Not a bad camera, but...
on November 28, 2010
Posted by: smj
Could be better designed. Got it for a vacation trip and was less than happy with the options and operation. Didn't like the fact that you have to go into the menu to change the zoom, and once it is set, if you want to change it, you have to go back into the menu. Used to buttons on the camera that you can adjust the zoom as you are looking at the object. Also, only 3 levels of zoom. My main issue was that you cannot take ANY pics without a memory card. Used ot cameras that have a small amount of built-in memory.
Pros: decent price
Cons: needs better design
I would recommend this to a friend!

No Image Stabilization!!
on April 9, 2011
Posted by: Jeff
from Syracuse, NY (purchase in Los Angeles)
The specs and even the manual say this camera has image stabilization, but it does not. The menu option is not available. It does not exist. The manual describes it as being between Disp Overlay and Date Stamp. It is not there nor anywhere else, Very difficult to get decent pictures.
Cons: Missing features/settings
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Can't delete photos by date
on May 12, 2010
Posted by: Melissa
I used to have a Canon SD1000, which I loved. This camera appeared to be comparable, but one major issue is that you can't delete photos by date. You either can erase one by one, or all. When I'm out and need to delete photos to make more room, I often want to delete certain dates, but instead I have to waste time sitting and deleting them one by one. I don't understand why Canon wouldn't include that feature on this camera...very disappointing.
Pros: Lightweight/Portable
Cons: Missing features/settings
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

excellent point and shoot
on August 21, 2010
Posted by: Anonymous
This is about the best, compact point and shoot camera available. It only has 4x zoom which can hinder what you are able to capture. Also, the cannon software is difficult to use, but overall the image quality is very good.

clear extreme close ups
on February 9, 2011
Posted by: Queen Purru
from Seattle, WA
My 1st digital camera. I can't say enough good things about it. I wear glasses. My old SLR had to have a special attachment to sort of compensate for that. Not an issue for the wonderful large LCD screen. I've printed photos at a drug store with good results. It has been easy to learn how to use it.
Pros: Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, easy to use

The SD1300 IS camera far exceeds our expectations as casual users. The ease of use, clear photographs, excellent zoom capabilities, outstanding downloading, and sharing via e-mail or print are fantastic qualities.
Pros: good battery life, Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use, zoom capabilities, downloading ease

I researched small cameras on line and found this one had very high marks. The sales person at *** **** said she owned one like this and I couldn't go wrong with it. Boy! Was she right. Best pictures I have ever gotten from a camera. Fantastic prints from my printer. Way to go Canon. Great product.
I carry it every where.

Best Camera I've Bought
on February 9, 2011
Posted by: Sam
from Fort Atkinson, WI
I LOVE this camera. It really is all I was looking for when shopping for a camera. I was originally going to be getting a camera from a different company that I seemed to love but when I saw this one, I knew I would get it.
I got the SD 1300 IS Digital Elph in Green and it is a gorgeous color. I also bought insurance for it when I got it which I would strongly recommend to anyone who takes their camera out anywhere.
I recently sold my SD 1300 IS Digital Elph to a friend because I won a nicer camera in a sweepstakes but I really would recommend this camera to anyone. Great for photo and video.
