The photo quality from the A1200 is very good for the money, particularly at and below ISO 200. At ISO 400, a sensitivity regularly used for shooting indoors without flash, photos look softer, but noise and noise suppression are well balanced making 4x6 prints possible. There is a noticeable increase in noise at ISO 800 resulting in faint yellow blotches and colors start getting slightly washed out. They're still pleasing enough for Web use at small sizes. However, everything that happens at ISO 800 increases at 1,600; use it for when you absolutely need to control motion blur and don't have a enough light or can't use the flash. Basically, this camera is great with a lot of light and very good indoors with bright lighting and/or a flash, but I wouldn't recommend it for regularly shooting in low-light conditions.
