Strength:
The most important thing besides the ability to carry this camera everywhere was that it took images that passed my critical requirements for low noise, vibrant colors, clean and sharpness details. The SD1200 delivered on all of these criteria. I am very pleased with its capabilities in low lighting. Yes there is noise as in all point and shoot cameras... that's a given. But noise is minimal and acceptable below and including ISO 400. For those who must require higher ISO (up to 3200 on this camera - at lower resolution) be prepared to use some noise reduction software like Neat Image or Noise Ninja to clean up the image afterwards.
Weakness:
The power button, as well as almost all the buttons except the shutter, are flushed against the camera. This means it takes both small fingers with some dexterity to push. Those with larger hands would find it quite difficult to hold and operate this camera. For smaller hands this camera is relatively easy to hold with its matte metallic finish. I would have preferred a thumb rest at the back of the camera but space is quite tight back there and one must rest their thumb very near the 'display' button and the LCD screen.
This is a camera that fulfills my need for a small pocketable camera - and I mean shirt pocket or jeans - that takes good images, has quick performance, and is built to last. Let me tell you this camera is tiny and light weight. It's has the same dimensions as a credit card and is under an inch thick. Wow! This is another gem in the continuing Canon ELPH series.
