Canon - PowerShot SD1000 Digital Camera —

I purchased this camera because it was able to fit in my shirt pocket and starts up very quickly. I carry the SD1000 around for quick/easy access photos when I'm not lugging around my digital SLR. Another positive aspect of using this camera is the large screen that quickly displays the photos. One final feature worth mentioning is the SD1000 captures pretty good quality video. One thing that I found challenging is the battery life - I ended up picking up a spare battery and discovered that sticking with the Canon brand yields a longer lasting battery.

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.
