Canon PowerShot A1100 IS Review

0

Offers a nice feature set, a little style, excellent image quality and a price of about $ 200, Canon PowerShot A1100 IS is a great starter point-and-shoot camera for people who are better picture quality than most similarly priced provide demand point-and-shoots can.

The A1100 has a well-made plastic with no creaking or moving seams. The right side bulges out a bit to create a handle, and moves the camera 4X zoom lens, until it more or less flush with the body of the camera. To 3.7 by 2.5 by 1.2 inches, the camera feels in some bulky bags, and because it uses two AA batteries, it is heavier than the cameras, with a proprietary battery. But the A1100 is still small enough to slip easily into a pocket or handbag. It comes in four colors: blue, green, gray and pink.

The PowerShot A1100 IS from 146 shots before the batteries need replacing – a surprisingly low number for a firing point-and-shoot camera with a small LCD screen.

On the back of the camera is a 2.5-inch LCD screen and a series of checks. The top of the camera are the power button, the mode dial and the shutter zoom control. Canon has a good job of standardizing the control layout and the on-screen interfaces in the point-and-line to shoot, so the time for learning the A1100 you should use good if you ever tried a different point Canon to run and shoot.

The A1100 offers a range of automatic functions. From the command dial to switch between Auto mode, Program mode, Movie mode, and select different theme programs. In Auto mode, the camera exposure and critical of each choice for you, in Program mode, you can change it manually in flash and adjust ISO, white balance and other settings. Although the camera lacks true aperture priority and manual modes, it will allow you to set the exposure compensation.

The A1100-scene modes are the best choice for good results in difficult situations with this camera. Choose from its mode, you can choose from five scene modes – or select SCN, which allows you to additional Scene modes in a quoted-screen menu, check.

The A1100 comes with three light meter, but it avoids complex functions such as recording modes. The camera has automatic focus works very well. Press the Face Detection button on the back of the camera causes the camera to automatically focus on faces in your scene, like most such mechanisms, the A1100 works at a good light, but can be frustrating, with lots of light in the bottom.

The camera 4X zoom lens captures the images in a variety of pretty far surprisingly tele, and the lens with optical stabilization is good (meaning that it involves special mechanism to prevent trembling of the hand). The A1100 offers an exceptional macro mode. With him can you get within 1.2 inches of your subject, and it even works with video mode, the camera, the attractive shoot 640-by-480 video with sound.

The camera’s 2.5-inch LCD screen looked washed out a bit, so difficult to see fine details in bright areas, especially in bright daylight. The optical viewfinder is very welcome in situations where just the LCD screen is difficult, although it shows only about 85 percent of the final image.

If you have a picture, half press the shutter button returns to verify you are in recording mode immediately, so you will never about missing a shot.

The A1100 had a very good overall image quality score for its price class, but he fell to the middle of the pack in our sharpness ratings. While I used the A1100, I could not find any discernible distortion, vignetting and chromatic aberration. One of the nicest things about the A1100 is its low noise. Recordings of up to ISO 400 is surprisingly clean – and even at ISO 800 and 1600 in low light, the results are still very useful.

For $ 200, the PowerShot A1100 offers strong performance. If you are a high-quality entry-level camera, you should consider essential to this model.
