Hey photography fans. Just got a new Canon A1100 IS for a steal (it will actually make me money). So far it seems like a nice little point and shoot. It takes 2 AA batteries, SD/SDHC memory cards. 12 Megapixels (wow ).
Overall we like it. It takes pretty good videos even in low light. Once we figured out the right settings, we were getting good non-grainy photos in low light conditions as well. We are upgrading from the canon a400, which we love. The a400 is literally point and shoot - no messing with settings required and pictures come out perfect every time. We do have to turn the knob to the right setting on the new a1100. But now we are getting nice crisp shots.
Anyone else have an a1100 and like/dislike it? We have 13 days left to return it for a full refund.
The only downside from what I can tell is that the videos take up tons of space. Roughly 6-7 GB per hour I think on the best settings. I may be able to post-process and compress them somewhat without seriously degrading quality.
This is the first new piece of gear for our upcoming Argentina/Uruguay getaway in March.
