Great little camera. Perfect for Digital Scrapbooking

I originally purchased a Canon Powershot SD1100 from Walmart a few years ago. I chose it only because it has the fastest shutter speed available. The more I used it, the more I loved it. One of my favorite features is COLOR ACCENT. It allows you to chose one color to keep and the rest of the picture is black and white. It has another feature that I found particularly useful is the COLOR SWAP. I was able to swap my white walls with various colors from paint chips from the stores and see INSTANTLY how it would look. Although I must note that while using these features you must keep the camera VERY still or they will blur. There is a little icon in the left hand corner that lets you know the camera senses minute movement. Using a mini tripod, resting your elbows on a flat surface, or just tucking them in close to your body will produce clear creative pictures.
All the pictures I took with this camera turned out crisp and clear, there was some graininess in low light situations without flash.
My camera has survived a few falls, being used by my Diego-obsessed four year old who loves taking pictures with it.
The camera is small and light, fits comfortably in my pocket and is goes everywhere with me. I have taken some great candid shots because of its great portability.
One thing to note however, you CAN ONLY charge the camera by taking the battery out and putting it in its charger. It CANNOT be charged via USB.
I love this camera. My camera got stolen about 6 months ago and when I went out to purchase a new camera. I researched and shopped but couldnt find any camera that came close to the SD1100. I ended up buying another! I love all of its features, its fast shutter speed, the creative ways you can play with color, its durability and portability. I am a digital scrapper and this camera lends itself so well to my pages. It is the perfect digital scrapbooking camera!
