Great all-around camera!

"A friend of mine had one of the original versions of the PowerShot, which he recently upgraded to the 750. I have the SD1100 now and LOVE it. All of the PowerShot cameras have amazing ease of use.

"The camera is great. Sleek, compact, and it takes great pictures. There are lots of features that are accessible once you get the hang of the menu (which is a little complicated). If you just want to point and shoot on an auto setting, though, you can be up and running in seconds. It comes with an S …"  Read Full Review »

Took great pictures indoors with fairly low light and no flash. Flash range is pretty short -- about 12 ft / 4 meters maximum for de …"  Read Full Review »

"I love this little camera because it's so easy to use. It's tiny and compact so its always in my purse no matter what and I barely know its there. It has a great zoom so when I'm far back at a concert this camera will still pick up the musician on stage. It's worth every penny! "
