The Canon PowerShot SD1300IS is a small compact camera that’s available in a number of colours, including brown, pink and silver.

Features of the Canon PowerShot SD1300IS

• The 28mm lens is augmented with an image stabilization system and 4x optical zoom. As you’ll mostly be taking shots with the Canon PowerShot SD1300IS without the help of a tripod, the stabilization system is a useful addition.
• The LCD screen is clear and displays colours relatively accurately. It is 2.7 inches in size.
• Canon PowerShot SD1300IS cameras features a system to automatically adjust between the 18 different settings. This means you don’t have to spend time worrying about what settings to select, which exposure to use and whether you have the correct ISO settings. The camera analyzes what situation and environment you’re taking photos in and automatically selects the best possible program.
• You can also select programs manually if you’d prefer, and there are 15 different shooting modes depending on what conditions you’re in.
• The sensor is 12.1 MP, meaning that you can blow up your photos to a relatively large size. If you enjoy taking photos and making large prints, then a high resolution is essential.
• Canon PowerShot SD1300IS cameras have an ISO range of 400-6400, meaning they can take great photos even in low light conditions. If, for example, you want to take a picture by candlelight then the PowerShot will still capture a correctly exposed image.

The Canon PowerShot SD1300IS has received mainly positive reviews, and is definitely a compact camera that rivals other entry level options from Nikon and other companies.
