4 out of 5 stars   above average
By joani on November 26, 2011

Review submitted for Canon PowerShot A1200 12MP Silver Digital Camera w/ 4x Zoom & 720p HD Video (CNPSA1200S)
Pros: Good Image Quality, Easy To Use, Good in Low Light, Fast/accurate auto-focus, Large Clear LCD
Cons: Lag / Shutter Delay
Other Comments: I use this almost daily for close-ups of jewelry and other small items I sell online and it's more than adequate for that. Also recently took some great outdoor wedding photos with it. The biggest downside I've found is that the shutter release button is closer to the middle instead of on the end like older models and harder to reach if holding the camera with one hand.

4 out of 5 stars   Useful features without frills.

Review submitted for Canon PowerShot A1200 12MP Silver Digital Camera w/ 4x Zoom & 720p HD Video (CNPSA1200S)
Pros: Easy To Use, Good Image Quality, Great Value, Optical ViewFinder
Cons:
Other Comments: It's getting more difficult to find point & shoot cameras with an optical viewfinder. This camera is easier to use in daylight conditions than my previous camera that cost twice as much. Don't have to worry about charging batteries with this one, either.

4 out of 5 stars   optical viewfinder, 720p H.264 video, AA
By Mitch on September 08, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon PowerShot A1200 12MP Silver Digital Camera w/ 4x Zoom & 720p HD Video (CNPSA1200S)
Pros: 720p video, Unexpensive, 1000charge, battery life, Small / Compact, AA batt, 100, Good Image Quality, Easy To Use, Optical viewfinder -rare
Cons: Too many Mpix, Lag / Shutter Delay
Other Comments: Optical VF is almost gone from any P&S today; this was amongst the last compact to feature one - i bought it. And HD 720p H.264 video is not bad either for [$]. IQ is OK, typical Canon P&S output; great for consumers. I wished the tiny sensor would have only 5-7Mpix, instead of 12+, but marketing is driving this segment.Finally, an excellent battery life.Over 1000 pics per charge, using 2x AA batts.

3 out of 5 stars   Where's the contrast?
By Jack pine savage on September 07, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon PowerShot A1200 12MP Silver Digital Camera w/ 4x Zoom & 720p HD Video (CNPSA1200S)
Pros: Easy To Use, Large Clear LCD, Small / Compact
Cons: Poor Image Quality
Other Comments: Nice camera, very good video. Pictures taken on Auto setting lack contrast and brightness and don't compare to an old Cannon A20 that shot at 2.1 mp. Now take all pictures on live setting with increased contrast. Not best at high white balance issues.

4 out of 5 stars   Great Little camera with viewfinder
By Lori C on September 06, 2011

Review submitted for Canon PowerShot A1200 12MP Silver Digital Camera w/ 4x Zoom & 720p HD Video (CNPSA1200S)
Pros: Viewfinder, Easy To Use
Cons:
Other Comments: seems to be a great little camera. I got it for an overseas trip, did not break my bank, so if I lose it I will be OK. I wanted the optical viewfinder and this is one of the very few cameras that still have them. Still trying it out before I go!
