GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF CAMERA
The Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS
camera, known as the IXUS 80 IS in
Europe, is a solid point and shoot tool,
combining an 8MP sensor with a 3x
zoom (38-114 equiv, optically
stabilized) and lets you view images
and menus on a high resolution 2.5
inch screen. The camera is stylish,
elegant looking and ultra compact, and
features a user interface which is one of the fastest and most intuitive in the
compact camera sector. The FUNC control provides the photographer with easy
and quick access to all essential controls, as white balance, image size and quality
and exposure compensation.
The Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS camera is very responsive. The DIGIC III
imaging processor, which was also proven among Canon DSLR cameras, provides
enough computing power to never let any slackness creep in. The camera takes
just under one second to get ready for shooting, which is an extremely short time
and should assist the photographer getting even the most spontaneous snapshot
nicely framed. The camera’s auto focus is accurate and quick, flash recycle time is
short and the image stabilization system is very efficient, especially when shooting
during movement. Extended light sensitivity as high as ISO 1600 prevents blurred
shots when shooting in lower light, or when capturing fast-moving objects, like
underwater life. All functions are optimized to respond immediately, ensuring that
the photographer never misses a fleeting opportunity for a great shot.
