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)

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.
