With the PowerShot A1200 Canon has all but redefined the budget compact. It shares many features with Canon's A-series flagship model, the A3300 IS, including the ability to shoot HD quality video at 720p resolution. The 4x optical zoom starts at 28mm (equivalent) which is perfect for interior shots, groups and landscape photography. The lack of image stabilisation is disappointing, but given its other features it's easy to forget this is a budget model, and you can't have it all, not at this price anyway.
The presence of a mode dial and new features like Live View Control and Creative filters make this a very different camera to the entry-level PowerShot A800 in handling terms. The PowerShot A1200 could be a very attractive proposition for SLR owners looking for an easy and pocketable compact that provides a degree of control, good quality stills and video and, if you use the optical viewfinder, extraordinary battery life, without breaking the bank. Switch to Easy auto mode and you've got a simple point-and-shoot that anyone can use. know more
