My current camera (a Vivitar) takes pictures very, very slowly, so before saving up for the Canon Powershot SD1100 IS, I want to make sure it will be better then my Vivitar.
Thank-you!
And thanks to all the people who’ve already helped me with info on the Canon camera.

“Camera performance is very good. The SD1100 is ready to take its first picture just 0.7 seconds after you press the power button. The camera focuses quickly, even in low light situations. Shutter lag wasn’t a problem, and shot-to-shot delays are minimal. The exception to this last item is when you’re using the flash, which increases the shot-to-shot wait to about three seconds. The SD1100′s continuous shooting mode won’t win any awards for speed, but it can keep shooting at 1.3 frames/second until your memory card fills up. Battery life was about average for an ultra-compact camera.”
Yes, Canon’s ultra compact SD models are quite speedy. They also take good quality images and are generally fun to use. I’m sure you will love it. You will need you buy a decent speed memory card, though (Class 4-6 minimum). I recommend the Sandisk Ultra II or Extreme III in SD or SDHC…2-4GB minimum.
Vivitar is not a great brand…
p.s. make sure you attach the wrist strap as soon as you get it. These little cameras can get a little slippery at times and it’s your insurance against dropping it.
A small case is also a good idea. It helps protect the camera from being damaged and prevents the LCD screen from getting scratched when not in use. To clean the LCD screen, just use a fine microfibre cloth (one that’s designed for spectacles or glass).
that review quote by charles is just about right… most canon compacts perform well…UNTIL you have to use the flash. then it really slows. but not real bad…and im sure not as bad as your current camera. This is not to this specific camera…canon has pretty much always had slow performance when the flash is involved. is it a slight irratation? yes… would i or anyone change image quality for faster times? no way! this camera excells when it comes to taking pictures…especially daytime outside or well-lit shots.
good luck!
