Canon PowerShot SD1000 April 8th, 2007 | by David Elrich

Conclusion

Anyone looking for a good point-and-forget digicam should put the Canon Powershot SD1000 Digital ELPH high on the list. It’s not the fastest camera in the world, but it works quickly enough, even with the flash blazing away. Photo quality is of the classic Canon style, which I like very much. I’m sure zillions of shutterbugs will like it too.

Pros:

• Extremely compact and light
• Good photo quality
• Best Face Detection setting
• Decent response for a camera of this class

Cons:

• Few manual controls
• High digital noise at ISO 400 and above
• LCD could be more responsive
