS, however, if you are not going to use the image for poster prints, and won’t be needing to see each and every pixel of the 14MP Image, then you’ll soon find the pictures to be Excellent.

    The New Smart Auto mode works quite well and surprisingly quickly.

    Macro images are sharp and clear.

    The HD Video (720p) quality is good, but don’t compare it with a camcorder,

    The exterior has smooth and sleek rounded edges and feels nice taking pictures.

    Continuous shooting is slower than my previous model – SD790IS.

    Also I miss the Quick-Select Dial on the SD790IS. Selecting the desired Program Mode on the SD1400 does take longer.

    Face Detection Self-timer and Smile Shutter are good add-ons, though difficult to set giving the recessed buttons and lengthy menu selection using 2 buttons only.

    Its got a mini HDMI output, but Canon doesn’t include the HDMI cable with it, correctly to reduce unnecessary cost.

    Battery/Memory compartment is nicer than before, and can take constant opening and closing for a long life. Battery Life is excellent as usual.

    Overall, the Camera is worth the price I paid for it, and I got what I really needed. An excellent compact DigiCam.

    But If you are one of those who like to print images on A4 size or more, I suggest you look at the SD1300IS or the Canon SX210IS.

    5 Stars great camera
    great camera for the price. The only thing that is a little diffrent is the zoom switch. it is a little small and slow to find. but I would not take points from the camera for that. does a great job with taking pictures of the kids. considering they never realy hold still.

    4 Stars Great little camera
    I first bought the $400 Sony DSC-TX7. I have always been a Canon girl but the Sony blew me away with the large display screen and easy to use toch screen features. I really wanted to love the Sony but ended up returning it. I bought this little Canon 1400is and compared it side by side with the Sony. The Sony oversaturated the colors and if it is low light at all, even with the flash, people came out very red in color, sometimes their faces would be okay but neck down very very red. Also, the low light capabilties of the Sony were very dissapointing even with the flash. I am reading these recent reviews of the Canon and many complain about the quality of the photos but I am just now seeing it. I dropped and broke my old Canon, wish I still had it to compare side by side photos with this Canon. I wish it came with a bigger viewing screen, that was a great asset on the Sony. Love the Canon’s black and white, sepia, and black and white with one color feature, very fun! The ease of using all of the features takes a little time to adjust to, the Sony was a breeze. All that said, I am still happy with my decision to keep this camera and return the other, even though I had to give up the large and fun touch screen on the Sony. Picture quality is the most important thing on any camera as far as I am concerned and I feel this little Canon does a great job.

    4 Stars Great camera, but missing time lapse
    I had a SD100IS which had time lapse option for video. This one is supposed to be an upgrade of that, but they dropped the option for time lapse and my inquiries to Canon they have said it doesn’t have the option and that “not all options can be included in all cameras” – but WHY TAKE AWAY OPTIONS ? They also said no firmware update would be made for that option. I thought camera’s IMPROVE on newer versions, not take away options. I might have gone back and bought another SD1100IS but just kept this one. Be careful with all Canon cameras – the reason I don’t have my SD1100 anymore is because literally a few DROPS of water touched it for a few SECONDS and FRIED THE LCD. The amount of water that touched it equaled the amount in an eye dropper and it was wiped off immediately.
