If you’re in the market for a digital camera to give as a Christmas present, or just needing one for yourself, the Canon Powershot SD1100IS is currently being offered at a nice discount. Why is this camera a good deal?

The list of features for this Canon model is impressive when you stop to consider this is a camera currently costing less than $160. Here’s a sample of what Canon has built into this particular camera:

• 8.0 megapixel digital ELPH
• 3x optical zoom and image stabilizer for high resolution pictures that won’t blur with camera movement
• Weighs only 4.5 ounces, making it easy to handle and store in a purse or backpack
• Canon face detection technology takes care of focusing and exposure
• 2.5 inch color LCD II gives you superior viewing
• A print/share button helps make downloading and printing off pictures a breeze

The SD1100 IS comes in 5 optional colors. We found this to be very good all-around camera for the family. It was very user friendly and took good pictures. It’s another quality product from the Canon line that is well worth checking out, especially at the discount that is being offered.
