Canon PowerShot SD1000 Digital ELPH (Black) review

By (cnet.com)

Excellent image quality; solid build quality; speedy performance; optical viewfinder; face detection

No manual exposure controls

Small size, excellent image quality, and a solid, though not extensive, feature set make the SD1000 a great choice for a compact camera.

Canon PowerShot SD1000 Digital ELPH

By Jeff Keller (dcresource.com)

The Canon PowerShot SD1000 Digital ELPH ($299) is an ultra-compact camera with a throwback design resembling the original film-based ELPH. Despite its high model number, the SD1000 isn't the top-of-the-line ELPH: the SD900 still holds that title ...

Very good photo quality, low noise through ISO 400 (but see issues below) ; Ultra-compact, retro-styled body ; available in two "trims ; Gorgeous 2.5" LCD display ; Has an optical viewfinder (a rarity in this class) ; Robust performance: fast startup ...

Some corner softness ; slight overexposure in test photos ; Redeye a big problem (though the tool in playback mode gets rid of most of it) ; Current zoom setting not shown on LCD ; More manual controls would be nice ; Battery life still a bit below ...

Manufacturer's Description

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...
