4 Stars Good for the price
This camera appears to be good value for the price. It’s not a great camera, but it’s small, is easy to operate and takes good pictures.

3 Stars So, So At Best
I hate the fact there there is no optical viewfinder. It is nearly impossible in bright light to compose a decent shot using the digital display. This was really apparent yesterday at a Blue Angels air show. This thing takes decent photographs once you get used to it but not that much better than the 3MP Nikon that it replaced.

5 Stars Digital Camera
This camera is great! Easy to use and takes great pictures. Having a cable to upload directly to my computer is a bonus! And no more recharging AA batteries.

1 Star Worst Canon Ever
Have had Canon products in the past and they were great but NOT this model. After ordering the first one the viewing screen became cloudy after 2 weeks. Returned to Amazon and got another. Within 1 week the screen went completely blank. Again Amazon refunded my purchase price. This camera is obviously not up to Canon’s usual standards. Buy something else. I finally ended up with a Nikon Coolpix and it is a wonderful camera.

5 Stars Great camera!
After getting my Canon elp sd1000 (great camera btw) i was in desperate need of a camera because I was in europe so of course i needed a new camera! i was on the fence of between a sony or a canon. From the track record I had with my old canon, i picked the canon A3100 IS. It’s an amazing camera! I just basically left it on Auto and it helps me macro close up pictures or what not. after reading reviews and more about the camera, i found out there’s a “poster” mode that looked pretty cool! i was disappointed that i didn’t get to try that mode but i will def. put it to good use! love love this camera! i don’t get what the other reviewer was talking about…having their screen being cloudy. i’ve had my camera for a month already and it’s been fine. along with me dropping it. i love canon…so durable!

5 Stars Canon
I read about this camera and ended up purchasing it. It takes great pictures! Have been using it for a month now and no problems. Really easy to use too. I have had numerous cameras but always go back to Canon… It is GREAT! I love this camera!

5 Stars Awesome!
This camera is everything it says and it’s smaller then I expected, which is even better. Canon has outdone themselves with this one.

5 Stars The Canon SD1400IS is Capable & Compact
In short, this is a great camera in a very small package that produces good results! I wanted a small portable camera with HD video capabilities that I could take with me when I did not want to lug around my DSLR (Canon 40D + lenses) and this little gem fits the bill perfectly.

This camera replaced a Canon PowerShot SD780IS (Black) that I returned due to constant audio noise (hum) while recording video. Rather than risk getting another defective SD780IS with the same issue (many seem to report hearing the noise/hum), I decided to upgrade to the latest Canon PowerShot SD1400IS (Black). I am happy to report that this camera has no such issue with audio when video is being recorded.

The picture quality of the SD780IS and SD1400IS is roughly the same and on par with what one should expect from such a small ultra-portable camera. Going from 12MP to 14MP is a wash as the sensor is the same size and results are very similar. I have posted several shots of flowers under the “customer images” section of the Canon PowerShot SD1400IS 14.1 MP (Black) and also uploaded several 100% crops of each image so pixel peepers can see the detail that this camera produces.

Let me be clear, anyone that thinks this camera is going to produce anything close to the quality of a DSLR is fooling himself or herself. There is no way that this small of a package (3.6 x 0.7 x 2.2 inches ; 4.6 ounces) can produce the same image quality as a DSLR. If image quality if paramount, one would be better off considering the Canon PowerShot S90 10MP Digital Camera, but you will lose the HD video capability, some portability and spend roughly another $125. When I want extreme quality, I simply take my Canon 40D + lenses with me and shoot in RAW.

The Auto mode is smart and I think there is more happening behind the scenes than one would expect. If one takes the same image (same ISO settings, lighting, shutter etc.) in Auto and then in Program mode, the results are similar, but I think the Auto mode wins nearly every time. I have no way to confirm this, but the Auto mode seems to have different compression algorithms depending on the subject and can produce a less noisy image at higher ISO than Program mode can. Inside shots are good but I wish I could set an ISO range to force the Auto mode not to exceed 400 ISO.

