Our Rating: 3 out of 5

If you are looking for a camera that is powerful, but compact, you should take a look at the Canon Powershot SD 11001S. This is a casual camera (not designed for professional photographers), but it is still very powerful.

It takes photos at 8 Mega Pixels, a bit higher than the current standard in the industry. It is small and compact. It is also very easy to use. Having only a small experience using digital cameras (you understand how to turn one on and how to take a picture), you should be able to use the Canon Powershot SD 11001S.

It has advanced digital technologies that allow a beginner to take stunning photographs. It can work in an situation, spanning from a warm sunny day to a dark night (especially with the help of the built-in flash). The camera is fast to startup, so if you need to take a quick shot you won't miss anything.

The Canon Powershot SD 11001S is built out of sturdy aluminum, so it can survive a beating. It includes a bright 2.5” LCD screen for viewing what you are photographing or viewing photographs taken in the past. Most digital cameras these days have around a 2.5” LCD screen, so this feature isn't that exciting.

Although this camera has many high points, it isn't a perfect camera. It is, though, a great camera for the price tag it wears. It isn't great for anyone who is more than the casual photographer. It doesn't offer the extreme control that some photo experts may desire. You shouldn't have a problem if you are just taking photos for fun, though.

You may need to purchase an SD card to go along with this great camera – it can only hold around 240 images on it's own. This is a decent amount, but if you plan on taking many photos before exporting them to your computer you may want to expand. The camera also might have trouble taking images of high-speed situations, such as sporting events. Photographs taken may appear blurry, as with any other camera.

Overall, the Canon Powershot SD 11001S is a powerful camera at a great price. As always, you might seek something more powerful, but this camera should fulfill the needs of a casual photographer.
