Having owned a couple of (mid to lower end) Kodak digital cameras, I've always been impressed with my friend's and family's Canon digital photo quality, especially in indoor light. So after finally getting fed up with my Kodak C563's indoor photo quality, I thought it was time to get a Canon. Here's what I was looking for in a digital camera: Under $200, good indoor photo quality, and an "auto" mode and a "manual" mode to play around with. I wasn't really interested in recording video (my Sony camcorder does a better job of that than any digital camera) and having a manual viewfinder wasn't really important, so I opted for this camera.
What I like: for its size, this camera packs a lot of features. There is an "auto" mode where the camera decides how to set ISO, white balance, contrast etc., when taking a photo. There is also a "program" mode where you can manually set these parameters, or choose from a list of preset parameters based on shooting conditions. Unless you're shooting in full sunlight, I find that the "auto" mode tends to set ISO a little higher than I'd like (making for a "grainy" picture) and contrast a little lower than I like. Actually I find that auto mode is kind of unpredictable as far as photo quality goes. But I've also found that shooting in program mode and setting ISO to 100 and quality and resolution set to the max, I get great photos 90% of the time, so I usually shoot in that mode. Another nice feature is Canon's macro mode - where you can get detailed close-up photos (1.2-12 inches away if I recall). I posted a couple macro mode flower shots on Amazon for your viewing pleasure.
What I don't like: the battery life is not as good as using 2 AA rechargeable batteries. But having the Canon rechargeable battery is a necessity due to the camera's small size. I find that I can take about 150-200 shots on a full charge, so I need to carry the charger with me while on vacation (or pony up another $35 for an additional Canon Battery). Another negative is that it is very easy to partially cover up the flash while holding the camera; it's located in a spot where you'd naturally put your left forefinger when holding the camera with two hands. This isn't a problem for me since I've trained myself not to do that, but if you hand your camera to someone else to take a picture, it's a real possibility.
All in all it's a great camera with a lot of features (many of which your average snap-shooter probably won't use). For the price, it's a great deal. I really think this camera is worth the price you pay and then some. Like any other complex electronic device, you MUST read the whole manual to get the most from it - don't assume you know how each mode works and how to navigate the menus or you'll be disappointed like some of the other reviewers here.
Oh, and I can recommend the Canon PSC-1000 Leather Case with this camera - it fits the SD1300 perfectly. And the SanDisk Ultra SDHC 4GB SD Memory Card works well (and quickly) with this camera.

I returned this camera immedeately after I received. It was said to be 18 shooting modes with the camera. However,I could just find. The LCD seemd not as good as my "old" canon SD880 IS, which I have loved a lot. Also, the outer shell of the camera was made of a kind of plastic, instead of metal. It is a cheap camera, so do not expect too much of this one.
Anyway, the return service from Amazon was awesome. I got all my refund shortly.

i brought this camera for my brother. the camera looks great and has nice features. but indoor photography is awful. any photo taken in flash comes out with a nasty yellow tint. the processor cannot render correct white balance, sharpness and color
Nothing like a Canon! August 27, 2010

Having owned many of these canons, I can say that by far they beat the Sony and other models. They are easy to use, take great pictures without having to fiddle with settings, and in general offer a non pro a great lightweight option.
