Green Canon SD1200 IS Reviews
The Best Camera We've Ever Had
We've owned a Canon SD630 and some other named cameras in the past. The SD630 is an awesome camera which never gave us any trouble. It would occasionally flash when it shouldn't causing the picture to be washed out, but it is a great camera.
We purchased the SD1200IS because the initial plan was to give the SD630 to an older family member who isn't always keen on trying something new. But, when this idea was run across my wife, she made it clear to me that she didn't want to get rid of the SD630 because it was sentimental to her.
After using the new SD1200IS, my wife quickly fell in love with it. The camera takes phenomenal pictures every time. Neither of us are photo experts. The camera is set to auto and away we go. The camera makes little noises inside adjusting to the scene and picture you are taking at the time. There is a date stamp you can use which is visible when you take your photo.
Our older Canon had a setting where you could leave it on the review mode and if the power button was accidentally pressed, the lens would not open out. This one does not have that feature. So, if you ever accidentally press the power button, the lens will open out.
Overall we are very happy with our new camera. We have a small child and we love taking pictures with our new camera.
I would recommend the SD1200 IS to everyone. It is easy to operate and takes great pictures.
* The ability to use a 16GB HDSC card! Pure heaven...especially since I take close to 1000 pictures a month of the kidlet! The 600 can handle a 2GB card which fits a lot of photos, and I rarely am away from home for so long that I can't offload the pictures...but I love having space and 16GB is enough to take tons of pictures and long videos without having to edit/delete photos while you go.
* Some Auto flash shots turned out way better than I expected. Our living room is about 18' long and often dark. I just took a quick test shot from the kitchen and it lit up the entire room like daylight! * Most of the menu options are the same as my 600 so the learning curve wouldn't be too high.
* I do like the specific play button (instead of it being on the slider bar). * This camera takes the easiest and best macro photos of any I've ever owned. Pure awesome. (But how often do I need that? Not very.)
* I love that it's available in colors. Silver tends to get lost in the shuffle of mess on the counters or in a bag. But colors really stand out so it's easier to find quickly.
