Shoot Your Way with this Easy, Affordable New Camera.
Sleekly redesigned in classic Black or Silver, the new PowerShot A1200 digital camera is all about capturing your memories your way. An Optical Viewfinder gives you an easy, familiar alternative to composing shots with an LCD screen.

Comments about Canon Canon A1200 PowerShot Digital Camera (Black):
Would be nice to include a complete users guide. Size is great; viewfinder, too. Hard to find a viewfinder at this pricepoint. Very unhappy about the short battery life. Rechargeables are not practical all the time.
Great durable camera

Comments about Canon Canon A1200 PowerShot Digital Camera (Black):
The wheel that switches between video and still photos is very sturdy, when you click it over, it's going to stay. When you set it, it won't get knocked into another setting. You can change so much about the quality of the video, you can use black and white or sepia tones, it's really neat!
