Review summary: The Canon PowerShot A1100 IS' no-nonsense design, layout and controls are refreshing. It's easy to figure out, and anyone could use it. But it's plasticky, the image quality isn't particularly impressive and it's not especially good value for money --...

Verdict: Conclusion The Canon PowerShot A1100 IS is down-to earth, functional and easy to use. It's big enough to grip, the controls are clear and it gets its power from easily obtainable disposable batteries. Canon even throws in a 128MB SD card. But it's...

Review summary: Canon's PowerShot A1100 IS ($199.99 direct), the successor to last year's Editors' Choice-winning PowerShot A1000 IS, delivers an identical experience: top-notch image quality, fast speeds, good controls, and features that simplify shooting for...

Verdict: The Canon PowerShot A1100 IS is a fine budget shooter, but it's virtually identical to its predecessor, the A1000, which you can buy for at least $50 less.

Review summary: The step-up model from the Canon PowerShot A1000 IS, the A1100 IS gets a higher-resolution sensor at 12 megapixels, uses Canon's Digic 4 image processor, and has a couple more shooting options like Smart Auto--the manufacturer's automatic scene...

Verdict: Aside from a couple performance quibbles, the Canon PowerShot A1100 IS provides a good point-and-shoot experience with great pictures as a result.

Review summary: Be it outdoor shots or indoors under low-lights, this PowerShot A1100 IS is simply the best point and shoot in its price range.

Verdict: If you are on the lookout for an everyday camera, you cannot go wrong with the PowerShot A1100 IS. In its price range, it offers the best performance, be it outdoor shots or indoor under lowlight. Video mode is a plus point and so is the macro mode...

Verdict: A great value for the price, with better image quality than more expensive cameras and a nice feature set.

Review summary: This camera is all about picture quality. It is not small enough to fit into a pocket and it does not have a sleek, stylish design, but it takes a very good picture. It offers a clear step up from more basic entry level digital cameras.

Verdict: Picture quality with the Canon Powershot A1100 IS is surprisingly good. It may not win too many beauty contests, but this is one of those digital cameras that does exactly what it sets out to do. That is take excellent pictures given more or less any...

Review summary: The Canon A1100 IS has been released with its compact partner, the A2100 IS - both of which feature a high 12.1-megapixels, but the A1100 IS hasn't come in cheap, breaking the £200 mark.

Verdict: It's over-priced for the features onboard, but if you're looking for a fun, easy to use compact, this compact is the one for you.

Review summary: Canon's PowerShot A1100 IS provides a very good price/performance ratio, and it's even available in four fashionable colors. If you're looking for a good entry-level camera, you should consider the A1100.

Verdict: The A1100 sports a plastic body that is well made, with no creaks or moving seams. The right side bulges a bit to create a hand grip, and the camera’s 4x zoom lens retracts to be fairly flush with the camera’s body. At 3.7 by 2.5 by 1.2 inches, the...

Review summary: From generation to generation, the optical viewfinder that used to equip all PowerShots, has gradually disappeared. Beyond the very top end G10, the A1100 IS is now the last in the range to keep this accessory. This one is narrow and imprecise....

Verdict: There was one thing that should have been replaced on the A1000: the screen. Unfortunately this hasn't been done. The increase in megapixels also causes a noticeable slowing between one photo and another in burst mode. The camera remains easy to use,...
