Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS Digital ELPH / IXUS 95 IS Review and Test Photos at Digital Photography Interface – Brad Soo provides an excellent tour and overview of the camera’s features and functions in this article.
On the image quality, Brad says:
At lower ISO settings; ISO 80, ISO 100 and ISO 200, the Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS Digital ELPH aka Digital IXUS 95 produces clean, very good image quality. There’s an increase in noise at ISO 400 but picture quality at this point is still good. ISO 800 would be the most you’d want to go; it softens fine details but if you can still use images here for small photo displays and prints. ISO 1600 destroys too much detail to be considered useful.
In the comments, Brad has some bad news for those who want to be able to control this camera via the use of a remote unit:
SD1200 IS Digital ELPH aka Digital IXUS 95 doesn’t have any remote capture capability. This feature has been slowly disappearing over the years on Canon compact cameras and is now only available on expensive/prosumer models in the PowerShot line.
