This Canon Powershot is 12MP point and shoot camera worth around $100. That’s what I call a good bang for your buck. As time progresses these small cameras are approaching the quality of larger SLR cameras. I’m not saying this specific camera is that good, but within a few years we’ll be there. Now let’s get back to the review of the Canon PowerShot SD1300.

Let’s talk pictures. The SD1300 can shoot pictures at a maximum resolution of 4,000 x 3,000 pixels and the videos are 640×480 at 30fps. If you want to print an original large picture your prints can be as big as 13″x18″.

This SD1300IS model has a 28mm wide-angle lens and 4x optical zoom to get some good close-up shots. I also enjoyed their low light setting for taking dimly lit pictures. If you’ve got a shaky hand you’ll like that Canon has a “Canon Optical Image Stabilizer” which auto detects and corrects camera shake so you won’t get blurry shots anymore.

In the back is the scratch-resistant LCD screen which is 2.7 inches. The colors are bright and the screen is easy to see in any condition due to the anti-reflective coating. In the box you’ll find a lithium-ion battery with a charger. You can expect to take 300-400 pictures on one charge.
