 Cannon Powershot SD1000-Great for the Price! June 24, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Without spending a fortune, I wanted to purchase an auto-focus digital camera that was small and compact, so that I could take travel photos of people and places. This camera has met all of my expectations. The 7.1 megapixel camera produces pictures that are sharp and crisp, so that if you use the cable connector that comes with the camera, to show your pictures on a large screen (such as your tv), there is absolutely no grainyness to the images. The 2-1/2' viewing screen is a nice feature. My wife has an older Canon PowerShot that is larger, heavier and bulkier, but has only a 1-1/4" viewing screen (that is harder to see). As far as using the cameras, they both work the same, so upon purchasing my SD1000, I didn't have to go through any learning curve. Don't be fooled by it's small size, this is a well made product that takes good pictures.
 Very Pleased June 21, 2007

I purchased this camera after reading the reviews on Amazon. It is lightweight, compact, and easy to use. I was concerned with whether it would work with my new macbook computer becuase Canon says they haven't tested it on the new macs yet, but it works without a problem. I hooked it up and it downloaded the pics without any problems.
A few concerns, though. I have small hands and fingers so this isn't a problem for me, but people with larger hands - especially men - may have a harder time using the camera due to the small buttons. In addition, I am not used to having a camera with a battery that charges. I am used to cameras with regular AA or AAA batteries. Having to charge the battery takes some getting used to just because you have to plan in advance to make sure it's charged before planning on using it. I suggest possibly buying a backup.
Overall, though I HIGHLY recommend.
Also have a Sony A100 SLR and this Baby Rocks! June 20, 2007

I bought the SD1000 as a camera to have that "goes everywhere", as we all know that nice high end DSLRs like my Sony Alpha end up not going everywhere due to their size.
I've been TOTALLY impressed with the speed, ease of use and just overall enjoyment of using my new SD1000. I find the pictures to be awesome and it's so much more responsive and snappy than the new Sony T100 that I was also considering.
No it's not 8 megapixels like the Sony and no it doesn't have 5x zoom like the Sony, but my personal opinion is that anything over about 6 megapixels and 3x zoom on a point and shoot camera is a waste of time and they are really just trying to suck people in with numbers that don't mean anything for this type of camera.
Go buy the SD1000. You'll love it!
Beautiful Camera, with minor drawbacks June 19, 2007

I won't repeat all good stuff about this camera all other people have written here already. I will only point out some different pro's and con's.
I am using Canon PowerShot cameras for years. They mostly have imoroved. What I like about the new SD1000 (up from my SD700 IS) is the 2:3 aspect ratio assitance - in short: You all know that digital cameras take picture a little wider than 4 inches, and when you print your photos, it always gets cut down from both sides. It's hard to figure out while shooting where exactly to point the camera. So with the help of the SD1000, it marks those spots grey, so you know exactly how your photo will look like after printing. Beautiful.
Another good thing, is that settings and menus are much better designed. You could see more selections on screen. Hard to explain, but if you used Canon in the past, you'll immediately see what I mean. I also love Canon for the ease-of-use. Everything is so simple!
But the bad things are much more. The zoom lever is dificult to control. They used to make the pointer much bigger, now it's so tiny and annoying. The battery/Card door is so flimsy. Why don't they use the excellent design from their own SD700, which was spring assisted? Besides that, still no zooming while shooting video. And still recording only on uncompressed AVI format, which will give you about 1/2 hour of video on a 2 gb card! MPEG ot other compressed format should be an option, like most other manufacturers are offering. Also, a big problem which was mentiond so many times and Canon doesn't seem to listen, is the absence of a BATTERY METER. You have no idea the strength of your battery, until minutes before it dies. And why don't they offer the optical image stabilizer like on the SD700 and SD800? Canon still have a way to go to catch up with missing features most other cameras already have.
More than meets the eye June 18, 2007

It's really a wonderful pocket size camera and a welcome improvement over my old Powershot S400 (which is still working fine). It performs great in the most difficult situations for an amateur photographer: low light, extremely bright or dark surroundings of main subjects, indoor close ups (flash off, please). And the optical view finder comes in handy when the reflection on the large LCD is too strong. Sure it's not perfect: a lot of image noise with high ISO settings (keep them under 400), menus that close too quickly and very interesting features hidden in the functions, but after the first 1000 pictures you'll get used to them. And don't spend too much time reading the manual (someone ought to write a manual on how to read Canon manuals). Go out and take those beautiful pictures: the camera is very simple, easy to handle and produces excellent images. It's all up to you.
