Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot SD1300IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD (Green)Customer Review: Excellent point-n-shoot overall Summary: 4 Stars
Got this camera for myself so I could stick it in my pocket and take it with me on weekend trips, etc. We have used it in Yosemite (outdoor shots in the snow, etc.), inside Black Chasm Cavern (cave with not much lighting), at Daffodil Hill (outdoor area with lots of daffodil flowers and scenic shots), and a variety of other locations. While it is not a "professional" camera (it is "just" a point-n-shoot model) I have been pretty pleased with the performance overall. Like all point-n-shoots, it suffers when shooting something that is moving quickly or when holding it in a dark environment with the flash turned off. Using a mini-tripod helps in the latter situation. I really like the widescreen mode for still shots, works well (frames the shot better) for many situations, especially outdoors.
I will note that the shots I got in the cavern actually turned out generally better than an amateur photographer I was with who was using an SLR. I was very careful to hold the camera steady in this somewhat low-light condition and tried to brace it on a railing, etc., to minimize movement while taking the photo. Also tried using the black and white setting in the cavern and liked those results as well.
I haven't played with many of the more detailed settings extensively.
I have run the battery down a couple times so far and the only complaint I have is that the battery seems to hold a charge well for maybe 200 photos or so (wasn't really paying attention to the number), however it seems to lose charge relatively quickly (battery indicator stays on full for quite a while, then drops *relatively* quickly instead of "smoothing" out the charge indicator drop over time). A minor inconvenience and might be something that changes with multiple charges and discharges of the battery. Not anything serious, a VERY minor compaint but I thought I would mention it. I also bought a spare battery for longer trips so I have only used each battery once or twice so far. They seem to charge quickly with the included wall charger.
Suffers slightly in the same general areas as other point-n-shoot cameras, but I really like it overall. Been very pleased with the performance.