Tip: If you are getting blurry images, remember that the minimum focal length is much less 5cm when at 28mm and significantly more 50cm when zoomed in to 112mm. So, if you are trying to get the camera close to your subject, be sure to gauge your zoom/subject distances properly other wise your subject will be out of focus. Perhaps this would have helped the 1 star reviewer.

Final items of note:

1. There is no viewfinder and quite honestly, the small viewfinder on the SD780IS was useless so I do not miss having one. The LCD is bright and works great even on bright days.

2. There is no optical zoom while recording video, only digital zoom, so one has to decide on a zoom length before starting to record. This is a non-issue for me as many people overuse zoom and usually would have been better off just recording a static shot rather than making me dizzy with shaky-cam + zooming at the same time.

Bottom line: This is a fantastic pocket camera capable of decent images with HD video recording as a bonus. It is small enough that it will get taken everywhere enabling capturing of all those special moments. I would highly recommend it to anyone, so long as they realize the limitations inherent to ultra compact cameras. I hope this is review is helpful.

Update: I forgot to mention that one should be sure to get no less than a “Class 4″ SD card (Class 6 would be even better) to prevent any video recording issues (missed frames etc.)

4 Stars Made in China….?!!
I wonder anyone got this camera is made in china?

Its serial# 0420600XXXX

Btw, I felt it got cheap material with battery cover.

4 Stars Sleek and powerful, nice HD
For $250, I’m satisfied with the SD1400. It’s small and simple enough not to intimidate my wife which now means that Daddy can actually appear in a couple of family photos. The picture and video quality are excellent too. The only criticism that I have is that zoom is unavailable when shooting video and that the shutter is a bit slow to respond (as is the case with most of the cameras in this class irrespective of manufacturer).

Even when picture-taking conditions seem pretty unforgiving, you’ve got Canon on your side. So the shots you used to miss are the images you’ll now be sharing, and the movies you never took before will be HD unforgettable.

4 Stars Great product
I previously had a Canon digital camera. I really like the small size of the camera. It takes quality pictures and the functions are easy to use. I would recommend to family and friends.

5 Stars best camera i’ve had yet
camera is really small and compact, the 3x zoom isn’t impressive but it’s only for taking pictures with your friends. The HD video is good! 720p, the microphone isn’t as great as others though, I suggest getting a Flip if your looking for recording video.

Features?

not too many…

my aunt has a sony cybershot and it’s loaded with features,

BUT, i believe canon has way better picture quality,

there is almost no shutter lag but focusing it may take a second

that’s all for now.

4 Stars Great Camera
This is my first digital camera. It was necessary for me to read the basic part of the instructions to operate it, but it was easy to learn. It’s lightweight and fun to use.

5 Stars Truly outstanding
When our Nikon Coolpix died, we were left with a lot of usable accessories, etc. But I compared all the reviews and this Canon stood out, so I bought it instead of another Coolpix. From the first picture taken in a dimly lit kitchen to pictures taken from a slow-moving bus to pictures of two dogs walking down a wooded path, I have been amazed and pleased. The camera is super-quick to focus and very quick to take a picture. The stabilizing feature, the ability to capture movement (in auto mode), the adaptation to any lighting condition and any focus challenge all amaze me. The ease of use and image quality makes me want to pull the camera out at every opportunity–it’s not just handy, it’s good! For about $50 more than my defunct Nikon, I have a far better camera that takes pictures as good as my much bigger ultra-zoom.

I did not buy it for the video, but I enjoyed filming dolphins sporting in the Atlantic from my motel room balcony and then editing the video right in the camera to cut out the frames of empty ocean–the sound was surprisingly clear, too.

