 Great Camera January 7, 2009
I bought this camera for my girlfriend for Christmas and it was perfect she loved it. It is very small and takes great pictures. It is a great value for a 10MP camera. The batteries seem to last well even when using the flash.
 New and Improved not necessarily better January 7, 2009

The 10.0 megapixel A1000IS is a good camera but nothing that I would consider a massive improvement in everyday 4x6 to 5x7 photo quality over my old Canon Power Shot 2.0 megapixel A40. The video function is improved but that's video -- and it eats memory like a hungry hound. In most pedestrian ways I prefer the A40.
I know both cameras and their functions. I find myself having to manipulate and resize nearly every photo on the A1000 once I download it on the computer - and that's on the lowest quality setting. The red eye is much more prevalent on the A1000 than the A40 and low light is a problem with or without the flash. The A40 was always reliable.
The A40 has 4 shooting modes plus video. The A1000 has eight plus video. In this situation, less is more. The A1000 is a nice camera but it's a simple case of how much do you really need?
Like so many things today, we have too many choices.

The Best Cheap Travel Camera January 6, 2009
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have already posted some photos on Flickr and have received some pretty positive reviews.
Why I like the camera for travel because:
1. It uses AA batteries, I use rechargables.
2. The camera has a view finder which is very helpful when you are outside with the sun behind you.
3. Technology is very advanced. Does a great job finding faces and managing focus.
4. Tripod mount.
5. And I think the best price on the market for the technology and megs (10mps).
6. It's easy moving the photos to the computer.
Canon PowerShot A1000IS = Great Camera for entire family to use! January 4, 2009
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After a lot of research and hands-on examinations, I have now purchased the Canon PowerShot A1000IS and am very happy with it. It is a great point and shoot camera that is fun for my family to use right out of the box with the "EASY" button setting. It has some more technical settings if one wants to tinker a little with their shots, but I bought it for my wife to carry in her small purse and take fast, high quality pictures without any fuss and this camera fits the bill. I have found Canon products and tech support to be superior over any other maker of consumer electronic products, especially including cameras and printers. The flash recharges faster with rechargeable Ni-MH batteries and they last longer. I bought a AA/AAA charger with 4 pre-charged AA batteries for only $10 and they work great, last forever. Also like the use of SD memory cards that are fairly cheap, readily available and work directly with my printer or through the included mini USB cable that I connect to my computer. I have owned a Canon 35mm SLR camera in the past and was always very happy with it, but cannot say the same about my prior Pentax, Nikon, Kodak or Sony camera purchases, both digital and non-digital. The Canon A1000IS is just a good all-around camera for general everyday use. It is small and compact, yet loaded with features and looks and feels like a more expensive camera. I really like the inverting LCD display, wide angle option and location of the zoom feature on the top shutter button insead on the back of the camera like most digitals. I will be buying a Canon again for sure.
