Canon PowerShot SD 1100

There’s a lot to adulation about the newest agenda ELPH, the Canon PowerShot SD 1100 IS, an amend to the absolute SD 1000. With the SD 1100 IS, Canon has upped resolution from 7.4 megapixels to 8.3 megapixels and, as you can assumption from the IS in its name, added optical angel stabilization. As with the SD 1000, the SD 1100 IS can ascertain up to 9 faces in a arena and use them to set acknowledgment and focus. But it ups the ante by application face apprehension to abolish booze automatically as you’re cutting and to account white antithesis for bigger bark tones. It can alike let you accept a specific face in a arena to clue as it moves about the arena you’re shooting. Another new feature, Canon’s Motion Apprehension Technology additionally uses the bigger face apprehension to actuate if your accountable is affective and adjusts settings to anticipate motion blur. The new archetypal includes a 3x optical, 38-114mm f/2.8-4.9 zoom lens and has both an optical viewfinder as able-bodied as a 2.5-inch LCD. Canon affairs to address the SD 1100 IS in March for $250.

So has the SD 1100 IS taken over the SD 870 IS’s position as my admired agenda ELPH? Nope. While the SD 1100 IS is sleeker at aloof 4.41 ounces (vs. the 870’s 5.50 ounces) and comes in bristles colors (with cool names like Rhythm & Blue, Swing Silver, Bohemian Brown, and Pink Melody, in adverse to the 870’s alive “Silver” and “Black”) I still adopt the SD 870 IS for its added lens (28-105mm f/2.8-5.8) and 3-inch LCD, although the closing sacrifices an optical viewfinder, a accommodation I’m accept alike if others aren’t. You’ll additionally pay about $50 added for the 870 and you won’t get the newer face detection-based features, so you’ll accept to adjudge if you’re accept with that as well.
