Product Description
Chic, simple. Canon looked to the very first ELPH for inspiration when designing the PowerShot SD1000 Digital ELPH, and came up with a quintessential iteration of the icon: slim, clean-lined and fully flat. Inside, the SD1000 Digital ELPH looks only to the future: 7.1 Megapixels, a 3x optical zoom and advanced DIGIC III ensure top-quality images, while focus is fast and sharp and red-eye is automatically corrected. The large and more colorful LCD screen now has a tough, anti-reflective coating that makes it as durable as it is beautiful. Shutter Speed - 15-1/1500 sec.; Long Shutter operates with noise reduction when manually set at 1.3-15 sec.

Very nice camera, clear detailed photos
This camera had a good rating for its quality and sturdyness. This was bought for a teenager who is hard on their electronics. This camera out performed my expectations, very nice photos, easy to use, small to fit in pocket, purse or backpack. Easy to take on vacation or just out with friends. This is our second Powershot/Digital Elph (bought one for our eldest son) and its a keeper. Thinking about buying another for ourselves when our old kodak quits.

Great Camera!
What a great camera! Canon makes and intuitive, quality product that produces excellent results. The small size of cameras in this line means that you can take the camera anywhere you go without the annoyance of bulky equipment. I've been very happy with my purchase.
I bought a Kingston Travellite Card Reader with 2 GB SD Card to go along with this, which is very helpful for getting the photos from the SD card onto your computer. Also, be sure to pick up a case to protect the LCD screen on the back of the camera.

Serious focus problems, and fragile
This is the first Canon I've owned, and while the size and shape of this thing are fantastic for carrying around, the picture quality is sorely lacking even for a little point & shoot.
We had a Kodak EasyShare for several years until the sensor finally bit the dust (everything became pink all of a sudden), and we bought the SD1000 because of it's small size and the fact that it has an optical viewfinder. Cameras with only a screen can be very difficult to use in bright sunlight, or so we thought at the time. Nowadays, the screens are brighter and the technology has improved so that that is not so much of an issue as it used to be. I find myself never looking through the viewfinder at all with this camera, because it is really tiny and because the screen is easy to see in pretty much any light. The Kodak took incredible pictures for a little p&s - bright colors, tack-sharp, and well exposed, often looking better than the ones I took with my Nikon D50. The SD1000 got great reviews so we expected the same kind of performance.
THE GOOD
- small, extremely portable, easy to fit in your shirt pocket or even the front pocket of your jeans. It's great for when you don't want to carry anything around but want to have a camera handy just in case.
- Good quality video, including sound. It's fun to take short videos, even at night, as long as you aren't expecting vidcam quality. This is not something I was looking for when we bought it, but I'vebeen pleasantly surprised and started using the video function all the time.
THE BAD
- FOCUS! We are so tired of having unsharp or blurry pictures come out of this camera, I've had to restrain my wife from throwing it off a cliff. I don't know if it is an optical problem or a processing engine, but there are rarely sharp edges to any of the images from this camera. The closer the subject, the worse it gets, although 10 feet shouldn't be too much to ask for a camera to focus on, should it? I've seen similar examples of focus problems on othe SD cameras from flickr users.
- Flash too bright. On closeups the flash washes out all color. The camera doesn't seem to adjust the flash intensity when the subject is close, and there's no way to do it manually.
- Fragile lens. This is actually the second SD1000 we've owned. The first one lasted 2 months, because I got bumped in a crowd and the camera fell out of my hand while the lens was extended. It landed softly on a pile of jackets, but when I picked it up the lens was bent 20 degrees and wouldn't retract. Maybe it was a freak accident landing at the wrong angle, but it seems like it broke too easily. My wife went and bought a second camera immediately so she could take it on a trip, and this one has lasted6 months so far with no problems, but has never been dropped either.
- battery life - probably not any worse than the average p&s that's packed with features, but it won't last through a full day of tourist snapshots. Since it uses a special battery and not AAA's or some standard size, once the battery dies you're out of luck until you get back home and charge it up.
Overall, this camera has been handy and the video feature has been fun. But the lack of sharpness just leads to disapponting results when other similarly priced cameras take perfectly sharp images. For that reason (and the fact that I have heard the same thing from other users), this will be the last SD series Canon I ever buy, despite how handy this thing is to carry around.

Love it!
This is a great camera.
PROS: Light, compact, and easy to use. We have taken so many pics and videos since the purchase. Small but sturdy. Takes GREAT videos (this really surprised me). Since owning this camera, we have not used our camcorder.
CONS: It has difficulty focusing when the lighting is between light and dark. I have missed some great shots because the camera is taking too long focusing.

Digital Camera Reviews: Canon PowerShots SD600, SD630, SD700 ISHello! Today we continue with our Canon digital cameras reviews. But in this post we will dwell on another series: Canon PowerShot SD. If you are not against, we will act on our old worked-out scheme, i.e. compare several cameras of the same series but of different level of production, I mean features and capabilities. We will distinguish between their similarities and differences and note this down in 2 tables.
(But if you have any objections, advice or wishes, you are welcome with them any time! I’ll be extremely happy to read and to take them in consideration, as well as try to fulfill.)
And today we are going to have a look at Canon PowerShot SD 600, SD630 and SD700 IS that will be available in April 2006. To be more exact, now we’ll delimit their properties and next time we’ll discuss their features, all the pros and cons in a more detailed way.
