Already the verwacklungsgeschützte auto setting will easily cope with the most shots. Who this is not enough, you can go into "P" for programs between countless manual settings such as page size, continuous shooting, face detection including Smile feature, portrait, sports and wildlife photos, Panorama Assist, Night Scene, to a fireworks display. After an acclimatization period of two to three days succeed almost all Fotos- not only with the automatic function. The exact datasheet of this camera can be read elsewhere on the Internet.
There is of course no doubt that the small but select Canon IXUS 1100 HS ultimately can not compete in any shooting situation with professional Spiegelrefex cameras, but for the discerning amateur photographers, the not in the mood then, a large SLR or lugging means camera including expensive interchangeable lenses with them, the IXUS 1100 HS is an almost optimal camera with which you can also record videos in HD quality shake-up to a length of ten minutes. A high quality cam corder replaces the IXUS 1100 HS naturally only in "normal", but not with professional standards.
The prepared by Canon price of EUR 390.00 will undercut loosely around 100 ordering through Amazon and other online sellers.
The few downside of this camera are in my opinion not worth mentioning: Unfortunately, there is a supplied SD card, which is commercially available for a few Euros but is available. Also missing a bag in the standard specification. However, this is on Amazon, inter alia provider to have the 22,00. But she is made of genuine leather and is like the camera of elegant design and high quality workmanship. Depending on the supplier, the manual is not available on the installation CD in German, also not in paper form. The German-speaking and very clearly written manual with 209 pages, however, can be downloaded from the Canon site on the Internet for free as a PDF file, not to be confused with the also downloadable 71-page manual "Getting Started" Priced at 13.00 the entire Manual with its 209 pages is also available in hard copy at the Canon site.
Conclusion: The Canon IXUS 1100 HS is an ideal camera for ambitious amateur photographers!
