The Canon PowerShot A1200 is an affordable 12.1 Megapixel point-and-shoot compact with a 4x optical zoom starting at 28mm (equivalent) and a 2.7 inch LCD screen. It sits just above the entry-level PowerShot A800 in the A-series line-up, costing only a little more, but offering a wealth of additional features.
The A1200 is one of the first budget compacts to offer HD quality video. It has two auto modes for point-and-shoot photography and includes the kind of ease-of-use features for which Canon compacts are well-known including Scene detection, Face detection and Smart shutter which fires automatically when a smile is detected and also powers optional wink and face self-timer functions.
It also has some new tricks, first introduced on the top-of-the-range A3300 IS, including Creative Filter effects and Live Control View which provides results-based controls with live on-screen feedback.
