Product Description
Chic, simple. 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. Shutter Speed - 15-1/1500 sec.; Long Shutter operates with noise reduction when manually set at 1.3-15 sec.

 Lens error--had to send it in twice for repairs already May 22, 2008
The camera is nice when it works. I have owned the camera for 9 months and sent it in twice for fixing a stuck lens. Google for "canon powershot lens error", and you will find many similar tales of woe.
You pay for the first shipping, and then they will pay shipping for repeat repairs, but it takes them a l o o o o n g time to email you a shipping label.
You can't talk to anyone in Customer Relations either. They'll take your number and promise to call you back in 24-72 hours.
Given that there are many happy users, not everyone has this problem, but if you do, then Canon will not replace your camera. They will fix it, fix it again, and then your warranty will be up. When the lens is stuck again, you are best off buying a new camera from another manufacturer.
 So Great! May 22, 2008
This is my first digital camera and I love it! It's small and very easy to use. There's plenty of advanced features to add effects on the computer and different modes which are a lot of fun to mess around with when taking random shots. The battery lasted through several nights of going out (with turning the camera on and off)and the picture quality is fantastic! I would highly recommend this camera to first time buyers, or to anyone who wants a new, easy-to-use one!
Excellent images at a GREAT price May 20, 2008

First of all, I've had 4 Canon cameras before this one (the legendary A80, the A95, the recent A560, and the Rebel XT, which was stolen). Also, I work as a photographer for a local newspaper and we constantly use high-end Canon SLRs and G series compact canons. Let me tell you that the quality of this little guy (the first Elph I've had) is impressive. Actually, I would say this is on top with the "G" and SLR series picture quality, if you know how to make a few adjustments.
I've had the powershot SD1000 for 6 months, I've taken it to a few trips, parties, work events, and I carry it in my pocket every day. The features it has (like face detection, digital macro, time-lapse video, color accent, etc.), for the price, are fantastic. However, the best thing this camera offers, IMHO, is a quick operation. It takes VERY FAST pictures, and if you set the color to vivid, with a proper white balance, the images you get will surprise you. I recently had a trip to Cancun and took the camera with me. When I came back I wrote an article about my trip for the Sunday Magazine at my newspaper, and they used my pictures, as they looked very professional.
If you're a casual photographer, you can't beat this price, get it now.
There's ONE thing, however, I still hope canon introduces in the future: a more practical video mode format.
I'm not saying the video quality is bad. Actually it is the best I've seen in ultra-compacts. The thing is, that after having owned a Pentax Optio s5z for a year (before this one), which used good quality divx compression (much smaller files), I found myself taking many videos without worrying about remaining space in the memory card. The "video thing" started growing a lot on me. However, canon uses almost no compression in the AVI files and so, for each 1GB of memory, you can only record 8 minutes of video (2GB = only 16 minutes!).
About the image stabilization: I don't miss it. If your hands are not very shaky and you use the proper ISO, you can overcome this. However, if you're using 1600 ISO, you will see "grains" unless you keep the picture to "web sharing" size. It's normal with compact cameras.
My next camera will be (if it's still on sale) the SD750, because I recently found it has a 3 inch LCD, and I don't really use the viewfinder in SD1000 (a personal choice).
Bottom line: for vacations, every day use, social snapshots, pets, the occasional "artistic" inspiration, fantastic response and pro-quality images at a very affordable price, you can't go wrong with this camera.
Excellent Buy May 20, 2008
This camera is absolutely wonderful. Just recently took the Disney Cruise vacation. All of my pics came out wonderfully like the were perfessional taken. This was a great buy. Pics taken inside were just as fabulous as those taken outside. I would not trade it for any other camera. Definitely worth the money.
PowerShot SD 1000 is a great gift May 19, 2008
Canon PowerShot SD1000 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)
I purchased this camera for my son's birthday. He was extremely pleased with it's features and is having excellent results with it's use. The only problem is that there is only a 32K memory stick which is an inadequate amount of memory. This being said, I would highly recommend the camera because it takes great pictures.
