Full Aperture

I wanted a new digital camera because my old one just kept taking worse pictures over the years, so I decided to get this Canon PowerShot. I read on Amazon.co.uk that it had some nice features and that it was one of the best in its price range. Right now, I definitely think that is a true statement.

There might not be a view finder feature on this camera, but the auto mode works just as well and makes it so the settings change for each picture to get the best quality possible. I honestly never take it off of auto mode because it is so accurate. It allows me to look for what I want to take a picture of rather than trying to get the settings just right.

Unlike most of the cameras in this price range, the flash on the SD1300IS is absolutely fantastic because it really does make pictures in darker lighting look great. I have used quite a few point and shoot cameras and none of them had a flash that was as good as this one is. Not having to worry about the flash actually ruining pictures is a very nice change.

The stock battery is the only thing that I can complain about because it doesn’t last very long compared to other digital camera batteries that I have used. I am always confused by the reasoning behind including a sub par battery and then offering a better battery for extra money. Don’t get me wrong, though. The battery is okay and I haven’t run into a situation yet where I need the better one. I just think they could have offered the better one with the package.

I am very happy that I chose to buy the PowerShot SD1300IS because it does everything that I need it to do and it is very easy to use. There are a lot of reason why I would recommend this camera over a lot of the other ones; the main one being that it is user friendly so you can just focus on shooting pictures instead of getting all of the settings right. For this price, there is no reason to get anything else.
