5 Stars Dependable and Long-Lasting
I have owned two Canon brand XTi camera batteries since 2006, when I purchased my Rebel XTi camera. I use the camera a LOT: I also do real estate photography in addition to my own photography. After heavy use, the batteries are only now starting to show their age. It is well worth the extra cost for the Canon brand.

3 Stars Not a long life, sudden failure curve
At first this battery worked amazingly well, I would take a lot of pictures and not seem to dent it’s charge. As a family camera, it did not see heavy use. Then after about 2 years it started to tank. More frequently it needed charging, then it would only last like 40 shots, then less, then it doesn’t even run the camera.

You might say I should be happy with 2 years, but I have a Kodak P&S digital camera with a built in NMIH battery that I bought in 2001 and its still got the original battery about 9 years later, and it works.

I expected more by paying top dollar for Cannon.

5 Stars Better buy a Canon battery and no substitute!
I purchased a battery from a non-canon dealer for my Canon EOS Digital and was very disappointed! The batter lasted about 6 months and wouldn’t hold a charge anymore. My Canon original battery kept hopping like the energizer bunny! I purchased the original equipment the second time for a little more money but am very happy with my purchase. Don’t accept substitutes!!!

4 Stars Battery Review
The new Canon battery seems to work fine. The delivery took several days even though I paid substantially extra for quicker delivery.

5 Stars What can I say – it keeps my Camera working
If you plug this amazing device into the bottom of your Canon DSLR – it will allow you to continue taking photos! Assuming you have available Memory for said photos.

When inserted into my DSLR, I was able to switch the Camera to ON and have the nice LCD Screen on the back come alive with information.

3 Stars Good for outdoors… I’ts an OK camera not an amazing one
I bought the New A 1100 IS because for being stupid I just gave away my A740 which I loved… I needed to have something portable and easy to carry around. So I decided I wanted to try this little one and take it with me to Italy because I didn’t want to walk around with the big SLR.

So I have to say is not bad if the weather conditions help with ntural light. On cloudy days the image quality is not the best, but in sunny days the pictures come out beautifully. The camera can be really slow in low light conditions and even that it has an image stabilization if you move a bit the image comes out blurry. It has no super macro setting like the A 470, but the macro setting is not bad. This camera eats the batteries really fast, it works better with rechargeable batteries, Other wise be ready to change batteries every 30 minutes. The indoors setting works ok. The view finder is good to have but if you use lots of zoom the picture comes out diferently than what you see through the view finder, so be careful with that.. I would say this is an OK camera, not an amazing camera.

In general I was more happy with my A 470 I shoulded not give it away!!!

5 Stars What a great camera!
Gave this to my wife earlier this year. She is using it constantly and it takes great pictures.

Pro’s: Takes great pictures, even in low light. Super detail.

Con’s: It takes about a second for the focus to settle, If you just mash the button, you get and out of focus picture.

I’d still rate it as an excellent camera since most of the competition also has this usability flaw.

4 Stars Canon PowerShot A1100IS
Good Camera for the money. Pictures OK, a little on the flat side, could be a little more vivid, more contrast. Dose pretty good with kids (fewer blurred shots). Battery life seems a little short (Uses cheap AA Rechargeable though). Fits in your pocket!

5 Stars Excellent buy – You cannot go wrong with it.
I recently got this camera to gift it to my sister. While I got a chance to play with it I could not stop short of exclaiming Wow’s.

I regularly use my DSLR, but the ease-of-use provided by this camera has got me into thinking of buying one for myself.

Though Canon stopped providing Manual exposure controls Av, Tv, M, … on their lower-end point-and-shoots the pictures still come out pretty good.

There is a Program Exposure feature which can be played with to your liking.

The optical IS is a boon and I have come to appreciate its value since I have wasted quite a lot of photos on my DSLR as I cannot hold the camera still enough while the shutter has been opened.

Hopefully Canon starts making the A590IS series which now sell for more than $200. In the meantime Canon A1100IS is your answer to better photos.

4 Stars Canon camera
Great price. It did not arrive in time for the birthday but I should have changed the shipping rate!