I am now actually grateful that my wife took the old Coolpix sea kayaking (though it might have been moribund anyway). And I am glad I did not follow my leftover Nikon accessories to the purchase of another so-so camera.

1 Star Lousy Picture Quaity
I’m in a real minority here, and even though the camera is great in most all respects, the thing the camera is for – taking pictures – the camera I received produced terrible quality pictures. They were blurry appeared out of focus and were not usable. Nothing I could do seemed to be able to fix it, so now the camera is back at Amazon and I will get a refund shortly, I hope. This would have been my third Canon SD Power Shot camera and the others have been great, but are old and becoming limited. This could be a quality control problem, or poor handling between wherever and here, and concerns only the unit I got. So my question is – should I try the same model again or move on elsewhere. Anyone have any advice?

Canon PowerShot G11 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Stabilized Zoom and 2 8 inch articulating LCD

Canon PowerShot G11 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Stabilized Zoom and 2 8 inch articulating LCD

The PowerShot G11 is a compact camera that will find favor with professionals and advanced amateur photographers due to its superb image quality, full manual control of settings, and RAW shooting capability. If it’s not practical or safe to carry a large DSLR a high-specification compact such as the PowerShot G11 is a fantastic choice. It’s great for photographers looking to capture high resolution, high quality, and low light images without having to carry a large SLR system in their kit bags.The G11 features face detection technology that can detect and track numerous faces within the frame to ensure the correct exposure and focus for them. An enhanced i-Contrast system optimizes the dynamic range of subjects to deliver shadow details whilst avoiding highlight blow outs.

5 Stars Canon G11
No problems so far. We are happy with the fine quality of the photos. We wish HD video would have been available, but the SD video works well. We will await news of the successor to this fine camera. We downloaded the “chimpanzee theme” of camera sounds for use in our camera from the Canon website. That entertains us.

5 Stars canon g11
Great camera. I had previously owned a G9 and loved it. The camera finally broke and the repair estimate was so high I felt it was better just to buy a new one. Too bad as I loved the camera. This is a nice update on the camera.

4 Stars I had a G3 and this one is true to the G line by Canon
I owned a G2 and G3 after which I moved bought several Canon DSLR cameras the 20D ,40D and the 5d Mark II. I still have the 40D and 5D Mark II but I found one thing missing and that was the articulated LCD. In order to take those photos that my age would not allow but I did not want to reduce my Pro functions and quality. The fact that this camera also shoots in RAW is a great pro factor also. The G11 makes for a perfect set now and it fits a very unique and important nitche in my out door photography. I would have given it 5 stars if had a wired or IR remote for steadyness to get the crisp focus shots. I find that a small tripod goes along well in my pack and serves as the next best answer to that problem.

3 Stars Hard to hold, easy to drop
Maybe my old hands get drier than those of Canon’s designers, but I found this camera slippery and difficult to hold. Even the non-slip wrap on the front is too subtle to provide a good grip.

In addition to the body’s slipperiness overall, the camera is HEAVY and bulky. I found it difficult to figure out how to hold this thing. Be sure to hold one of these before you buy it; maybe your hands will fit it better.

I could hardly find a way to shoot with one hand, which is what I need to do. The camera is difficult to hold to your side and walk with it with fingers down. I found no way to wrap my hand around it to hold it securely while carrying it at my side (as I am used to carrying other cameras, ready to raise and shoot). The strap didn’t help.

For many people, this will be a 2-handed camera, which takes something away from its flexibility.

I really wanted to like this camera, but I gave it three weeks and my hands never stopped feeling awkward and easily tired when using it. It just was not a fit for me.

I didn’t get around to trying to tweak the image quality — but it came out untweaked seeming over-processed and over-intense. I imagine this could be adjusted.

What’s especially good: The flip-out screen, manual controls including the dial to adjust exposure, the quick responsiveness.

5 Stars Nice camera for the use I wanted
So far so good. I have not had any issues witht the camera, and it has performed like I wanted it to.
