The Canon PowerShot A1100 IS has features that put it at the top of its class, and, while it isn’t made out of recycled plastic bottles, it does come in green. We included the Canon PowerShot A1100 IS because you need to document your green lifestyle. Digital cameras are small and use digital media, so they don’t create a lot of waste and they can go far in spreading awareness and documenting.

Environmentally Friendly:   Excellent

Plant a tree. Shop at a farmer’s market. Create a “green” group on Facebook. Document your green lifestyle with the Canon PowerShot A1100 IS. It’s the best way to spread the word and get everyone involved.

While there hasn’t been a huge green movement for cameras, the manufacturer, Canon, is committed to recycling. With programs and drop-offs around the world, it’s a great place to take the camera when you’re done with it.
 

Energy Consumption:   Excellent

Cameras, as a rule, don’t consume much energy except when they’re charging. So the best way to green them up is to include a longer battery life so it doesn’t have to be charged as often, which Canon has done.

Product Features:   Excellent

Just because a camera is green in color doesn’t mean it’s environmentally friendly. We understand that. But if you’re going green, you might as well go all out. That’s why we liked this PowerShot, green-minded people can show their true colors. And, when you fill the camera with images of you planting a tree or two, you realize it’s what’s on the inside that counts.

Along with being the color options, the Canon PowerShot A1100 IS also has some features that don’t disappoint. With 12.4 MP, 4x Optical zoom, TTL Autofocus and the ability to do movie at 640 x 480 for up to 4GB or 60 minutes per clip. That’s a lot of video, nearly enough room to do an entire documentary with video and pictures to really show what why green is better.
 

Summary:  

When it comes to green, the PowerShot A1100 IS has got it covered in looks. It’s also one of the best ways to document your green lifestyle.
