What an amazing little camera!

This is such a great camera! I love how easy it is to use and how quickly it responds when you push the button. The display size is great too and downloading pictures to my computer is fast and easy. There's just nothing bad to say about this little camera!

THE BOMB!

I love this camera! It lives up to prior Canon Powershot Digital Elph models... but it's uber-small and lightweight. Everyone comments how much they love my camera (and I've only had it two weeks). I take so many pictures now b/c I can take my camera with me everywhere I go. [$] Don't wait, get it now!

"forever true to Cannon"

Each member of my immediate family own at least one Canon. My 15 year old daughter received her first Cannon PowerShot SD100 almost 10 years ago. She now is the proud owner of a Cannon PowerShot SD750 and a Cannon EOS Digital Rebel XTI (she still uses her SD100 and my PowerShot SD1000)...did I mention she wants to be a professional photographer?

Proven under trying conditions

My use of this camera was on an 10 day "photo safari" on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon sponsored by the Friends of Arizona Highways non-profit. I took along two extra batteries, only one was needed. I filled one 8GB SD Memory card and one 1GB SD Memory card. Most with video of the rapids. All video images were surprisingly sharp, unless I attempted to zoom where the results were less than satisfactory. To keep the camera dry, I used a Dry Pack Camera case where I could shoot through the sides of the pack. To hold the camera reasonably steady, I used a 7.5" to 18" monopod. For still images, I used my Canon 30D.

Great Camera - Pocket it for Quick Use

I keep it in my pocket at when traveling for quick use. Excellent Point and Shoot - quick shutter release, a Real Viewfinder and excellent images. Great to have when I don't want to carry my Nikon D80. Wonderful for candid shots. Its quick release, small size and real viewfinder should make it great on a ski slope. I liked it so much that I gave each of my daughters one for casual picture shooting.

Great Camera for Everyday Use

The Canon SD1000 is great camera which is great for everyday use. My wife and 5 year old daughter are the primary users and love the camera. Its small size allows you to take this camera anywhere. The display is big enough to make sure you got the shot. Easy access to the advanced features allow the user to respond quickly to challenging shots or when the user would like to get creative. The only con is control placement. Buttons are often accidentally pressed because of the small size of the camera. Overall this is a great camera.

What a great camera for a point and shoo

It is easier to use than my old canon. I just wish it would shoot raw.

Great "Little" Camera

Wife wanted a small "fit in my purse or pocket" camera and this one does that easily. The pictures have been great! Purchased an additional battery, 1GB sd card and soft case. Everything arrived as stated, on time and packed securely.

Love that Canon SD1000

By Roma E.

I carry it in my pocket to have a camera handy all the time. I also have a Nikon D100, but it takes a fork lift to carry it and all the lenses to a photoshoot.

Canon drew inspiration from the very first ELPH and designed the Powershot SD1000 Digital ELPH, and came up with a slim, clean-lined and fully flat model. The SD1000 Digital ELPH sports a 7.1 megapixels lens, a 3x optical zoom and advanced DIGIC III to ensure top-quality images. Moreover, it helps in fast focus and automatic red-eye correction. The large LCD screen now has a tough, anti-reflective coating that makes it highly durable. The 7.1 megapixel CCD helps in capturing images with high resolution offering you enough detail to enlarge and crop at will.

The DIGIC III technology helps the camera capture superior quality shots with optimum resource usage. Due to this the camera performs efficiently and the battery life gets significantly enhanced. What's more, DIGIC III enables Canon's newly improved Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life shots. Simply press the Shutter Button halfway down, and the Powershot SD1000 Digital ELPH automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point.

The camera's Genuine Canon 3x optical zoom not only gets you in close, it even allows you to capture images with utmost clarity and brilliance. The camera's wide 2.5-inch LCD screen lets you better compose a shot, whether you're shooting, reviewing or playing back your photos. The screen is extra-durable, tough, with a scratch-resistant coating, and is a PureColor LCD screen that helps in getting a crisp, clear picture to make shooting, playback and using the camera's menu functions convenient. Clear and bright, it also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light.

Canon Powershot SD1000 Digital Elph Camera, 7.1 Megapixel, 3x Optical Zoom, 4x Digital Zoom, 2.5" LCD Display, Silver Features

  • Chic modern minimalism in the ELPH classic Box & Circle design in two color variations to suit your personal style
  • DIGIC III Image Processor with improved Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction for sharper images and improved functionality
  • Vivid, high-resolution 2.5-inch PureColor LCD with scratch-resistant anti-reflection coating for easy on-camera viewing
  • ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto to reduce image blur and expand low-light shooting capability
  • Five movie modes including 30 fps VGA, Time Lapse and Fast Frame Rate
  • Print/Share Button for easy direct printing and downloading, plus ID Photo Print and Movie Print with select PIXMA Photo Printers, CP and SELPHY Compact Photo Printers
