Canon looked to the very first ELPH for inspiration when designing the PowerShot SD1000 Digital ELPH, and came up with a quintessential iteration of the icon: slim, clean-lined and fully flat. Inside, the SD1000 Digital ELPH looks only to the future: 7.1 megapixels, a 3x optical zoom and advanced DIGIC III ensure top-quality images, while focus is fast and sharp and red-eye is automatically corrected. The large and more colorful LCD screen now has a tough, anti-reflective coating that makes it as durable as it is beautiful.

As good a camera as it is cute!
Author's Rating:
I love this camera. I have had a sony cybershot for the last 3 years and loved that, but I love the powershot even more. I love the design (it's a solid little camera) as well as the great optical zoom. Not overly impressed with pictures in low light/dark situations, but produces great clear pictures the majority of the time. I am also in love with the macro mode. I would reccomend this camera to everybody!!! :D

super great!!
Author's Rating:
I've read a lot of reviews before purchasing.
I was hesitated till the last min. However, I decided to go with this one becasue of the resonable price, compact size and features so I disregarded all the bad things I found from reviews.
I printed my first pic
and Now I am super satisfied with the quality of pic.

Great Little Camera
Author's Rating:
Bought this camera for my daughter based on the reviews here at Amazon. This is a great little camera!! I hardly ever take out my bulky 3.2 MP Olympus when this thing is around. Takes great pictures and is very user friendly. As a typical guy, I was able to figure out most things without even reading the manual. I would highly recommend this camera, especially to those first time purchasers.

Watch out - warranty not worth the paper its written on
Author's Rating:
Camera was three months old when I turned it on one day and the screen no longer worked - it was mostly white with a few thin colorful lines. Sent it to Canon and they responded that the repair cost was $90 (for a $160 camera) because the there was "pressure impact" to the LCD. This camera was not dropped nor did anything fall on it (or pressure it). There were no outward signs of damage. When I called the service department, they wouldn't consider that it could have been a defective unit. There are several other customer reviews at Amazon where the same thing happened, one just two weeks after purchase. So if the unit is not defective, it is a good buy; if it is defective, Canon will be happy to have you buy the camera a 2nd time.

Great camera for the price
Author's Rating:
My previous SD200 died (I use it under extreme conditions, and it lasted three years), and this model is basically the same thing with better resolution. I've been very happy with this purchase so far, and am looking forward to enjoying it for years to come.

Terrific pocket camera
Author's Rating:
I bought this camera to take the place of my much larger Kodak. It takes terrific pictures and has quite a few options--although most must be used within the menu function.
The 3x zoom is adequate for most picture taking. The larger cameras have better zooms, but sacrifice portability for it. I find myself remembering to take pictures more often because I am able to carry this camera everywhere!
The battery holds a charge quite well and the shutter delay is very minimal. It is ready to take pictures immediately. It's perfect for snapshots on the go.
The only drawbacks I can see is that those with larger hands may have trouble operating it. The buttons and zoom control are very small.

Good Deal!
Author's Rating:
I bought this camera for my wifes birthday and she absolutely loves it.
The pictures are clear and crisp. The viewing screen is much larger than our old PS camera. I guess putting in the right memory card helps too.
I bought her an Extreme III 2 GB card which has a super fast transfer speed. For the price though of this camera, you can't beat it. We also use this same camera at my company to take on the road for field work pictures.

Pros: Compact, strong construction, cheap, quick, little lag, uses cheap SD cards.
Cons: Dust Halo problems with flash photography, no battery indicator.

Review: Great little camera at a great price as they are clearing them to make way for the new SD1100 which will cost $100+ more. Is it worth it? Some current reviews say no. The new model does have image stabilization but for this camera probably not really... Read Full Review by namabeer, Mar 23, 2008

Good Portable Camera for Point and Shoot.
Author's Rating:
Pros: Well built, light weight and portable, easy to find menu, zoom works in video mode.
Cons: Noticeable chromatic aberration, higher than expected noise, image quality is not as good.
The Bottom Line: This camera is great to carry in your shirt pocket. Nice looking, easy to use, and reasonably fast. Still, if you want excellent quality pictures go for a bigger model.
Review: I have been an enthusiast of digital cameras since they appeared in the market. I personally owned several Canon cameras including the A50, A40, A60, A520, and now the SD1000.

Pros: Small, fast, cute as a bug's ear. Good lcd.
Cons: Flawed circuitry or lens gears render camera useless. Canon does not honor in warranty.
The Bottom Line: This is not a robust camera. Consider another brand.
Review: The SD 1000 is a sweet little camera with a less than intuitive interface and fatal flaws in lens synchronization, which Canon refuses to honor in warranty. Don't buy it. With just over a year with the Canon SD 1000, moderate use and good care, the...
