Product 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.

Excellent - buy it!2009-06-23
I was torn between the previous model and the current newer one. After carefull consideration, I decided to save a few bucks and went with this previous generation SD1000. The only thing upgraded that I miss is the antishaking feature. It's not really affected my photography. This baby has lots of features for an amateur to use. You can point and shoot. You can also play around with options to customize your photo taking. My favorite is being able to select a color then only that color is intensified in a photo while everything else is turned into black and white!

It's been over a year - not a single problem with this camera. Battery charger works as expected. if you have a PS3, thesame controller charger can be used on this camera to connect to a usb on a PC.
Lens Error ( 2nd Canon to do this to me )2009-06-18
I've had this camera a little over a year. My daughter took it on a trip and the very moment she went to use it the lens barrel got stuck in the open position. My older SD200 also gave a "E18" error and stopped functioning. I called a local camera repair. They said it would take 3 weeks and $50-80USD to fix it.

Makes excellent 8 x 10s with my inkjet printer. Plenty of battery life. Average flash distance. Good view screen size.
Lens problem2009-06-15
I used this camera for about 8 months with no problems. On vacation the camera had a lens error problem. Before you buy this camera google lens error problems on this camera. I was amazed that they had so many complaints.
After 18 months the motor failed. Common occurence apparently.2009-06-01
loved my previous Canon Elph, a 110 bought around 2000 - it still functions just fine (albeit with 1 meg pictures). I bought this SD1000 camera under two years ago, and the lens motor is now non functional. I've taken about 2K pictures with it.

Canon wants to charge about 150 bucks to fix it now. A quick search shows at least one class action suite against Canon for a similar problem, and just as I was moaning to the customer service representative my co-worker mentioned he'd had 2 Canons recently fail in the same way.

I'm hoping against hope someone from Canon contacts me, but for the mean while, here, Canon, suck on this.

Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them. All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image. Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
A Quick Look At the Professional Digital Camcorder
Introduction Professional digital camcorders are better than your analog camcorder, or even your digital video camera. The advancements that have been made in the camcorder industry are amazing. Just like everything else they keep getting more and more advanced, and shrinking in size. Even though we have seen much advancement, the price keeps getting more and more affordable. Professionals are not the only ones who can now enjoy the wonderful benefits of a professional -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A professional digital camcorder allows creativity and quality to meet, and the cost is far lower than it was only a few years ago. Even in the late 1990's most professionals were using Betamax professional quality analog recorders, though the professional digital camcorder was starting to come into its own back then. In 1997 at a press conference in Roswell, New Mexico during the 50th anniversary of the historic alleged UFO crash ...
