Canon PowerShot SD1000 7.1 Megapixel Digital Camera - 1862B001

We have not had it very long but so far this little camera is perfect. The quality is amazing and the size is even better. I was wanting something that I could carry around but not look like a tourist and bingo this was it.

This is my second Canon Elph series camera and it looks like this one is even better than the first. My previous one was a S410 4MPixel model that I bought in 2004. I loved that camera and would have continued using it, except my wife sat on it when the lens was open, and wrecked the mechanics of the lens. The SD1000 appears to be an even better camera, and it costs about half what I paid for the S410 back in '04. The 2.5" LCD is a big step up over the old 1.5" one, and it's just what my aging eyes needed. The display is clear and bright, and the controls/menus are very easy to navigate and use. This camera is loaded with features, and it does way more than I need for my everyday point-and-shoot usage. One of my main requirements for a camera is that it be small enough to easily carry in a pocket, and the SD1000 fits the bill perfectly. It's almost exactly the size of a deck of cards, and fits easily into my pocket, even when I'm wearing jeans. Despite the small size, this camera is easy to hold and operate, and feels quite comfortable in the hand. Canon cameras cost a little more than some others, but they are consistently rated at the top for image quality, so I think it's worth a few extra dollars. Buy.com did a terrific job with order processing and shipment, as usual.

You can't beat this camera, especially for the price. Buy.com shipped it out immediately, just in time for the holidays. The pictures it takes are amazing... the Digic III works really well in low light.

I wanted a good camera that could fit easily in my pocket. This one fills the bill. Great pictures. Great ability to scan thru my photos on the camera. It's got all the features I wanted: face recognition, stabilization, night shot, video.

I wanted something to fit in my pocket or purse. This camera is so easy to use, with fun features and so small. I'm thrilled with the camera and would definataly recommend others to get it of one of the other Canon Powershot SDs. I bought this one after talking to my brother who has a Canon Powershot from years ago that is still working great.

This camera was purchased to replace an older that had just quick working. After a few minutes of getting acclimated to it, this is a great little camera. Great looking pictures and easy to use.

Last year I bought a Casio Exilim because it was a few $ cheaper and was very disappointed with the picture quality... Didn't matter, until I had a cute baby. Replaced it with this camera and I couldn't be happier. If you need a good point-n-shoot that'll fit in a pocket or purse, this IS the one. Pros: Tiny, easy to use, quick boot, low shutter lag, automatically detects orientation of camera, all-around performer. Cons: Washes out the low-light indoor shots. The Auto-Focus assist light/red eye reducer light is VERY bright from close range, which is where I take a lot of baby pictures. However, it can be turned off, at the expense of focus speed and having to correct red-eye afterwards (which can be done on camera or computer)

Everything works great with the camera. No Problems, so far in a month. Only con I can see is I can't tell if the battery is low or maybe I could, but can seem to find out how. On the other hand, I've had it for a month, shot over 100 pics and the battery is still doing fine.
