Anyone who’s a bit more serious about photography should check out the short video below.
Benefits And Drawbacks Of the Powershot SD1200 IS
No product is perfect. And as you’ll learn in this Powershot SD1200 IS review, neither is this little digicam.
Ready? Then let’s start. First the Pro, in favor of/in support of:
The number one point in support for the powershot sd1200 is will be it’s small size..
A second point in favor can be the high picture quality.
The 3rd supporting point shall be the fact that it’s quite fast for such a small point and shoot camera..
A 4th support point in favor will be the optical viewfinder. This will save your batteries and you can still use the camera should the display not work..
And last (but not necessarily least) we have the 5th point in support of the Powershot SD1200 IS. Namely, the ease of use. No need to read the entire manual before you can start taking great pictures..
And on the other hand, to help keep this balanced, there’s Con; Against:
Firstly, the point against will be it’s problems with low light conditions..
The 2nd point against will be the fact that some of the cameras seem to take more blurry pictures than other cameras..
The third point in contra is going to be it’s build. It feels a bit cheap compared to other Powershot cameras..
4th point in contra will be You will need to test different settings and read the manual if you want to be able to take good pictures in bad lighting situations..
And 5th and last, but not necessarily the least, consideration against is choosing the color you like. Choosing between black and black is easy, but the Powershot SD1200 IS comes in several fun colors, making your decision a lot harder..
Now both sides have been heard from and the Pros and Cons are stacked up, in favor and against.
So, within a final analysis is the powershot sd1200 IS a good camera or a bad camera?
Both questions appear to have a “yes” answer! The Powershot sd1200 IS is a mix of of good and bad… You , the reader will have to determine which side, the good or the bad, outweighs the other…
Underwaterphotography With The Canon Powershot SD1200 IS(Digital Camera Battery)
Underwaterphotography is not just for expert divers anymore. More and more manufacturers are including a waterproof model in their range, like the Canon Powershot D10 for example.
Does that mean you’ll need to get rid of your trustworthy Canon Powershot SD1200 IS if you want to get wet? Absolutely not!
Depending on how serious you are about swimming/diving, you have two options; a flexible case or a hard plastic case.
Less Than 16ft/5m Deep
For snorkling and swimming pool fun the flexible Canon Powershot SD1200 IS waterproof case will do the trick. The case looks a bit like a Ziploc bag, but don’t let that fool you.
It has a special UV coated polycarbonate lens to ensure your pictures are extra clear.
The waterproof case floats, so you won’t have to keep a death grip on your camera out of fear that it’ll end up at the bottom of the ocean.
More Than 16ft/5m Deep

Underwater mode and built-in flash
The Canon WP-DC29 waterproof case for the Powershot SD1200 IS is a lot more expensive than the above solution. But you will need something more sturdy to withstand the water pressure if you dive deeper than 16ft/5m.
You can even add an external water-resistant power pack.
Not only is the difference in price significant, there’s a size difference as well. You’ll want to take this into consideration as well as the Canon WP-DC29 waterproof case will take up quite a bit of space in your luggage.
The Powershot SD1200 and Blurry Pictures – How To Stay Focused
Are you getting blurry pictures with your Powershot SD1200?
It’s important to realize that just about any point and shoot camera will take blurry pictures from time to time. Heck I even manage to get blurry pictures with my Canon D350 when I’m not paying enough attention to what I’m doing.
There are a few things you can try to improve the crispness of your pictures though.
First of all, stop zooming in all the time. Most pictures that end up out of focus are taken when zoomed in all the way. If you can, get closer to the subject. In most cases where you use a point and shoot camera that won’t be a problem.
gorillapodpowershotsd1200blurrypicturesSecondly, use a tripod. For most people it’s hard to keep a camera absolutely still. And the image stabilizer can only do so much. Using a tripod or anything else to steady the camera will greatly improve the crispness of your pictures. Especially when using the zoom feature.
And third, try different settings. Low light conditions will benefit from higher ISO. And using the flash will “freeze” the subject. If you don’t like the way your pictures turn out with flash, you can adjust them on your computer to make the colors look more natural.
These are just a few quick and easy tips to get the most out of your Powershot SD1200.
Powershot SD1200 – Excellent Compact Point and Shoot
I found another Powershot SD1200 review I wanted to share with you. I’ll also be giving you my take on some of the reviewers comments.
