I am planning to buy a camera. I have hear ed a lot about Canon Powershot SD1100 IS. Is this camera worth to buy. I had read some reviews that it has low light and night shots are not that good ? Please advice me? Also let me know if there is any better camera. My budget is around $200.

The PowerShot SD1100 IS does a great job as your take-everywhere camera. Choice of camera body color, 8mp resolution, heaps of preset scene settings and really easy to use but its not a Powershot G10 or anything so it will struggle in tough conditions in full auto mode. The preset scene settings can often help overcome this. Its a good idea to try out these presets before a crucial moment to get a feel for what works best in what conditions.
As an alternative and still for under $200 you could look at the SD770IS, it is up at 10mp resolution, very similar to the SD1100IS in most ways but with higher image quality.
Both are great cameras though…
Hope this helps…
Yes, Canon makes a really good camera, I own an older model of the powershot A40 model. It has been good, my complaint is once you take a picture it takes to long to get ready to take another picture.
I recently bought a new Panasonic camera, (mainly because I wanted a camera I could put in my pocket) it’s been a great camera and came with some really nice software too. I did a review of the camera at http://www.tvandcamera.com Take a look before you buy the cannon.
AS for point and shoot, Canon does a great job…I have two Canons, never had a problem with either. The SD1100 is selling for 160.00 here. Canon makes point and shoots of quality to rival the best cameras on the market…the G10 is unbelievable! 14 megapixel, fantastic range of lens (28-140mm equivalent to film 35 mm). This camera has been compared to a Hassleblad and come out very favorable! (40,000.00 camera !) The G10 sells for about 450.00 Canon makes a broad range of point and shoots to meet all budgets.
Canon Powershot SD1100 IS is great
Thanks
