- "Over-Rated Preliminary Reviews" on May 20, 2008 by Eppy1 (1 review)
- Pros: Beautiful Outdoor Pictures, Vivid colors, Stylish, Compact
- Cons: Annoyingly slow, poor flash, poor indoor shots
- Summary: Just bought the SD1100IS to replace a 1-1/2 year old Casio Exilim EX-Z850 that I broke. I checked out all of the reviews for this new Canon model and was impressed with the comments. But after receiving the camera and using it for a few weeks I am beginning to have my doubts. In fact, right now I would happily trade it in to have my Casio Exilim back!
- 1. Slow, slow, slow - the setup time for every shot, particularly indoor shots, is really annoying. My Casio was ready in about half the time. Taking quick sequenced indoor shots with a flash is not realistic.
- 2. Grainy image on viewing screen for any nightime indoor shots.
- 3. Severely under-powered flash - I thought I read some reviews that gave it an OK rating at 10 feet...I have not had much luck farther than about 8 feet. Many flash shots were severely darkened by lack of light...and often the flash only covered a portion of the image leaving faces dark and everything else in the photo bright.
- 4. Used it the second week I had it for a wedding - roughly half of the shots had to be thrown away...you don't get a lot of opportunities at a wedding. Things move along at their own pace. So walking down the aisle, every other shot was blurry, or out of focus. Getting a low light shot was trying at best, even with proper "best shot" settings.
- 5. Face Recognition software worked sometimes, and other times drove me crazy as it would not lock in anywhere near the faces....I eventually shut it off.
- 6. The pictures - well yes it does take nice pictures...if you're willing to put up with a very annoying camera. Maybe I'll get more used to it over time. I just can't afford to have so many bad shots among the good ones.
- 7. Software is very good, uploading and sorting is easy, can print right from the camera without a PC (yes, you need a printer).
- 8. Right now, I think a 7 is the best rating I can squeeze out for this camera.