Here it goes:
“Overall, I think this is a great compact camera and is invaluable for the spontaneous people shots that capture those special moments in life. It won’t take pictures worthy of National Geographic (meaning it won’t replace a dSLR), but it fills in well when a large camera is just too much equipment to be carrying around. “
In other words, it does exactly what Canon wanted it to do. And if you happen to stumble across bigfoot on one of your vacations, even a snapshot taken with a click and shoot camera like the sd1200 will end up on the cover of National Geographic 
“Mostly, the camera suffers from its diminutive size. It doesn’t offer much in terms of artistic controls, but does a very good job of making those decisions most of the time. This makes it ideal for the weekend snapshot photographer who wants to take good photos without much more than hitting a shutter button! Great all purpose camera, everyday camera.”
You really can’t expect such a small and inexpensive camera to have more controls. However, if you would go to the trouble of reading the full manual that’s on the cd, you’ll discover this little digicam has more features than most users realize. For example, when you set it to program mode, you can adjust the exposure and ISO values. I also found that the quality of my photos got even better once I started using p mode with -1/3 exp and 1 click up on the contrast and saturation under custom colors.
Play with the settings at home, so you know which ones to use when you go on a holiday or to a once in a lifetime party.
A Pink Digital Camera For Fashionista’s
You know, technology is great. In case of cameras, advanced features can really improve your photos. But why does it usually come in a boring black, grey or silver package?
I mean, do those manufacturers really think people like Carrie from Sex and the City would want to be seen with a dull black camera that clashes with their outfit? Of course not, she would prefer a pink digital camera for example. Or a lime green one. Or perhaps even a blue one…
Looks like some of those manufacturers have listened to us. Or maybe they’re simply following in the footsteps of Apple and their immensely popular iPod (which is available in lots of fun colors).
Hey, maybe you could get the same color camera as your iPod 
Panasonic, Samsung, Sony and Canon have all come up with their own version of a pink digital camera. Most types of digital cameras that are available in pink are also available in other fun colors like lime green, blue or even bright red (how’s that for a fashion statement?).
Obviously each pink digital camera will have a few different features. But the pink color itself also varies from one type to the next.
Digital Compact Camera – Viewfinder Should Be Standard
I was going over one of my favorite forums and came across this post about the usefulness of a digital compact camera viewfinder.
Here are the most important reasons to get a digital compact camera with a viewfinder:
“I often find that in bright light the LCD is too hard to see and a view finder would be better and at night time the LCD is far to bright and shows nothing without enough ambient light.”
Being able to turn of the LCD and use the viewfinder in these situations is perfect. You can always use the LCD afterwards in better lighting conditions to check your photo.
“Even with a large LCD it is pretty hard to see details. That said, with the exception of SLRs, most viewfinders are a compromize – they typically show only 80 – 85% of what is actually captured. But that’s better than guessing with an LCD.”
Honestly, if you want to do more than take a quick snap shot, you’ll need a viewfinder. For example, if you want to take a picture of a bicycle riding by with a blurred background, it’ll be almost impossible to follow the action by moving the camera and taking a photo with the LCD screen.
“I also find optical view finders very helpful because it’s so much easier to steady the camera by bracing it against your face”
Digital cameras with some kind of image stabilizing technology will also help in gettign sharp shots.
“If you need reading glasses to focus on small images you will find it very difficult to determine whether what you see in the monitor is sharp without putting on your readers.”
As you can see, there are several benefits to having a digital compact camera viewfinder.
Unfortunately for us consumers, most manufacturers choose to build compact cameras without viewfindersDigital Camera Battery.
Best Places To Buy Canon Powershot Cameras
Sure, you could hit the first store you see to buy a Canon Powershot camera. But in this economy, do you really want to risk paying too much for your brand new digicam?
This morning I found a news article on the best places to buy digital cameras. I always bought my camera stuff at a speciality store, but that will be changing now. Especially seeing as I could have saved $50 on Powershot SD1200 IS.
Here’s what’s mentioned in the article:
“Unless you shop at a local camera specialty store, we found that your best bet for buying a digital camera is to seal the deal online. Your neighborhood electronics emporium may not have the camera you’re looking for in-house, but you can likely find that model on the store’s Website.”
A camera speciality store will have close to every product available. Unfortunately, the price can reflect this.
“In our examination, Web-only outlets fared extremely well, with Amazon leading the pack in selection and pricing.”
