Opinions from the Canon PowerShot A1100 IS

Advantages: A big plus is compactness – you put it in your jacket pocket and walk calmly with empty hands. There is macro photography. For me, even a bit too much function – you can shoot at night with a long exposure, the main thing is to find a level place if there is no tripod.
Disadvantages: Now I do not have enough GPS, when they bought it for me (I'm afraid to say) when it was, we did not pay attention to it.
Disadvantages: Great budget model. Use lithium batteries instead of alkaline (alkaline) batteries. In Voronezh, AA lithium batteries cost about 100 rubles. The batteries did not work with us – they quickly discharge, like alkaline (alkaline) batteries.

Ivanov Dimma


Pluses: Wonderful photos and videos were made by the fotik !!! A camera from Nikon made a video with a rattle – when playing a video on a camera … And Canon Power shot A 1100 is takes everything, both photos and videos Great!
Disadvantages: Ah, I inserted a simple battery instead of a battery-battery – and it leaked !!! In the repair service I gave it for repairs, but they said – the alkali from the leaked battery flooded the matrix – the Canon power shot a 1100 is camera will not lie down for restoration! What a pity – I used it for many years !!!

Nabatova Ariadna


Advantages: cool camera, clear photos are obtained, video is also not bad, does not make noise, the machine can withstand all balances at an acceptable price for such a camera
Disadvantages: runs on rechargeable batteries
Disadvantages: perfect camera, most of all I liked from canon and nikon cameras among these prices, I checked it myself on my own experience

buldakov mikhail


Advantages: MiniUSB plug, replaceable batteries, small size.
Disadvantages: poor color rendition with insufficient lighting
Disadvantages: For two years the device has seen a lot. Withstood everything. Both frost and humidity. It even fell into the water. It did not disappoint.

Gorev Yan


Pluses: Convenient management.
Disadvantages: After I got a DSLR, I began to compare the quality of photos from it and from this point-and-shoot camera, but it turned out that there was nothing to compare. Terrible noise even at ISO 80, no dynamic range, bad colors, at full zoom when shooting distant objects – full soap, fat jpeg artifacts. Sits down very quickly. Powered by AA cells, not from a Li-ion battery.
Disadvantages: Not good for anything, except that macro under certain lighting conditions, apart from noise, turns out to be normal.

Kalachev Petr


Advantages: AA batteries, USB-miniUSB wire, included a cable for connecting to a TV, SD card, image stabilizer, manual settings! viewfinder, viewing photos without the lens, auto-rotate photos when viewing, speaker (when viewing videos)
Disadvantages: batteries run out with a flash, auto mode only for photos like “I'm at the dacha”. Up to ISO 400 there is practically no noise, at ISO 800 (shooting at night) there is little ripple, but for such a matrix this is the norm.
Disadvantages: Decent model for its price! I was looking for myself, but so that parents could take photos on vacation without problems … Manual settings are not chic, but enough. It's better not to put the car, although my parents take good pictures even in auto mode! Photos are bright, clear, but at night it is not the same. In general, I recommend!

Chusovitin Ilya


Advantages: normal video (for fotik), AA batteries, compact
Disadvantages: very bad photos, batteries are eaten instantly (this is for all similar devices)
Disadvantages: it used to be A-80, the pictures are clearer, with a matrix 3 times smaller, I bought it instead of the broken A-80 (the matrix was covered), after a free repair (the matrices of this model were recognized as defective) I got rid of it, now I use the phone as a soap dish (better quality than A-1100)

Filippov Aleksandr


Advantages: where from ?!
Disadvantages: short-sighted focusing of the lens – the boundaries of objects are very blurred. With zoom, myopia progresses exponentially!
Disadvantages: I appeal to (censorship) that they made this piece of … plastic, in short: employees of the Malaysian photo camera factory, go to your Malaysian ophthalmologist and, before taking cameras, check your Malaysian cross-eyed vision with him. And for one thing and to an orthopedist – with hands, too, you need to decide something.

Pluses: Photos of excellent quality are obtained. In auto modes, everything is well defined, iso does not bully. Very pleased with the fotik. I have been using it for 2 years already.
Disadvantages: The 4x zoom is too small. The batteries run low quickly, but I bought batteries and now there is no problem.

Dmitry Krupnin


Advantages: The only advantage is that this is the famous March
Disadvantages: It consumes a lot of energy, often the photos are blurry, the computer is slow, In bright light (lighting), the pictures are bad.
Disadvantages: Previously, there was also a CANON A70-class device, I bought this one, I thought that it was a good continuation of the glorious traditions of CANON, it turned out that I was thinking in vain. It cannot be placed next to the previous device.
