 Okay for general use April 11, 2007

I bought this camera after reading the reviews and wanted to get a camera that uses a different media type other than the SmartMedia (which only lasts for about a month). I would have to say that I am extremely disappointed, particularly with the grainy images and completely out of focus edges. Even with all the settings on the highest possible quality on the PowerShot SD1000, my old Olympus Camedia C-2020 takes much better photos.
It's incredible how blurry the edges are and surprised why no one has mentioned it being so obvious, especially the other reviewer being a pro photographer. So blurry that I had to use Photoshop to crop out the left and right sides. The right side was worse than the left making 1/8th of the entire image unrecognizable.
Maybe I simply got one with a bad lens. In any case, no thanks, I'll stick with my trusty old camera. I would rather pay for a new SmartMedia card each month.
 Perfect April 11, 2007

Truly an amazing little camera. I was looking for something small that I could stick in my pocket when I go out everyday but still took sharp pictures. This camera does all of that and more. Its small and solid and still manages to take gorgeous photos and very nice videos. I highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a easy to use and very portable camera.
 Great for the price and size April 10, 2007

This replaces my 2.1MP Digital Elph that I use when I don't want to carry my big SLR (Digital Rebel XT with L series lens).
Positive:
Instant start-up, menu navigation and zoom
Screen quality comparable to video iPod
Comfortable and intuitive button placement
Strong flash (for camera size)
Modern/traditional camera aesthetics (great looking)
Acceptable battery life
Camera operation was obviously well thought out
Low price for what you get
Negative:
Poor low-light shooting without flash
Lots of noise at ISO more than 200
No image stabilization
Zoom ring spring a little too strong
Plastic battery door
This is a perfect pocket camera if you care more about ease-of-use, aesthetics, size, and price than trying to capture a print-worthy photo. Overall I'm very pleased with this camera, but only because I have a SLR to capture important moments/places. Think great MySpace photos rather than great family Christmas cards.
Super SD1000 April 5, 2007

I did all sorts of research on the SD600. I had made up my mind that the SD600 was the camera for me. The SD1000 is the newer kid on the block and therefore did not have many reviews. And that is why I am here today. The SD1000 is the newest version of the SD600 with a few additions. Those few additions make this camera AWESOME. I love the ISO choices. I was zooming on my local Calif. freeways at around 80mph and decided to take a few shots of passing signs out my passenger window. At the high speed the ISO caught such great detail that I could clearly read the sign later at home. That means that despite the small size the camera filtered out the shake of my hand, the shake from the road, and compensated for the fast movement. The color options are very much the same as other Canon Powershot models. MACRO is so much fun to play with on this camera. The button layout is easy to figure out. Lighting options like White balance are a button push away. With the Face Detection option on you are sure to get a great photo of the family. I have been playing with it none stop for over a week. Get at least a gig for memory. The only downside that I have found, and it is a minor one, is that when the battery warning comes on it means that you have 1-2 more pics and then it shuts off. I ordered another battery ahead of time and it was worth it. The batteries charge in about 30-40mins. This is a great camera. If you are thinking about the SD600 step up and get the SD1000. You will not be disappointed with it.
VERY HAPPY! March 25, 2007

Canon all the way! I've had an s230, sd300, sd400, sd630. I really did not like the feel of the SD630 very much after living with it for a while. I also didn't like the button placements..was not comfortable with it. It DID take great pics and video. BUT, I moved to the SD1000 (black), have had it one week and love it!
Of all the Canon point-and-shoot digitals, this is my favorite. It is tiny and so pocketable. A pleasure to use. The switches and buttons are where they should be and feel good. The screen is 2.5 so people who want 3.0 need to go to the SD750 which is basically the SD630's replacement with the Digic III processor. Same form factor.
If you liked the SD200, SD300, SD400, SD450 or SD600, you will love this!
My only reservation is how great ARE the pics from this little camera. I'm sure they are excellent but the jury is out on how good they are compared to earlier Canons. I like vivid pics so I may have to set the camera to vivid.
Got a good deal at Amazon.
