 Pleased on all points! May 1, 2007

I bought this for my wife as our previous digital camera was old and dying. She hasn't looked back since the moment she opened the box.
We love this camera because:
1. It is so easy to carry with you! (It's the exact size of a credit card, only much thicker.)
2. The screen size is awesome. We can see our picture so much better than on the old one!
3. It turns on quickly, making for fewer missed shots.
4. You'd think the controls would be awkward at that size, but they are the best I've found on any digital camera. It's very intuitive.
I bought this over the sd600 because it has the newer processor and didn't cost that much more. I didn't worry to much about the lack of image stabilization as in camera's this size and zoom the reason for blurry photos is more often a slow shutter speed than a shaky operator. Would have loved the sd700's 3 inch screen, but wasn't willing to pay the extra for a .5 inch gain in size.
Bottom line, it's great for taking snapshots and has more features for fine-tuning your photos than most people will ever use.
LOVES IT! May 1, 2007

I love this camera- small, compact and with a retro look! It takes great pictures- on a good sized screen (I considered the SD750, because of the larger screen, but figured the smaller size would suffice for the [...] cheaper- I also get a viewfinder with the SD1000) THe movies are really up to par- for a camera I was really impressed. It's easy to figure out without any instructions- very user friendly. The battery compartment lid is a little flimsy, but that's easy to overlook, considering that's the only downfall. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone.
Fabulous Camera!!! April 28, 2007

I've had this camera now for a little over a month, and I absolutely love it!!! It's very easy to use, and the picture quality is amazing. I have a very dark apartment and could never get satisfactory pictures taken inside before now. Even in little or no lighting the pictures come out clear and crisp. It's small and lightweight so you can literally take it anywhere in your back pocket. I would definately recommend this product to anybody who is looking for an easy solution to good quality picture taking.
 Wanted to like it, but ended up returning it April 23, 2007

I really wanted to like this camera. I've been a fan and user of Canon's Digital Elph cameras since I got my first one (S110). Since then I've upgraded a couple of times, first to an S500 then to an SD450 and I was looking forward to the SD1000; more megapixels, higher ISO, the old retro look, and the new DIGIC III. At first, having received the camera, I was very pleased. The look and feel of the camera is great, the form factor is great, but reviewing some of the first actual shots out of the camera was very disappointing. They were all very grainy. None had the sharpness of the pictures from my old Digital Elph cameras, even the ones shot at ISO80. I proceeded taking more pictures trying all kind of different settings, not wanting to accept that Canon possibly had taken a step backwards with this newest version of the Elph camera, but at the end of the day, I had to admit it. This camera was not living up to my expectations, and I decided to return. It is possible, and I hope, that I got a bad lens or camera, but I am not so sure as I have seen other reviews on the Internet that describes my experience with the SD1000 model.
 Solid performer, but a bit pricey and lacking some features April 22, 2007

If you want a nice, portable camera that takes really nice photos, it's hard to top any Canon Powershot Digital Elphs, and the SD1000 is no exception. They're small, well made, and consistently good photos. All except the 3" LCD models also have an optical viewfinder for those who prefer this outside. I also like the fact Canon packages the cameras with an equally small, international charger (requires adapter overseas). They also tend to be in the quicker category of cameras.
But they are lacking in a few features. The similarly priced Olympus FE-240 has a 5x optical zoom, and the VERY similar Sony DSC-W55 is priced less. Both of these cameras have a bit easier to use mode dial, compared to Canon's Menu/Function setup.
Styling is very much a personal thing, and the SD1000 is supposed to be a tribute to the original Elph camera (an APS film camera), especially the version with the black trim. I just don't like it.
Canon doesn't always have the best, nor are they usually the cheapest. But they are always very good cameras and good values. No exception here.
