This camera is a fantastic buy. Small, convenient, reasonable settings. It's about everything you could want in a point-and-shoot digital camera that can fit in your pocket.
The BEST feature of the Canon SD 1100IS is how QUICKLY it turns out! Almost instant! Within a blink of an eye the camera is on and ready to take pics. Just as quick between pics too!! My old camera must have had a 5 second delay at least! The camera is very small too! Fits in my back jeans pocket so i can carry it everywhere! Its less bulky than my cell phone! Weighs about the same as my cell phone too, even with the battery in.
The main issue I have heard of with the PowerShot SD1100 is with potential lens harm if the camera turns on accidentally while in it's case. It's pretty hard to do since Canon has now made this on/off button flush with the body. But, my best advice to avoid this situation is to make sure the camera is in play mode (vs. camera mode) when you put it back in the case.
Oh, and almost forgot, I love the size of the screen - its definitely larger viewing then my old cannon however it still has a viewfinder - which i find important when owning a camera - sometimes in the dark, using the big screen is useless, you can't see anything on it, or sometimes when you ask other people to take a picture of you - they are not used to using a digital camera yet- this allows them to use the viewfinder like a regular camera and take a decent photo.
I highly recommend this camera!!
