Comments about Canon Canon Powershot A1100 IS Digital Camera - Gray - Refurbished:

The weight of this camera is perfect. It has a view finder if it's too bright outside. It has a Histogram! That is a great feature that I use all of the time with my DSLR's and it is a must if you want to know if the exposure is right. The movie is also really good for a Point and shoot as long as you don't zoom, otherwise it is grainy. !2 MP makes for some nice photos. Only thing I don't like is the lack of manual control, it seems like Canon could add that for us who want it. I also like the f-stops, they go from f/2.7-f/11 Not a bad camera.

Comments about Canon Canon Powershot A1100 IS Digital Camera - Gray - Refurbished:

For the money this is a camera worth taking a serious look at...Image quality is up to Canon's usual standards. Continuous shooting speed is as good or better than most point and shoot cameras. This camera is great for the casual user or pro as a back-up in case your SLR goes out. Resolution is very good and you do have some limited control in program mode. Overall, I think that there is little spread in image quality in comparing this camera and the other expensive point and shoot....and after all..isn't image quality what it's really all about.

Comments about Canon Canon Powershot A1100 IS Digital Camera - Gray - Refurbished:

I think too many people expect all cameras to be professional class cameras. This is a great camera for the price. It has some great features. It uses double AA batteries which are easy to find. It takes great pictures. If you're looking for a pro camera spend the money to get a pro camera.

Comments about Canon Canon Powershot A1100 IS Digital Camera - Gray - Refurbished:

I purchased one for myself, then I purchased one for my Niece and family. They were going to DisneyWorld and they loved it. They were so excited, since their old camera (not canon) pooped out. I would highly recommend.
