Pros: Small, fast, cute as a bug's ear. Good lcd.
Cons: Flawed circuitry or lens gears render camera useless. Canon does not honor in warranty.

The SD 1000 is a sweet little camera with a less than intuitive interface and fatal flaws in lens synchronization, which Canon refuses to honor in warranty. Don't buy it. With just over a year with the Canon SD 1000, moderate use and good care, the ...

Pros: Small size! Great image quality, speedy response, face detection, optical viewfinder
Cons: Lots of red-eye in inside pictures, no optical zoom during videos

Great little camera at a great price as they are clearing them to make way for the new SD1100 which will cost $100+ more. Is it worth it? Some current reviews say no. The new model does have image stabilization but for this camera probably not really ...

Pros: Price, picture quality, durability
Cons: shutter could be faster. Digital zoom does not make for the best pictures.

I needed a highly portable digital camera to substitute for my larger Canon dSLR. I didn't need anything fancy, anything expensive, nor did I need the latest technology. I wanted a great picture, durability and price. I found the PowerShot SD1000. For ...

Pros: Cute form factor

DO NOT buy Canon products unless the terms offer a full refund. "My" SD1000 arrived malfunctioning. I could have returned it for another one, but I've played that hand already. After another sample of a bad batch, I end up changing manufacturers while ...
