Canon Sd1200Is – Seems Like The Best Out There For Under $200!
While I have only had my camera a couple of hours, I have logged in many (some may say too many) hours of internet research to find the best small digital camera under $[...] and think I have found it!! I had a Kodak DX7360 and loved it, but it is clunky, and then didn’t survive a night out in the rain on Halloween. Oops! As much as I loved my old Kodak, I have been scared off of purchasing a new Kodak since many many reviews said the pictures were not clear, the shutter time seemed too slow, and that they seemed to just stop working altogether in a matter of months. Seemed like these were similar complaints of Nikon Coolpix, Sony Cybershots, Samsungs and Olympus.
My final options were this Canon SD1200IS, an Olympus Stylus 7010, Casio Ex-S5 and Casio EXZ33. What really sold me on the Canon SD1200IS was the fact that I found awesome reviews from expert websites:
– it made the Dave’s Picks list
– “strong buy” (the highest rating) (Olypus 7010 was only “good buy.”)
– rated the Best Ultra Compact Digital Camera under $200
– rated an A.
Like most people, I didn’t want to buy any camera without actually testing it out. I tested it out at Best Buy, got a few quick pics of my 4 yr old and was totally sold! The camera took crisp pictures immediately. Crisp and quick were my main objectives since I pretty much only take pictures of my 2 and 4 yr old boys who are always on the go! : )
I don’t know about technical details of zoom, digital/optical etc, but was able to shoot a quick, clear image little video of my dog and was able to zoom while recording. A lot of other point and shoot cameras do not have the zoom while recording feature.
I didn’t actually buy this camera from Amazon.com. I still wanted to submit a review though since I’ve pored over the many reviews on this site for this camera and the others I researched. I ended up buying it in person today for the same price at Best Buy(Black Friday)and purchased the Geek Squad Black Tie 2 yr warranty. Although after all the great things I’ve heard about the Canon SD1200IS, the $35 Best Buy protection plan will cover pretty much anything short of actually losing the camera…even if it gets left out in the rain next Halloween. : )
I’ll add to my review in the future if my opinion changes, but so far, this seems like the best quality, easy-to-use, quick and crisp picture taking camera for the money.
