highly recommended

mostly good some bad

i like the camera. takes good pictures when your outside. they rock. kinda takes a long to take the picture. i like all the different features that it has. i dont like the editing software that came with it for my mac. i also went to a concert and you had to be pretty close to get a good picture with the camera. but it really for the most part takes good pictures.

Great little camera

We've had several small cameras, both cannon and sony. This one takes the consistently best pictures, is nice and small so you always have it with you, and everything works. I've had mine for over a year, and it has seen its share of abuse. I even dropped it off a 6' ladder climbing out of an attic - not a scatch or dent - amazing, yes it still works. I've had one error due to sand in the lens (use a case when sticking it in your pocket) but turned it off and on again, and everything worked fine since. The battery lasts a long time on one charge, and a 2-gig memory card is decent for quite a few pictures. It downloads fast to an xp computer with the supplied cable. All in all, I love this camera and would buy another one if I accidently dropped it in the lake or something like that.

Very Nice Little Camera

I bought this camera about a year ago. I live in the US in a very scenic area. I've used this camera for photographing people, wildlife, and scenery. Yesterday, I was out getting some area shots for a scrapbook I'm working on and as an aside played with some of the features I hadn't used much before.

Some wildlife showed up that I was able to get some great shots of, a great blue heron, a doe and her fawn, then the doe running when her baby went out of sight. I have so many pictures of the heron that I don't really need all of them which will make it difficult to decide how many and which ones to print.

I tend to use it mostly in auto mode but have begun to experiment. Yesterday I experimented with the mode which takes one photo right after another. It worked great and enabled me to photograph a man learning to hang glide as the parachute looking glider went from flat on the ground to airborn and the man going over the bluff to the field below.

My camera said there were 400 pictures on it yesterday when I downloaded the photos to my computer. Most of those were from yesterday. I had charged up the battery the other day and it died on me yesterday so I had to quit taking pictures. That's the first time I've had that happen. Before I've always charged it up when I figured it needed it. Unfortunately I didn't have a back up battery. I have 3 coming that I ordered today.

One thing I really like about this camera is that it takes SD memory which is widely available, available in a range of memory, and can often be found on sale at various stores. My other digital camera has memory that is brand specific.

This is my third digital camera. The first came free when we bought a printer. The second one was much nicer but this Canon camera is much more compact. I carry it around in my purse so I can take a photo at a moment's notice.

Within the last couple of weeks I've taken probably close to 1,000 photos. A lot of them are indeed junk shots but those are easily deleted. The camera gives options to select which photos you want to delete.
The only problem I've had with the camera is that it suddenly wouldn't download from the camera any more. I double and triple checked that everything was set up correctly. Fortunately we have a newer printer that I can load the SD card into and it sends the photos to the computer for me. I can also print right from the printer and bypass the computer entirely.

There are a lot of features the camera offers that I've not played with yet but the one I used a lot yesterday was the kids and pets mode. This mode is great for anything that moves. This is one of the modes that offers the continuous option which I used yesterday for photographing the wildlife and the paraglider student.

I'm a wanna be photographer with no formal training but have been blessed on many occasions such as yesterday to get some great shots even though I don't know as much as want to about shutter speeds, f/stops, and such.

Lightweight & compact

The SD 1000 is light enough to be carried for any occasion, plus durable to resist most bumps and shock, ( it can be dropped on concrete, and survive). The camera fits in most pockets for easy access. The picture quality is as good as other camera's in the $150-$180 price range. Plenty of features, fun to use. Good buy.
