The SD1100 comes in 5 colors, and the one we are interested in is called “Pink Melody” – a classic, metallic pink. This ultra compact (3.42 x 2.16 x 0.87 in.), 4.4 oz. camera has:

• 8 mega pixels

• 3x optical zoom

• 35mm equivalent focal length of 38-114mm

• 20 different shooting modes: Auto, Camera M, Portrait, Special Scene (Foliage, Snow, Beach, Sunset, Fireworks, Aquarium, Underwater, Indoor, Kids & Pets) Night Snapshot, Color Accent, Color Swap, Digital Macro, Stitch Assist, Movie

• Face detection technology which sets exposure, focus, white balance and flash automatically

• Optical image stabilizer and motion detection technology

• Print/share button which makes it really easy to download photos, or send them directly to a printer (PIXMA or SELPHY Canon printers)

If you need a good excuse to buy this camera, get the American Cancer Society Camera/Printer Bundle. The kit, created to celebrate Canon’s 10-year support of the ACS, includes the Pink Melody SD1100, a matching pink SELPHY photo printer (small enough to bring with you on vacation), a pink ribbon charm and a mammogram reminder magnet. The printer, which accepts a wide variety of memory cards, comes with a trial ink and paper pack, and is able to create prints up to 4×8″.

Cute, tiny and solid, the SD1100 is a good choice for anyone looking for a basic, but stylish, camera offering great image quality and a few extras (face detection, image stabilization).

And the cost? At time of writing I found the camera for $155 and the kit for $229 online.
