Canon - PowerShot SD1000 Digital Camera Reviews

Before buying this camera, I had originally bought a Kodak Easy Share 8MP. That was a great camera, but it lacked one of the most important features to me- a quick shutter speed. As the mother of a two year-old, it can often be hard to get a good candid shot because of my daughter's short attention span. With the Kodak, she would look at the camera and smile, but by the time the picture was taken, she would have already looked away. I had that camera for 3 weeks and did not get one decent picture of her, which was disappointing because her birthday fell within that time frame.

 I went online and...

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.

The Canon Powershot 7.0 Digital Elph camera has gone beyond all of my expectations as a "point and shoot" camera.  On the Auto mode it works wonderfully for those that do not know much about taking photography but want good quality pictures of their pets, children and grandchildren or anything!

Not only does the Auto mode work well but the Manual mode has much to play with!  Fun color changing modes that we love to play around with.  A much much used "Kids & Pets" setting that can capture even the quickest running child! :) 

On top of the great setting options it has a 7.0 megapixel camera...

Ok, I love this camera!! It takes great great great pictures.  The color is wonderful.  You can select differnt color setting too such as: lighter skin tone, darker skin tone, black and white, sepia, and more!!  This is great to make you skin look better even in bad lighting.  I use to own Sony Digital Cameras in the past and not that I don't like Sony but I am liking this Canon more.  Actually I lost my first one and went out and bought the exact same model.  The only only downfall is the no battery indicator warning.  You don't see the status of your battery life basically you just wait...

I have only had 2 digital cameras in my "digital camera career" and both have been Canon PowerShots.  For Xmas my husband bought me a Sony digital camera (not sure of the model right now) and I took a few pictures.  Once we uploaded them onto our computer, we were shocked at the poor quality of the pictures... our pictures from our 6 yr old Canon PowerShot camera were WAY better quality.  He ended up exchanging the Sony for the Canon PowerShot SD1000 (which had the same megapixels, and optical zoom etc. as the Sony)  Have we have not looked back since!

The things I love best about the camera...

I recieved this camera as a birthday present. I had testing and using my friends cameras to find the one I wanted for a couple of years. Exactly long enough to figure out how to "break" the old camera with out being obvious and it was out of warranty. After extensive testing I found the Cannon Powershot SD1000. It is a great size for my purse. I use my camera all of the time. No, not as a photographer, as a person who likes to capture my life. I also use it for work. I am in marketing and at times need the highest resolution and other times need special tricks to make the back end of my job easier....
