The PowerShot A1100 IS is an entry-level point and shoot digital camera from Canon. The A1100 IS features a 12.1 megapixel DIGIC IV image processor, a 4x optical zoom lens and is compatible with standard AA batteries. Users can set up their shots using either the 2.5” LCD screen or the built-in optical viewfinder. Canon has implemented a “Smart Auto” mode with scene detection, which automatically adjusts focus, exposure, ISO sensitivity, flash, dynamic range and contrast to improve image quality. This camera also includes the ability to detect faces and automatically reduce red-eye so one does not have to spend as much time editing images afterwards. Users can also record standard-definition video with sound in addition to taking photos. The PowerShot A1100 IS is available in blue, pink or silver finish.
