If you are looking for a camera that is powerful, but compact, read this Canon Powershot Review of the SD 1200IS! This is a casual camera, and while not designed for professional photographers, it is still very powerful.
The Canon Powershot takes photos at 10 Mega Pixels, a bit higher than the current standard in the industry. This means that pictures taken with this camera can be printed at a whopping 13 x 19 inches! It is small and compact. It is also very easy to use. Even if you only have limited experience using digital cameras (you understand how to turn one on and how to take a picture), you should be able to use the Canon Powershot SD SD1200IS. NOTE: It’s a great gift idea for a teenager!
It has advanced digital technologies that allow a beginner to take stunning photographs. It can work in an situation, spanning from a warm sunny day to a dark night (especially with the help of the built-in flash). The camera is fast to startup, so if you need to take a quick shot you won’t miss anything.
The Canon Powershot SD SD1200IS is sturdily built, so it can survive a beating. It includes a bright 2.5” LCD screen for viewing what you are photographing or viewing photographs taken in the past. Most digital cameras these days have around a 2.5” LCD screen, so this feature isn’t that exciting.
A huge improvement over the SD 1100 series, the 1200IS has Digic4 and a larger CCD sensor. This increase in CCD size (1/2.3″ vs 1/2.5″) will make your pictures look even crisper. The images – despite the increase in mp size, stored just as quickly as the 1100. Overall, this camera take picture FAST. The size is a bit smaller, too.
Although this camera has many high points, it isn’t a perfect camera. It is, though, a great camera for the price tag it wears. It isn’t great for anyone who is more than the casual photographer. It doesn’t offer the extreme control that some photo experts may desire. You shouldn’t have a problem if you are just taking photos for fun, though.
You will need to purchase an SD card to go along with this great camera – it can only hold around 240 images on its own. This is a decent amount, but if you plan on taking many photos before exporting them to your computer you may want to expand. The camera also might have trouble taking images of high-speed situations, such as sporting events. Photographs taken may appear blurry, as with any other camera.
Overall, the Canon Powershot SD SD1200IS is a powerful camera at a great price. As always, you might seek something more powerful, but this camera should fulfill the needs of a casual photographer.
