I am very pleased with this camera. No problems so far. The disc to download the pictures wasn't compatable with my computer but I found another way to download my pictures. I recommend this camera!
Canon PowerShot SD11001S Digital Camera Review [Posted on 2008-11-26]
I purchased this product as a gift for my husband as an alternative to a Casio Exilim that he had previously purchased and was unhappy with. He wanted a small camera that he could carry about with him that would take good clear photographs. The features of this camera that he specifically wanted were: compact size, anti-shake feature, reliable brand with a good track record. In short, from the product description and the outstanding customer reviews and glowing recommendations on this site and camera sites, written by lay men and expert photographers, I felt that this would be the perfect camera. Unfortunately, we didn't share the views of the majority. In a nutshell, we found 3 main faults: the image stabilization feature didn't appear to work as many of the shots that he took came out blurry/out of focus; this camera relies heavily on the use of the flash, which makes it a problem with certain shots that you want to come out clear not using a flash feature; the battery and memory card cover seems cheap and flimsy, which we didn't expect to find in a Canon, which are usually well built. In short, it underperformed the Casio Exilim on the picture quality and fell short of our expectations but the camera that we purchased might be faulty. We returned this camera because of these issues.
Unexpectedly better than expected-love this shade of gold [Posted on 2008-11-27]
I own an Elph SD450 5MP, which I thought nothing could beat for the quality of pictures and movie clips it took. I ordered this one to update my camera and was not disappointed. Canon photos tend to be bluish or dark but that is easily corrected in the computer or with the camera settings. I was pleasantly surprised by the clarity of photos, particularly when using the standard zoom. I also like the movie mode which has been improved over my 450. I gave it 4 instead of 5 because I hoped it was more compact, but it is a tad thicker and bigger all around than the 450. Still, it's a great camera to keep in a purse or briefcase in case the perfect photo opportunity should present itself.

I WAS GIVEN ONE A FEW YEARS AGO. THIS ONE SHOULD BE JUST THAT MUCH BETTER. IT IS ALSO A GIFT.
Fuzzy pictures in anything other than ideal light [Posted on 2008-11-28]
I purchased this camera based upon the reviews from
some of the more notable review sites and was somewhat
disappointed in the image quality both indoors and
under less than full bright sunlight. It would be
a great camera for a kid to play with but not especially
for a photographer. All images appear fuzzy and soft
to me under any situation other than ideal light. The
start up time and focusing time is a bit better than
the competition but that's the only advantage that I can
see in this toy camera. I have a 2 megapixel old Olympus
camera that takes sharper and better exposed indoor shots.
I guess the trade off is that if you want something that
you can fit in your shirt pocket or a toy for a kid than
this would be a good choice. This is not a camera for
those of us who like sharp well focused image quality.
And what is it with the white balance? AWFUL indeed!
All indoor shots have this yellow cast that I find
objectionable. Save your money and look at some offerings
from Olympus or one of the other manufacturers.
I sold mine on ebay and bought a Finepix f50fd for about the
same price. The difference in image quality is like night and
day.
