Canon SD1000 / Digital IXUS 70

Pros: Portable, good LCD display, using the basics is easy

Cons: Zoom not that great, challenging to take low light photos

Review: After owning a Canon PowerShot 3.2 mega pixel camera for several years, my wife and I decided to upgrade to a smaller, more powerful camera. We found a great deal at an office supplies store (that I would rather not name due to their continued poor ...

Pros: size, quality of pictures

Cons: price (when I bought it, although now it is less expensive_

Review: I bought this camera as my third digital camera. I like the compactness of it, the battery lasts quite a long time, is really easy to charge (comes with an electrical outlet charger), and takes great pictures. It is very easy to use which was ...

Pros: compact, easy to use

Cons: has more features than I would ever use

Review: What a great little camera, compact and easy to use, even for an amateur like me. With a price of only $199 online from RitzCamera and a 3% rebate if you log into ConsumerClub.com, it is a true great deal! Can recommend it to ...

Pros: amazingly clear pictures; lightweight and VERY DURABLE; neat adjustments; simple layout of menus and options.

Cons: Some adjustments (color accents and color swaps) aren't available with flash.

Review: After using several digital cameras, I've finally found the one I'd like to say I'll keep forever. I've used Kodak, Sony, and another Canon that I didn't feel were appropriate for my level of experience and knowledge. The PowerShot is perfect for both ...

Pros: Good looking, great pictures

Cons: Battery life sucks

Review: Great good looking camera. It will fit your pocket, so you have every opportunity to take it with you and use it! But poor battery life, when you use your flash it will be dry in just a few shots. Good quality pictures, even with just 2.1 megapixels. Its ...

Pros: Great point-and-shoot camera, great macro shots, clear photography, good for family photography

Cons: Images have tendency to be blurry, shutter speed (esp w/ flash) is not optimal

Review: I was given this camera for Christmas and it was one of the best gifts I've ever received! I am NOT a hardcore photographer, but rather just wanted a quality point-and-shoot for pics of family and friends. The SD1000 has done the trick and then some! ...

Pros: Easy upload on to computers. Easy to use for any age.

Cons: Very delicate when dropped. Easily scratched.

Review: This camera takes amazing pictures! The zoom is wonderful and the focus goes right to the the thing being photographed. ...

Pros: Ultra-compact, takes decent shots under most circumstances, easy to use, flexible

Cons: Shutter lag in flash mode, sensor has limited dynamic range, fixed aperture lens

The Bottom Line: A good inexpensive choice for a pocket camera, but be aware that some corners have been cut.

Review: The 7-megapixel SD1000 is the least expensive model in the current generation of Canon’s popular ultra-compact Elph (Ixus in Europe) digital cameras. Our family already has two cameras in this model line purchased over the last couple of years (an ...

Pros: size, viewfinder, weight and maximum resolution.

Cons: menu system, viewfinder easily scratched

The Bottom Line: This camera is as good an anything else out there. Nothing superlative, but solid.

Review: I am a Canon guy. My first camera was a TX, followed by a T80, with all of the interchangeable lenses that go along with them. This is my first Canon digital camera. I purchased this camera for our summer vacation. I put a premium on a small form ...

Pros: Great picture quality; lots of controls; large screen; optical view-finder; included SD card.

Cons: SD card is only 32 MB; some darkened edges or purple fringing

Review: The camera is sleek, fits nicely in my small hand, has simple controls and does exactly what is expected. However, every professional review I read spoke about purple fringing and this is definitely the case. While the effects of the purple fringing ...
