Why I Love This Camera

34 Helpfuls 35 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good quality pictures, Long battery life, Low price
Cons Uses expensive Memory Stick media
Recommended it? Yes

It's not everyday that I'm impressed with a particular digital camera. In fact, I come across several digital cameras monthly due to the nature of my hobby. Last month, I worked with the DSC-W50 to photograph some cars for a local automobile dealer. Having already worked with the DSC-W30, I wasn't... Read full review »

Pros Better than it's more expensive predecessors. Fixes key faults.
Cons Television real-estate hucksters. Camera? No cons, really. Good value for price.
Recommended it? Yes

I've been a DSC-T1 owner for about 2.5 years now I guess, and I've had a chance to run the DSC-W50 through its paces and see how they stack up. The DSC-T1 broke new ground with its deck-of-cards form factor, and, I must say, despite my aging Nikon Coolpix 995's vastly superior indoor flash... Read full review »

Pros Simple to use, Great photos, Auto mode does a great job
Cons Slight shutter lag, Trouble taking clear photos in low light
Recommended it? Yes

I have always had good experiences with Canon cameras and the Canon PowerShot SD1200 is no exception. This 10-megapixel camera is small, lightweight, very easy to use and produces some really great pictures. The only downside is that like a lot of Canon point-and-shoot cameras, there is a...

Canon PowerShot Digital Elph SD1200 IS 10-Megapixel Compact Digital Camera - Good In Any Color

Pros Price, size, image stabilization, looks, large screen, fast operation, great photos,...
Cons Slightly blurry corners, no manual control over aperture or shutter speed
Recommended it? Yes

Canon is never standing still. You can count on your Canon camera to produce good pictures, but you can also count that in less than a year a new model that replaces the one you have will appear on the market. Such is the case with the new Canon SD1200 IS that replaces the previous model, Canon... Read full review »
