Little versatile camera that stores in your pocket

practical, loving my digital camera

Pros

Stylish, No nonsense design, Great pictures, Easy to carry anywhere, Easy to use

JUN

2008

I have had this camera for about a year, and I love it! The small size allows you to put it in a pocket and take it along on all your adventures so that that when a photo opportunity arrives you are ready. Whether it is a great vacation or just a sunset as you are driving down the road.

This camera features a face-focusing feature which identifies faces and focuses on them. There are many settings for taking pictures including indoor, snow, beach, fireworks, kids and pets (for fast moving objects), night time, in addition to different focal lengths from closeups (flowers) to infinity (that beautiful sunset over the mountains).

I can't think of any downsides to this great little camera which has seen it's fair share of pictures over the last year. I even recommended it to a friend when he was looking for a camera of his own. Now he too has fallen for this versatile little camera.

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.
