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. Smart AUTO takes care of all the details while you focus on getting the shot you want, by intelligently selecting the proper settings for the camera based on 32 predefined shooting situations. And now you can preserve your memories exactly the way you see them in incredibly true-to-life 720p HD.

Canon PowerShot A1200
Optical Viewfinder The A1200 is one of the very few compact cameras currently on sale that has an optical viewfinder.

Power Shot A1200
It is almost impossible to find a small compact digital that you can fit into your pocket and has an eye level view finder that allows shooting in complete sunlight. This camera not only fits the bill, but it does it well. I barely needed to read the instructions in order to use the camera. Read more ...
