Customer Review: i love my camera
THe features of this camera is what sold me. 6x zoom, 12 mp, standard batteries, plus the ability to zoom while in movie mode. That says it all for me.
Customer Review: The Best in Its Class!
I take pictures of meetings and wanted a pocket camera with good low light handling because some people in the meetings don't like to be disturbed by flash. I have owned and still own many pocket size digital cameras. But I end up having to carry my bulky SLR to the meetings because the pocket cameras don't handle low light well. Another feature I want is the convenience of AA batteries instead of those special types. A2100IS meets both of my needs. Other features, such as face detection, auto white balance, and button locations, are really great too. Why did I remove one star? The low light pictures are still noisy, though acceptable (for the price). The flash does not reach far enough, so when I got a chance to use flash for a group of 8 people today against light, the picture turned out to be less satisfactory than the one without flash. You would normally expect dark faces without flash since it was against light, but the low light handling (along with face detection) turned out to work better than flash shooting. This is Canon's cheaper model, so they delay applying the more recent technology. A larger CCD like the one they use for SD990 (1/1.7"), plus a larger lens (f2.8 or better) would make this camera a dream. If SD990IS uses AA batteries, I would have already bought it. Still, this camera is the best in its class and price range. If you don't care about AA batteries and rather have a smaller and lighter camera to carry, and don't mind a spending little more money, consider SD990IS.
