Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS
The SD1100 IS ($200) receives rave reviews for its excellent image quality. Truth be told, I didn’t really notice. What I did notice was that the Canon was cumbersome to use. The zoom ring was flimsy and offered minimal grip. The function buttons were flush-mounted, so they offered little tactile feel. The LCD screen was one of the smallest in the bunch. Navigating the main screen menu was straightforward, but the screen icons for key settings like white-balance and focus mode were poorly labeled. The status of other functions — like flash and macro-mode — was displayed only when those functions were changed. Is the flash on or off? Who knows? That’s the kind of thing it would be nice to be able to check before you snap the shutter.
