Here is the conclusion of the review from Cameras.uk, giving the camera an overall
rating of 83 out of 100:
"The Powershot A1100 IS is an adaptable digital camera. It can handle
most photographic opportunities. I was impressed by the overall look of
the photos I took, especially the levels of sharpness.
The Powershot A1100 IS is functional rather than beautiful It is made
out of plastic and looks like a cut down version of a more traditional
camera. It is available in silver, blue and pink. Picture quality with the Canon Powershot A1100 IS is surprisingly good.
It may not win too many beauty contests, but this is one of those
digital cameras that does exactly what it sets out to do. That is take
excellent pictures given more or less any photo opportunity."

| CNET: "For the money the A1100 IS has very good photo quality. Color, contrast, and white balance are particularly good, though there is some highlight clipping. Characteristic of point-and-shoots, photos are best in bright lighting at sensitivities below ISO 200. Graininess/noise becomes readily noti..." - Jul 09 2009 More » | |
| MacWorld: "Image quality should always be your primary concern when making a camera choice, and in this regard the A1100 delivers. Its 12-megapixel sensor packs enough pixels for very large prints (you can easily use the camera's photos as 13-by-19-inch prints). Color is very good, and the camera's lens deliv..." - May 16 2009 More » | N/A |
| PCWorld: "In our lab tests, the A1100 had an excellent overall image quality score for its price category, though it dropped to the middle of the pack in our sharpness ratings. While I used the A1100, I couldn't find any discernible distortion, vignetting, or chromatic aberration. One of the nicest things ab..." - Apr 27 2009 More » | N/A |

Gorgeous pictures but..., R. Berry - Mar 10 2010
...this camera is a hard-core battery addict! I can use it for "maybe" an hour and the batteries are dead! This happens with or without the view screen on. I either need to get a ton of rechargeable batteries or a power cord! The pictures are beautiful! I use the macro mode for taking pictures of jewelry and they come out crisp and clear. I'm not a shutterbug by any means so it t...
I'm not pleased - poor pic quality, construction not durable, SDM "PT-Guy" - Mar 09 2010
I bought this camera before Christmas 2009, and took lots of pictures during the colorful holidays. I was not thrilled with the results - photos seemed dull, flat, and uninteresting. Photos taken with my 6-year-old Sony were much better! Thought about returning the camera, but couldn't be bothered. Wish I had - camera recently fell off a low end table, and the small plastic c...
