Great little camera - one weakness...
by pattyboy2121 on July 10, 2007

Summary: Purchased this cam for an Alaskan Cruise - Pics came out really great... as long as I didn't use the digital zoom. Better to just use reg zoom and crop since the pixels are pretty high. Bummer is I didn't try the digital zoom til the trip so a handful of pics of really cool spots were total losses.

Summary: still getting acquaited with it, but since i wanted something that fitted in my pocket and looked stylish when out of it for the days i don't wanna carry my dslr around, but still delivered a good performance, and more important, great images, this one fits my expectations. made me very happy after a very frustrating weekend with a sony dsc-w70.

The perfect little camera
by natezire71 on June 12, 2007
Pros: Everything...right down to the processer
Cons: None I cant think of!

Summary: I love this camera! Its perfect, it takes great pictures, very compact, and looks cool. Everyone should get this one-of a kind camera!Its the best thing since toilet paper! I gave it a 10 because it is outstanding. The one thing I found out is that, if you tilt the camera while previewing them, the picture rotates as does the camera! Very cool! It has a total of 12 different modes. Great picture, hardly any blur. Another thing, there is a continous mode, which shoots very very fast, almost as fast as my Digital SLR!! And the battery life is great, it lasted me a week...only using the viewfinder. You got to get this camera to believe it!

Summary: This camera has great size but lacks in performance. For being a fairly cheap, it was worth every penny. It was what I expected. Good size, but the shutter speed is sluggish and pictures become blurry during any action movement. You will have to play with ISO in manual to fix this problem. Also, night shots are saturated.

Summary: This is a nice little camera with a good feature set in a compact size. Great for point and shoot, take anywhere, use anytime situations. Would like to see image stabilization feature like on the 800IS. Start up time is fast, pictures are sharp with good color reproduction and battery life is good.

For what it does it is perfect
by Iwantone on December 3, 2007
Pros: Small, great pictures and movie mode, doesn't overload the pixels
Cons: No Image stability, want this camera in phone!!!

Summary: Any camera purchase really is based on what you need the camera for. In my case I need a relaible, LIGHTWEIGHT point and shoot that I can take in my already overloaded laptop bag and take pictures of our installations and our competitors- and this camera is PERFECT for that. It has the same shortcomings as ALL cameas in this small point and shoot form factor range- no manual controls, red eye (but can be corrected in camera) and limited optical zoom and of course the artifacting starting at ISO400 (bad in low light)
But this camera is just perfect for that take anywhere point and shoot- and the street price in the $170's just cant be beat, even by the other Canons in this range the SD800 series.
I got the black ringed version looks WAYY cool in a retro kind of way. The LCD is really perfect and the movie mode takes it 30 fps and is surprisingly smooth.
Also this camera has two useful accessories- I have the external flash reduce red eye and increase flash range and underwater case.
Maybe my favorite thing about this camera is it tops at 7 Mpixels. The "cool" factor is always the maxed out Mpixel count at the expense of making the cameras pictures free from distortion,and give perfect color accuracy. Kudos to Canon for making the pictures great and not overloading the sensor.
Unless you need a bigger zoom (I ALWAYS want more zoom) or must have optical image stability (havent shot a blurry picture yet though) this is the point and shoot you should buy hands down. My 5th Canon they were all good- own a Nikon for higher end that I really like too.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: This is an awesome camera, really great value! The photo quality is very good, the face detection actually works very well, it is well constructed - quite solid, yet light (although not the most attractive design but this doesn't really matter much). The camera works really fast (takes photos, processes and starts up fast). The screen size is good and it is easy to use. I love the camera!

LOVE This Camera!
by Jeepgyrl25 on May 6, 2007

Summary: My husband and I wanted a backup camera that we could fit in our pocket when it wasn't convenient to carry around our primary (and much larger) camera. We originally bought a cheap, relatively unknown brand for about $120, and quickly found out that YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Needless to say, we returned that camera this weekend and picked up the SD1000. It powers on quickly, requires minimal time between shots, and takes phenomenal pictures. We've taken pictures inside and out, day and night, and they've all come out great. And it's very small and very convenient to take with you. Worth every penny!

Specifications
- Manufacturer: Canon
- Part number: 1861B001
- Description: 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.
