Key Advantages

The A1100 IS camera stands out due to its high 12.1 MP resolution sensor, providing clear and detailed photos suitable for printing and cropping.

Its built-in Image Stabilizer significantly reduces blur, especially useful in low-light conditions and longer zoom shots.

The compact and lightweight design enhances portability, making it an ideal companion for casual and travel photography.

Its 4x optical zoom covers a versatile range that meets everyday photographic requirements without loss of image quality.

Use of standard AA batteries increases convenience and accessibility when traveling or during extended use.

Simple user interface and automatic shooting modes enable beginners to capture good-quality images with minimal effort.

Limitations

The camera's LCD display resolution is relatively low compared to more modern models, limiting detailed viewing.

Video capture is limited to VGA resolution at 30fps, which is considered low quality by current standards.

It lacks advanced connectivity features such as Wi-Fi or HDMI output found in newer cameras.

The absence of RAW image format support limits professional post-processing flexibility.

Its image sensor type, CCD, generally consumes more power and has slower full-resolution shooting rates compared to CMOS sensors.

The camera does not offer manual exposure controls extensively, restricting advanced photographic techniques.
