The SD1100 is the replacement for the SD1000. The key features of this ultra compact aren’t anything to write home about but the SD1100 does promise to be another solid point and shoot tool coming from Canon. It combines an 8MP sensor with a 3x zoom (38-114mm equiv, optically stabilized) and lets you view images and menus on a high resolution 2.5 inch screen.

The spec sheet might not look overly impressive but there are a few new functions which Canon introduced with the latest additions to its line of compact cameras. Face Detection now also optimizes White Balance for the face detection frame and the new AF Point Zoom allows the user to check the focus by magnifying the AF frame when the shutter button is pressed half way.
