Editorial Review:
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. Shutter Speed - 15-1/1500 sec.; Long Shutter operates with noise reduction when manually set at 1.3-15 sec.

Great little camera
We've had several small cameras, both cannon and sony. This one takes the consistently best pictures, is nice and small so you always have it with you, and everything works. I've had mine for over a year, and it has seen its share of abuse. I even dropped it off a 6' ladder climbing out of an attic - not a scatch or dent - amazing, yes it still works. I've had one error due to sand in the lens (use a case when sticking it in your pocket) but turned it off and on again, and everything worked fine since. The battery lasts a long time on one charge, and a 2-gig memory card is decent for quite a few pictures. It downloads fast to an xp computer with the supplied cable. All in all, I love this camera and would buy another one if I accidently dropped it in the lake or something like that. 2008-07-03
Design Flaw
If you are thinking of buying this camera, don't. I've had it a year and keep getting "lens error restart camera" where the thing jams up. All you need to do is a google search to read all the negatives comments from owners.
Disappointing

Good product, poor service
The camera is good, but they charged me more the the street price. Also it was a gift and the price was displayed on it. I will deal with them in the future, but only if their price is conpetitive and mailed directly t6o me if it's a gift 2008-07-03
