| I recently purchased a Canon Powershot SD | | | | of a flower outside, and it looks professional. I put |
| 1200-IS. It is a small handheld camera that comes | | | | it on the macro setting and got close to a bee |
| in a variety of vibrant colors. So far, it's a great | | | | pollinating the flower, and honestly it looks like it |
| camera. | | | | belongs in a magazine. |
| The lens is powerful, even though it's compact. I | | | | This was within 24 hours of purchasing it, which |
| love it for the most part, though I wish it could | | | | shows how easy it is to master. |
| get a little closer for my macro shots. The flash is | | | | The camera has many outdoor settings such as |
| strong and it takes decent pictures in low-light | | | | kids, fireworks, night, sports, etc. These are great |
| situations. I think this camera is best for someone | | | | for beginners who aren't sure what setting is |
| who wants a point-and-shoot, but also someone | | | | necessary for their environment. The camera is |
| who wants to be able to customize the settings. | | | | economical with a price of $150 when I got it. |
| They have a Program function, where you can | | | | Another feature that I really appreciate is the IS. |
| customize things like the ISO, zoom, width of | | | | IS means image stabilization. This is a great help |
| pictures, pixels, colors, etc. | | | | for people with shaky hands, such as myself. It's |
| Overall, this is a great camera by Canon, with | | | | hard to get a blurry picture because of hand |
| images coming out crystal clear. The camera does | | | | movement with this camera. I do not regret |
| best in situations in outdoor light. I took a picture | | | | buying this camera at all. |
