I am so glad I found this camera! I had received this exact model as a gift a year ago and then had my apartment burglarized and it was stolen. Every other point-and-shoot I looked at just didn't quite get me everything this camera does. I have a DSLR but wanted another, smaller camera for those times that lugging around my big camera wasn't practical. The controls on this camera are easy to use and it provides manual controls for those that want to get creative - the main reason I loved it! I was thrilled when I finally found it again on this site. You can't go wrong with this camera!

Love it!

This was a Christmas gift for my (now ten year old) son last year.  He has made some really nice images with this little camera!!  He also enjoys the video capability.  I found that it shoots better images by setting the exposure compensation to -1/3 stop and  leaving that as the default...
 I would recommend this camera for kids or for anyone who wants a great little camera for a really low price. I paid under $100.00 for it at Adorama before last Christmas.  AND,  it was the one present he was most excited about and is still using!!  ;-)

Great camera!

This is a nice camera to take along when you don't want to bring the full arsenal of camera and lenses. It is great for snapshots of family or events. It is small enough to fir in your pocket even when in a case.

Very compact

This a great camera for using some really great snapshots.  For those who know a few things about cameras, it does have a bit of flexibility when adjusting the settings yourself.  You are able to change the ISO and evaluated metering and the ability to use flash or not.

I also love that it goes down to a 2.8 shutter speed if it is needed.

Great little camera for the price....

I love this camera. It works incredibly well for what I need, it has a great color, and it gives me good quality pictures. I carry it with me at all times. I'd prefer if it had a veiwfinder, just because that's what I've gotten used to, but the digital screen works wonderfully.

Wonderful Camera!

Got this to keep in my purse and just have on hand while wandering around NYC on a daily basis.  There are always good shots to be had in the city, and this is a great camera to just have in my purse that doesn't take up room or add extra weight.  I've always loved Canon and this camera doesn't disappoint!

Small and great quality!

Bought this as an upgrade for my technically challenged mother.  The full auto feature is not as good as I had hoped for indoor pictures, but it is a fantastic upgrade from the A95 model.

Excellent Upgrade over A95

My 14-year-old daughter received this camera as a gift for Christmas. She LOVES it! She takes it to friends' houses, traveling, and takes pictures of family at home. She likes how it takes good pictures. She also says it is a strong camera as she has dropped it a few times without any apparent damage. She wqas able to se it almost immediately, right out of the box as it has intuitive controls. She has taken video with it and seems happy with the quality.

Stylish, fun to use camera

Was let down by all of the good reviews. My old 4 mega pixel Kodak takes better pictures and the movie mode picks up a very visible streak in the middle from lamps and lights. Also, overexposes. Will try to tweak it to see if I can get better performance.

Just OK

Very compact with an impressive rear LCD screen. Perfect size for "grab and go".

Nice pocket camera

These are just (my thoughts) I hope they might help a little. (Some things) I am compairing to a canon SD1200 and the SD940. The flat button arangement is the same as the SD1200 all but the power button on top is larger and easier to turn off and on, I like that but be carefull it does not come on in your pocket. I have not had any trouble using any of the buttons even with my big old hands. The SD1300 is very easy to use. Some will miss the viewfinder that the SD1200 had and some will miss the HD 720p in the movie mode that the SD940 has, The SD1300 has 640x480 at 30fps like the canon SD1200 G11 and S90. I like that the mic for the video is in the frount of the camera instead of being on the top (where I put my finger) like the canon SD940 SD970 and others, it picks up less finger movement noise being in the frount. I can not tell any difference in shot to shot or flash shot to shot times between the SD1300 and the SD1200 which is 2secs with out the flash, and 3 to 4secs with the flash on, (( up to 6secs for full flash recharge )). Shutter lag is good for a canon point and shoot but if you prefocas that will help even more. I never tested the continuous shooting( but see my battery test) but canon says it is 0.9 per sec where the sd 1200 is 1.4 shots per sec, if that is important to you. I did test the battery (NB-6L same battery as SD1200) by using continuous shooting with the flash on and got well over 400 pictures and it was taking ( 1 picture every 2 seconds or less in the continuous mode if that helps you out on the continuous shooting part) and when I turned the flash off it seemed to be very fast. In real life your get around 300 to 350 pictures with some of them using the flash, your still need a second battery for a backup. I am getting about the same image quality as the SD 1200 which is very good for this size point and shoot camera and getting a 2.7inch very clear LCD screen and a 28mm x 112mm lens a little better (than the 35 x 105 on the SD1200). This is just me, I am no expert but I like using the program mode best and try not to use the auto mode indoors ((auto works good outdoors in good light tho) auto seems to want to use a very high iso indoors which makes your pictures look grainy or snowy looking on larger prints, it would be ok for a 4x6 or 5x7 print?. I use program mode and set the iso to 100 or 200 iso (if possable indoors), (I like 80 or 100iso for the best image quality if you have anough good light indoors or outdoors ). For some reason canon has done this with all there newer point and shoot cameras the last year or two, (I know it is a bummer) and again this is just me), You might be happy with the pictures you take in auto mode... With the SD1200 and SD940 I would use program mode and auto iso but when trying to do that with the SD1300 it wants to go to 500iso some times where the 1200 and 940 would go to 250iso ,go figure? A lot of the review sites blow there pictures way up and look for defects, your likely to only make 5x7 or 8x10s and not see (what they see). If you are going to make larger prints or need a better low light camera and still stay in a point and shoot you could go with a canon S90 or the bigger G11,but (much more money I know)! Just keep the iso down and you will do good...) Just a thought I wish they would of stayed at 10 megapixles because of the small sensor. The SD1300 seems to have a nice sharp lens but highlights sometimes tend to blow out in very bright sun as with all small cameras this size, you can see this in some of the pictures I posted on this sight for the 1300. But to be fair my G11 does this also. No problem with red eye in pictures useing the SD1300. The menu screens are easy to read... The SD1300 has a touch more style, larger LCD and a little more virsatle lens than the SD1200, but the 1200 is also a very good camera. The SD1300 does have a weak battery door cover like the SD1200. Small enough to carry every place you go for those spontaneous grandkid pictures like the 1200 also. You do not get a SD card with the camera, a 4gb card class 4 or class 6 would be a good place to start if your going to use the movie mode any at all ), you could get by with a 2gb if not using the video mode. If your new to this digital camera stuff remember to low level format the SD card (save your pictures first, doing this will also erase the pictures). I carry my camera in a little phone case that has a belt clip not a loop for fast & easy on and off the belt.. I definitely recommend picking up a small camera case for protection. In the menu mode I set the I S mode to continous and the display overlay to grid lines(the grid lines help me take straighter pictures, you may use it for the 1/3 rule also).  I mostly take pictures of bear in the Smokey Mountians (CADES COVE) and love chaseing the grand kids around taking their pictures
