Specs & RatingsConclusion
The Canon A1100 IS ($199) is a simple camera that is designed for people who love using automatic settings and scene modes. Don't go out and purchase it if you're hoping to play around with depth of field or mess with funky shutter speed controls—the A1100 IS doesn't have this capability. It does, however, offer face detection, numerous self-timer features, optical image stabilization, and scene modes for most occasions and settings. The camera also has a tiny optical viewfinder, which is becoming a rarity on compact digital camera's.
The Canon A1100 IS didn't blow us away with any special features, but, other than the lack of manual controls, it really isn't missing anything either. It has enough options and settings to keep most casual photographers happy.
If the 4x optical zoom isn't good enough for you, there's always the step-up model A2100 IS, which offers a 6x optical zoom and a larger LCD screen for an extra $50.
