Canon SD1000 / Digital IXUS 70

Pros: Great photo quality, ease of use.

Cons: Too many glitches, Lens errors, and poor customer service

The Bottom Line: It's a great camera if you're looking forward to buying another in a year. Not for someone who is looking for a camera with a lifetime of use!

Review: I have always loved the durability of Canon products. Most of their cameras, at first glance, look sturdy and trustworthy, mostly because of the fact that they are not made with shoddy plastic casing. Most Canon cameras can withstand elements of the ...

Pros: Small, fast, cute as a bug's ear. Good lcd.

Cons: Flawed circuitry or lens gears render camera useless. Canon does not honor in warranty.

The Bottom Line: This is not a robust camera. Consider another brand.

Review: The SD 1000 is a sweet little camera with a less than intuitive interface and fatal flaws in lens synchronization, which Canon refuses to honor in warranty. Don't buy it. With just over a year with the Canon SD 1000, moderate use and good care, the ...

Pros: Cute form factor

Cons: Too light for a paperweight

The Bottom Line: House of pain

Review: DO NOT buy Canon products unless the terms offer a full refund. "My" SD1000 arrived malfunctioning. I could have returned it for another one, but I've played that hand already. After another sample of a bad batch, I end up changing manufacturers while ...

Pros: Compact. Sleek. Easy to use.

Cons: TERRIBLE TERRIBLE PHOTO QUALITY unless you are under full sun.

Review: Got an excellent service from S-410 for over 2 years. Then i dropped it and broke its LCD. Hence i started looking for a digital camera. It had to be CANON since it gives best photo quality. I looked at my options and like SD1000 although i did see some ...

Pros: Good picture image when it actually takes one

Cons: MASSIVE PROBLEM WITH UNRELIABLE LENSE FUNCTION. DO NOT BUY

Review: I bought my ixus 70 at the end of January. By the end of March the lens was playing up and kept saying "lens error" Its currently in for repair but at 4 months old I just want my money back. I dont trust the thing. It had other issues but I think they ...

Pros: Small, great pic's large viewfinder

Cons: "Lens Error" rendered camera inoperable

Review: Plus: A lovely little camera, takes great pics, recommended by Which? magazine BUT it seems to have a design flaw. After a few weeks it started giving intermittent "Lens Error. Restart camera " messages. Then after another week or two it permanently gave ...

Pros: Compact camera size with large lcd screen, Incredible battery life.

Cons: Can't think of any.

Review: My wife and I bought this camera right before our wedding. This is our 8th digital camera. Before purchasing I assumed that all digital camera's eat battery's after about 20-50 pictures taken. I was always so disappointed with digital camera's until we ...

Pros: Very easy to use.

Cons: None

Review: I have this camera. It takes good pictures and is easy to use. Easy to figure out without reading the manual (I hate reading manuals) Basic cannon functions My son figured it out by the simple pictures on it. ...
