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.

Fun camera, nice and small so it easily fits in my purse so I can bring it everywhere with me. Turns on quickly but taking a picture can be confusing if you haven't used it before (you need to make sure you push the button down all the way). Takes good pictures even in low light the flash is decent. Overall a good camera, would buy again.

Small, simple & sharp

We bought this camera for our 81 year old Mother for Mother's Day. It takes a great picture even with the trembly hands of our Mom. It is so easy to use and small enough to drop in your pocket. We are delighted with this purchase!

This camera replaced a very similar Nikon camera which I found very lacking in controls and useability. This Canon is quite frankly the best snapshot camera I have ever owned. It take great photos in all lighting conditions and gives the user the ability to modify ISO speed settings to stop motion in low lighting. The feature set and intuitiveness is far beyond any of the competitors products. I highly recommend this camera.

Nice, but not great

Overall it is nice camera, and it is good value for the money.
though I found 2 faults:
1. from the instance I shoot until the picture is set it takes some time. especially when the light conditions are poor.
2. the date only appears at poor quality pictures. on high quality u can't add the date :-<
