 Can it get any better?? July 2, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I'll get straight to point. I am an amateur when it comes to photography. Canon PowerShot SD1000 is my first camera. What I was looking in a camera was good picture quality, lots of great features, ease of handling, not too complicated interface with a computer and light weight. Ladies and gentlemen I am glad to inform you that Canon PowerShot SD1000 has all those and then some more.

Canon PowerShot SD1000 7.MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)
First, I know not to look for any digital but Canon. I decided on the SD1000 after checking spec's, reviews; all that. But, you know, I just like the look of this digital. No nonsense, no gew-gaw, nothing sticking out too far. The retro minimalist design is clean. Some may say cheap. But, they just don't get the appeal. Some just need the glitter, I guess. The camera?, it works. Very well. Images are incredibly sharp and vibrant. Of course, you're still responsible for what you're framing, but outside of that, it's pretty much handled. I think the camera is a good value for the money, comparing it up and down the field.
I might also suggest to pop for the Sandisk extreme III 2 gig SD card. Wowwee, it's fast.
I'm not too quick to write a review of my purchases but, I'm very impressed with the Canon SD1000.
 Good for daylight shooting. June 29, 2007

I recently purchased the SD 1000 to replace a Nikon Coolpix E5600. The SD 1000 has a very appealing design (depending upon your taste of course but in any case, it doesn't look cheap) and as you can see from pictures posted on this site, it is small and very pocketable. The SD series is all about small form factor and lack of full manual controls (as offered on some of the A series cameras) but good point and shoot capabilities. In this regard, the SD 1000 delivers what the rest of the SD series promises. Fast and accurate focusing, face detection that really works (and I mean good face exposure and not just detection), very fast response with almost unnoticeable shutter lag; surprisingly fast burst mode (even with a slow SD card), accurate color and many other features mentioned by other reviewers. As I said, I wasn't expecting full manual controls as the small size was more important for me (I already own a Digital Rebel). You do get control over the ISO settings and the white balance. The first is particularly important which takes me to the aspect that I don't like about this camera. Being a 7.1 megapixel camera, I expected some noise, but not as much as I got with the Auto ISO setting and no flash (available light) indoors. Believe me when I say that indoor pictures with these settings are VERY noisy. You can avoid this by lowering the ISO setting to 200 or less. But then, the lens is so slow that camera shake becomes an issue, making it almost impossible to take a good picture with available light under low lighting conditions. ISO settings higher than 200 are pretty much worthless because of the high noise levels (even higher than my horrible Coolpix). This is a shame as this camera is very good under good lighting conditions. I guess I will just have to use the flash indoors or carry my D-SLR. I don't recommend this camera as your sole travel companion (you never know when you're going to be in a situation where flash can't be used) or if you expect to shoot a lot indoors with no flash. I still like overall performance and small form factor so I give it four stars.
so small ! June 27, 2007

Exactly what I was looking for: great picture, fast reaction, and so small it fits in your pocket so you have it handy with you and without people noticing.
 Cool Features, but Picture Quality is disappointing. June 27, 2007
13 out of 15 found this review helpful
Okay, first the pros. This camera looks super cool, if that's what you're going for. It's tiny and sleek, and the viewfinder is very bright and big, nice package on the outside. Some of the features include the face recognition (cool!), and red-eye reduction. Unfortunately I ended up returning this camera due to the horrible picture quality. I think it is because of the image stabilization or distortion to prevent noise at high iso's, but this camera took pictures that were fuzzier than my 5.0 megapixel Kodak. The images did have vibrant color, but every single one of them was fuzzy and soft, outside or inside, with or without flash. Maybe it's the lense? If you are a stickler for good picture quality and sharp photos, go with something else, even a lower megapixel camera, or wait for an improvement on the SD1000.
