Not impressed

About 6 months ago I bought a Canon SD1000 for my wife. She keeps complaining that it "doesn't work well". So I finally got a chance to try it out this weekend and, turns out she's right.
Before buying this one, I read a lot of reviews and the SD1000 had a lot of positive reviews. But, in the real world, while the video feature is excellent, shooting with the flash is nearly impossible (even in good ambient light), unless your subject is dead, because there is usually a delay of 2-3 seconds between the shutter press & the flash firing. I then switched to manual, ISO 1600, turned off all the bells & whistles and was able to shoot. Unfortunately, the shots are so grainy at 1600 that no amount of post processing will help.
A gift I love.

My boyfriend bought this camera for me and I absolutely love it. It's small and I'm not gentle with my stuff; it's survived through quite a few pretty nasty spills.
The photo quality is great and the recharge time on the battery is painless.
Great Camera

I did some research for sometime before I purchased the SD1000. I am very happy with the quality pictures that I've taken. Mr. Whalen probably needs some classes on how to use a digital camera. I have no complaints. Excellent camera.
Super easy to use, great pics, totally portable

We just bought the Canon AD1000 and LOVE it! We have been through 2 digitals: Kodak and Olympus and we researched very carefully before buying again. The choice was down to Sony or Canon but chose Canon because you don't need to purchase Sony accessories which are pricy. This camera took 1/2 hour to figure out, takes fantastic shots, is very portable and we really like the quick power up time (something we hated about the Olympus with its 5 minutes warm up chug maybe I can take a picture now the hockey game is over!!). The AD1000 comes with very detailed and useful manuals and separates them into Basic versus Advanced, so easy to get going quickly and then research more complex functions later - no typos, no ambiguity, references to other areas of manual which related to same function are actually made WITH PAGE NUMBERS!! WOW!! A user-friendly manual - worth the purchase just for that. Would HIGHLY recommend the Canon.
