This little camera takes amazingly clear pictures. I was looking for something small to carry on vacation, and the Canon SD1000 fit the bill.

In spite of its compact size, the camera has a sizeable LCD screen that helps you see exactly what you're trying to shoot. The color tones in the LCD are really crisp. The face-recognition feature is a great plus - it helps make sure that all faces in the shot are in focus. The auto focus works very well.

The camera starts up very quickly, and there's no waiting before being able to take a picture. I like that. I had a Fuji that used to take forever and this...

Got this camera 2 years ago and use it on a fairly regular basis since. It's a great camera and I've never had problems with it. It is small and light so it is easy to hold with one hand. Has a lot of useful features/settings so you can have different size/quality pictures. Settings are really intuitive so you don't even have to read the manual to be able to use it. Having said this, it is always a good idea to read the manual. This camera came with 2 manuals brief and full. I found the brief version to be the most useful. Unfortunately, I lost it pretty soon after buying the camera so I am stuck...

This is the third Canon  Power Shot camera that I have owned.   I use one for work since I take a lot of pictures that need to be downloaded.  I have another one that I use strictly for personal use.  My original camera lasted me three years and still takes great pictures but the LCD feature finally broke.  Believe me it took a beating before it broke (I must have dropped it at least 15 times and nothing happened to it.  The one that I use for work is set just to the smallest size and works great.  My personal one I took to three weddings this summer and I have to say that I got clearer...

The Canon SD1000 Digital elph is a pretty good camera.  The pics are really top notch, and you can just point and shoot.  I've had it for about a year and haven't even bothered to check out all the features, but every so often a situation pops up and I discover something new that it can do.  It's really small and very handy.  It comes with a wall charger and keeps a charge for a long time. 
Sometimes there's a lag between when you press the button and when the shot is taken....it depends on some mysterious factors I haven't figured out yet but light seems to figure in.  It fixes the light...

We love our Canon products! We have had tons of Canon cameras, printers and scanners. We had the previous version of this camera and when the Powershot SD 1000 we bought one for us, one for my mom and one for my father in law. I like that it has the video camera option and it is easy to switch back and forth. I thin the buttons and function in the menu are easy to figure out even if you don't have the manual on hand and of course we never do. I also like that since we have had Canon cameras for years the menus and settings stay pretty much standard to you get used to using it and don't have to...

I bought this camera about 5 months ago and it has been great! The pictures always come out clear, and there are some really nice features. It is small and has a high resolution 2.5 inch, scratch resistant LCD screen.  It also had face detection and red eye reduction. I looked for a camera for a while and when I checked the Best Buy website, I noticed that the SD-1000 had the best reviews for the cameras in its price range. What really sold me was the fact that is was on sale for $179! In the end, I am extremely happy with my purchase, and have had absolutely no problems with the camera since... read full review »

I remember I asked a waiter to take a picture for me at dinner. Right after he takes the picture he says, "Wow! This is a really good camera!" and asked me about all of the specs that it had. I must say that the quality of the screen is one of the best I have ever seen  (for a point and shoot) and is so small that it can fit right into your pocket! I definitely have no regrets about this Canon SD1000 and would do it over again if given the chance. Go Canon! My last camera was also a Canon, and neither of them have ever done me wrong.

Purchased this camera based on reviews I found online. I was not disappointed. I have recommended it to several others. It does everything I wanted it to do and then some. Great pictures, compact size, excellent battery life. The battery charges quickly, so you don't miss out on too many photo ops. I highly recommend a case to protect the delicate screen and an extra memory card for storage. Love it!!

The Canon SD1000 camera is a grat camera. Small in size, large in features. 7.1 megaPixels, both optical and digital zoom, and face detection. It works great and takes great pictures. I liked this camera so much, that when my daughter's friend threw her purse and broke the camera, I bought another one. I just LOVE it.

I love my canon power shot sd1000, it is small and convenient to tuck in my purse and always have on hand. It is also very easy to use, takes great pictures and has a rechargeable battery. It is everything I was looking for in a  compact camera. I have two grandchildren and hundreds of picture memories, Thanks Canon.

This is an excellent camera in a mid range.  great quality and very user friendly. My Wife and I have found this camera to be everything we expected and more.  Its compact but packs a big punch.  Canon has always produced a great product and this one falls into the same category.

This camera is good buy. It has night mode which is good. The zoom feature is also available.
An SD card is needed to store pictures. The battery is re chargable which is better than AA batteries. The only drawback is one has to wait a little time before the picture is captured.
