Have all the fun you want with Canon’s ultra-compact, durable and powerful digital camera - the PowerShot SD1200 IS! Its 10.0-megapixels of imaging power lets you create incredible quality and photos of family and friends.

It also offers faster, more accurate noise reduction at higher ISO speeds, and incorporates iSAPS technology to improve image focus and color balance. The New Face Self-Timer allows you to get into the picture with the camera waiting until it recognizes an additional face before taking the shot.
Red-eye can be eliminated automatically or manually within the camera. Smart AUTO intelligently lets you capture the best shots easily by selecting the proper settings automatically for your photos from the 18 predefined shooting situations. Capture the special moments in your life with the PowerShot SD1200!
Pros: Well made. Compact. Has viewfinder. Makes beautiful pictures. Cheap SD memory. No software necessary to upload pics to Win XP or Vista
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I bought this to replace a Canon S-400 which died after 7 years of faithful service.To calm any concerns, This camera uses the same plastic battery door as the old S-400 which I used extensively. The door never broke or caused me any problems. I bought the light Gray version of this from Newegg.

Pros: This is a tiny little camera that fits easily into a small purse or a shirt or pants pocket. When you walk around with it, it nearly disappears in your hand and does not "show" when you wish to take quick, unnoticed pictures.
The camera works very well and is ready to shoot in an instant. The automatic feature functions perfectly, but so do the other features.
Its menus are logical and easy to understand and apply. Picture quality is great, and with a 4Gig card you have plenty of space to work with. Battery life is excellent.
Cons: None I can think of.
Other Thoughts: Canon excels!

Pros: Digic 4 processor makes the lens auto focus FAST and the pictures come out great. Very pocket-able and easy to use. Put it on auto and it'll do everything for itself just fine. If you don't want to take a photography class to learn how to use your camera, or spend 1k-3K dollars on a DSLR camera, this is the best camera for you.
Cons: If you're looking for pro tools in a point and shoot this is not for you.
Other Thoughts: get combo deal 322303 with the Zeikos accessories. Comes with a higher capacity battery, a mini flexible tripod, and enough lcd screen cover to cover the screens of all your devices with LCD.

Good Camera for College

Pros: Coming from a Visual Arts student at PSU: -Compact. Well, duh, but it's worth saying. -The camera itself feels very tightly knit and sturdy. There are no flimsy dials, and I'm not afraid to put it in my pocket or toss it into my backpack. -The picture quality is pretty nice as far as point n' shoots go. I'm currently using it to capture simple stock photos for graphic design projects and to document my work. Also excellent to bring to get-togethers or parties to document everything that's going on. -Long battery life, at least from my experience. You can turn off the display with a built in button -Piggybacking off of the display, it has a viewfinder, which is useful in sun or when trying to conserve battery.
Cons: -Bundled software is kind of annoying -Auto-Mode is hit or miss. I find that if I need to really quickly take a picture without adjusting to my preferred settings on manual-mode, it's a nice backup button. However, I'd suggest against using it as your primary setting. -The cover for the USB-in is a little awkward. Not flimsy as mentioned in the other review, but just a little tedious. The rest of the camera makes up for this inconvenience.
Other Thoughts: I bought this camera as a pre-req to buying a DSLR next year. I wanted to convenience of a point and shoot, but the quality to supplement a nice SLR until I got really needed one. Being a college student, I needed all this for as cheap as possible. After weighing my options, I decided to go with this camera, and I could not be any happier. While it's not terribly flashy, it has just enough features to supply me with the picture I want every time. Pick up a four gig SD card and a simple Case Logic case, and you're good to go.
