Why This Camera
Simple. Value for money. With the dual lens kit, this is an incredible amount of camera for the money.
I had wanted a DSLR for a long time, well long is relative term in consumer electronics, so let us just say that I've wanted one since they've been viable. When they... Read full review »

Canon PowerShot Digital Elph SD1000 7.1-Megapixel Compact Digital Camera

bydkozin May 11, 2007
76 Helpfuls 77 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Size, looks, weight, large screen, fast operation, pleasing photos, price
Cons No manual control over aperture or shutter speed, no optical image stabilization
Recommended it? Yes

Since I have always liked Canon Digital Elph cameras (e.g. 6-Megapixel SD600 and the 7.1-Megapixel SD800 IS), I had to see how good the new Canon SD1000 is. The SD1000 is a 7.1-Megapixel camera that is less expensive than the SD700 IS or SD800 IS. Does lower price warrant worse performance and... Read full review »

Pros Excellent picture quality, great price, lots of features, large screen, ultra compact,...
Cons Little bit of lag with flash, could use image stabilization for low-light zoomed pictures

My fiance and I will go for periods of several months without making any electronics purchases, only to follow it with an electronics shopping spree. This... Read full review »
