Canon PowerShot SD1000 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)
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.

Canon PowerShot SD1000 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver) Reviews
It's lightweight and sleek and comes packed with different modes and functions. I love this camera because it's so small that I can take it anywhere, even in a very small purse or even a clutch. It takes beautiful pictures outside and does well in low light/mood lighting.
Best parts: comes with battery and charger (no fussing with AAAs), very streamlined and compact, many functions, great colours. But otherwise, this camera is ace. Cons: some adjusting needed for darker skin, if viewfinder gets dusty it stays dusty (on the inside).
I've had it for just under a year and have yet to experience a problem. The only thing I can say about this camera that bothers me is that it takes a bit of fiddling for it to capture dark skin tones indoors without the aid of flash. The video it captures is very utilitarian but it has colour modes and sound which is really all that a very point-and-shoot camera needs.
The 'dark skin' setting actually hasn't been a help.
My previous camera - Kodak C743 - couldn't take a proper video unless you were in sunlight. One thing to note is that if you record at 30 fps with high quality, then be prepared to need a lot of disk space. This is a great overall camera for our family for a great deal. It takes decent video even indoors at night when you just have regular lamp lighting. The one feature that I was most pleased with was the video feature which was important to me because I have kids.
Videos are saved in AVI format, making them easier to edit instead of Quicktime on my old camera which was impossible to edit. It also has good battery life, and you can easily purchase spare rechargeably batteries on Ebay. I normally record at 15 fps in low quality to save disk space and I think its good enough. It is small, feels relatively sturdy compared to my previous cameras, and has all the basic feasture that I need in a camera. You can also adjust if you want 15 or 30 fps and at high or low quality pixels. Since it has so many features, sometimes its difficult to get to what you want quickly, but I think Canon did the best they could.
Its has so many great features, including the color accent, color swap, black & white picture, and the time lapse movie mode which makes it the coolest camera ever. Its is so easy to use that even an novice can take professional quality pictures in minutes. The battery never disappoints me and it lasts incredibly long, more than you would expect, keep surprising me all the times. I have used many other camera's but never got the picture and video quality as good as this one. This is the best point-and-shoot camera which gives you picture quality as good as Digital SLRs.
I am very satisfied with the photos that I have taken with my camera and I especially like the built in panorama mode which allows you to take a series of shots and stitch them together to create a panorama. Read the other reviews for info about image quality and such. However, I have had my camera for a little over a year and it has broken 4 times - 3 times the lens would not retract and once the lcd screen cracked. I have an extended warranty that covered all of these problems but each time it breaks, I have another 4 weeks without a camera because I have to ship it off.
for the sice the quality is great but the camera needs a little bit longer to be ready again than I was used to. Also the small battery is holding up about 4 hours so you should buy a 2 one just in case.
