Thought I would buy a Sony but decided on Canon
 
When I started my research to buy a digital camera, I quickly narrowed the models to be considered down to two from Sony and one from Canon.

Unlike most consumers, one of the things that was madatory for me when choosing a digital camera was an optical viewfinder. I also liked the idea of a digital camera that would operate on AA batteries. My megapixel requirement was not very high; 6 megapixels or more was all that I needed.

I checked many resources and reviews of t...

Good for daylight shooting.
 
I recently purchased the SD 1000 to replace a Nikon Coolpix E5600. The SD 1000 has a very appealing design (depending upon your taste of course but in any case, it doesn't look cheap) and as you can see from pictures posted on this site, it is small and very pocketable. The SD series is all about small form factor and lack of full manual controls (as offered on some of the A series cameras) but good point and shoot capabilities. In this regard, the SD 1000 delivers what the rest of the SD series...

fine camera
 
I've had the Canon SD1000 for about 2 months now. I am sure glad I decided on the Canon PowerShot SD1000 7.1MP Digital Elph. Nice compact camera.A real solid feel, Excellent photo quality and easy to use. For $200 you can't go wrong! One surprise is how good the video quality is, I didn't consider using it for video when I made the purchase, but I have used the video a lot with excellent results.
The battery last a long time, 200 plus photos before recharging. Get an extra battery!and a sl...

Great Results! Why all the bad reviews?
 
This was an upgrade to an earlier Elph model which - after years of abuse and neglect - finally stopped working. I also have a digital SLR and would consider myself to be an advanced amateur photographer.

Image Quality is very good. Based on other reviews, I almost didn't buy this camera. The reviews sounded like this would be a step backward, but that certainly hasn't been my experience. The quality is every bit as good as other camera's I've used - better when you consider the...

PowerShot SD1000 is a top-notch compact camera for its price range
 
Last year marked the 10th anniversary of Canon's Elph cameras. The line started with a film camera, though the company's SD line of digital compacts still carries the Digital Elph moniker. Despite its four-digit number, Canon positions the PowerShot SD1000 as a replacement for last year's SD600, which also puts it below the new SD750 in the company's line. Resolution has been bumped up to 7.1 megapixels from the SD600's 6MP, but despite an almost identical controls layout (though different cosme...

Beautiful Camera, with minor drawbacks
 
I won't repeat all good stuff about this camera all other people have written here already. I will only point out some different pro's and con's.

I am using Canon PowerShot cameras for years. They mostly have imoroved. What I like about the new SD1000 (up from my SD700 IS) is the 2:3 aspect ratio assitance - in short: You all know that digital cameras take picture a little wider than 4 inches, and when you print your photos, it always gets cut down from both sides. It's hard to figu...

Cool Features, but Picture Quality is disappointing.
 
Okay, first the pros. This camera looks super cool, if that's what you're going for. It's tiny and sleek, and the viewfinder is very bright and big, nice package on the outside. Some of the features include the face recognition (cool!), and red-eye reduction. Unfortunately I ended up returning this camera due to the horrible picture quality. I think it is because of the image stabilization or distortion to prevent noise at high iso's, but this camera took pictures that were fuzzier than my ...

Great, but has a few quirks
 
I got this camera as a replacement for a 3 year old camera. The two things I really like about this camera are its size (It's not cumbersome to put in a jeans pocket, unlike most cameras), and that it does a very nice job taking pictures in dark places, like bars and nightclubs. This was the area where my previous camera really came up short.

The only two critiques I have on the camera is that sometimes, the icons are not very intuitive. I still don't know what many of them are.....

Wanted to like it, but ended up returning it
 
I really wanted to like this camera. I've been a fan and user of Canon's Digital Elph cameras since I got my first one (S110). Since then I've upgraded a couple of times, first to an S500 then to an SD450 and I was looking forward to the SD1000; more megapixels, higher ISO, the old retro look, and the new DIGIC III. At first, having received the camera, I was very pleased. The look and feel of the camera is great, the form factor is great, but reviewing some of the first actual shots out of ...
