Canon PowerShot SD1200IS 10 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD (Dark Gray) Reviews
I had a Canon 7MP elph camera before this one, and had to replace it. This one has excellent features, is lighter and better picture quality than my last one. Image stabilization is great. I tried shaking the camera while taking a picture just to see how it works. The picture was not fuzzy at all. Its really a great buy if you are looking for a light, small camera that can go with you anywhere. Enjoy!
The camera arrived promptly, however; upon using it I found that it had an annoying issue. When turned on in the "auto" program, the lens constantly made noise and the lens would try and focus repeatedly until the shutter button was held down and ultimately take the photo. This did not occur in any other mode.
I returned the camera as I was unsure if it was defective or my dissatisfaction.
Additionally, as other reviewers noted the viewfinder is too small and useless.
It works well. It has all the features I desire in a small camera and still takes VERY good pictures at near SLR quality levels.
If you research lens error and Canon 1200 you'll come up with some interesting stats that may want you to think twice before buying this camera . I wish I had . I got this camera as a gift 3 months ago and have only rceently gotten around to using it . 2 weeks of being used and always keeping it in a case with no damage ,fall or anyhting interesting hapening to it it just plain refuses to work with the msg 'lens error restart camera ' . I won't be buying a canon again
I purchased my Canon SD 1200IS in September, 2009 from Amazon for $160. For the five months that it worked, it worked well. I was careful with it, never near sand nor a beach, never in the rain, kept it in a case. But 5 months later it would not power on, or when I would finally get it to turn on, it would extend the lens and then power down, an even more frustrating situation. I sent the camera in to be repaired while it was under warranty. I then received an estimated repair cost of $118, claiming that it was water damage. Again, the camera was never in the rain, never dropped in water. To my knowledge it was never even damp. If ambient humidity may have caused the problem that is certainly a design flaw and this camera should only be sold in the desert. I had read online that Canon repair had done this same sort of rip off with others and somehow thought that as I knew I'd treated the camera well that my case would not be the same. I am greatly disappointed and will never waste my money on a Canon camera again.
I was extremely disappointed with the durability, or lack thereof, of the camera even with proper care. I was even more disappointed with the outrageous repair estimates that was not even explained by the repair service. As I have seen that others have had the same experience and now learn that one of the cameras I'd given as a gift did the same thing, it is interesting that on Canon's own website the reviews are so glowing. This may have been how I was led to believe it was a good camera in the first place. I have recommended Canon cameras to many of my friends and family and have purchased 5 as gifts in addition to other Canon products (copier, printer/fax, etc.). I will now need to start warning people about Canon's cameras.
