Canon Powershot Pro1
How do I clean the dust behind the front lens of the Canon Powershot Pro1, without making things worse?
You will have to send the camera to be cleaned. Since your goal is not removable and is behind the front element is no way to reach it without dismatling the camera. This is better let the professionals.
Canon Sd1200Is – Without A Memory Card
Bought it for my daughter and she seems to be enjoying it. It was on sale at Staples for about 10 dollars more. I decided to buy at Amazon and was surprised when the camera showed up minus the memory card.
I guess i should have called and asked, but it is my sixth Digital Camera and the first one to arrive without a card. I bought the card from Amazon for another 10 dollars.
Next time I need to be more careful.
The camera is beautiful and works well.
Canon SD1200IS – Poor Build Quality
I recently purchased this camera to replace my Panasonic FX150 on a 1 month trip to Europe.
The quality of the photos from that camera never compared to my canon SD1100 that I had given to a family member in Ireland last summer.
I have had numerous Canon Cameras in the past (SD110, 10D, 20D, Pro1 and the SD1100) and was rarely disappointed.
So I purchased the SD1100 a few weeks before my trip and tested it at a tall ships event in Boston.
As always the quality was perfect for holiday snaps right out of the camera.
So I traveled to Ireland with the SD1100 and brought the Panasonic just in case we had an issue.
We were traveling to Ireland, Venice, Munich and Salzburg so I wanted to make sure I had a back up camera.
The first day in Ireland we went to Spanish Point. It was a very windy day and as I was taking photos the camera shut down.
I attempted to turn it back on, but kept getting a lens alignment error.
After 83 photos the camera was dead because a strong wind knocked the lens out of alignment.
I contacted cannon and they were of no help at all. All I could get were the standard canned responses from support.
No one actually addressed my dissatisfaction or offered a solution. (Canon is in Europe also)
So I went on my trip with the Panasonic FX150. Got my pictures back today and as my wife noted they are not very good. The FX150 randomly takes a nice photo, but most of the time they are overexposed or out of focus. Yes you can blame the photographer, but no matter what you do with the FX150 it has a mind of its own and you don’t buy a point and shoot camera to be messing around with manual settings on vacation photos.
The bottom line is I would not recommend this camera due to its build quality. Get the SD1100 (I think they were built in Japan – at least the early models) but avoid the camera in my opinion. And if you do buy it keep your old one as a backup, bad pictures are better than no pictures.
