Hands-on with the Canon Powershot SD1100IS ultra-thin cameraBy Matthew Ruiz, 1 February 2008
Canon's latest PowerShot adds a face tracking feature and not much else, and we're strangely OK with it.

Canon Powershot SD1100 IS Specs »  Gallery »
Canon Powershot SD1100 IS The Canon SD1100 IS is a superbly designed camera with a style that looks great and, even better, actually makes the camera easier to use. We loved the inclusion of an optical viewfinder - long the holy grail of compact cameras features here at infoSync - even if it's only a pinhole viewfinder and not truly optical. It's still a lot better than an electronic one. Still, the SD1100 IS isn't quite feature rich, but it makes up for that with great image quality, particularly in its deep color-rendering. For those who prefer good images over niftiness, the SD1100 IS could be a good choice. Release: March 2008. Price: $150.
Pros: Excellent design. Pinhole viewfinder. Great image quality.
Cons: Small LCD screen. Slight problems with fringing. Not a feature-set dynamo.
