Question: Canon A1100 makes clicking sound Hi.  I notice that the camera makes a sound I'm not used to.  It seems to be when the camera focuses.  I understand that's a mechanical process, but does anyone else get the same sound, or is it just my unit?Thanks
Document: It seems to be in the instructions that I uploaded onto my computer, but I would prefer a manual I can hold in my hands and refer to, not to have to find it in my laptop, as I rarely have my laptop handy when I'm taking pictures! To sum up, I can't give a very good review, at this time, as I haven't learned all there is to know about everything the camera can do, thanks to Canon not including a physical manual.
I was able to use the camera easily with minimal practice including the zoom. The menus are easy to find and easy to understand. It weighs next to nothing but seems really sturdy. I've never felt confident about photography, but with this camera I'm looking forward to learning the more advanced features
And I would not depend on this unit for capturing consistently high quality images on significant occasions, unless you have spent a great deal of time mastering this camera and its multitude of settings, and shot a large number of test/learning images.It is important to me to have a optical viewfinder, which the A1100 has, but a user must be aware of its limitations. If exact framing and composition is required, the LCD screen must be used, which drains the batteries faster.
A happy wife makes a happy husband. Thanks Canon.
They decided it was the camera and not an inept customer. They even pulled another A1100 IS off of their shelf and tried that with the same results. I received a full refund, but was very disappointed because, after all, I wanted a camera!I believe that a bad lot must have rolled off the Canon production line. What else could explain such low quality? Certainly the prototypes could not have been this pathetic. The more positive customer reviews indicate that some good batches shipped out.
This camera is a steal for the quality you get. The pictures come out great. The menu is a little hard to understand, but I'll get used to that in no time. Very few fuzzy pictures even in low light. Just a good camera for 100 dollars.
i considered the new generation canon a3100is and a3000is but those cameras were more expensive, they didn't have an optical view finder, and they didn't use AA batteries (which i considered a real convienence). also the newer models used the digic 3 processor while the a1100is used the digic 4 processor - someone explain that one to me?! so if you are considering and want to get a nice inexpensive camera, get the canon a1100is and get it soon because i'm pretty sure they're on the way out now
Unfortunately, Canon is not going to produce this camera anymore. Like other camera makers, Canon will no longer offer similar AA battery cameras like this. I wouldn't mind having a camera that requires special batteries but there seems to be no battery size standard in the new cameras. Each maker uses their own unique batteries that are not interchangeable with other makes/models. They are expensive to replace too! Purchase this camera at a great price while it's still available.
It seems to use up a pair of AA batteries faster the previous camera. I use the rechargable AA batteries which are the best way to go unless you like throwing out alkalines. I've also started to use a new set of batteries so it adds another variable. It looks like I'm getting about 80 pictures per pair of 2600mah batteries. Which seems a little low. But sometimes the new batteries have to go thru about 5 discharge-recharge cycles to get to full strength.
I bought this camera after a miserable week with a "high-end" Canon (SD980is) that wouldn't take a good picture no matter what I tried. This A1100 is a pleasure. The pictures are beautiful. Adjustments are intuitive, it seems to be fairly foolproof. This camera is well-built and sized right to hold in your hand. Has the right amount of features for the non-professional but high-expectation photographer. Very pleased!
Answer: I have the same camera.  It's perfectly normal.  It's just the camera focusing.
