Very good

7.8

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.8 out of 10
Reviewed by Philip Ryan
Review date: 3/14/07

The good: Excellent image quality; solid build quality; speedy performance; optical viewfinder; face detection.

The bad: No manual exposure controls.

The bottom line: Small size, excellent image quality, and a solid, though not extensive, feature set make the SD1000 a great choice for a compact camera.

Product brief - Canon PowerShot SD1000 Digital ELPH (Silver)
Hide

Description: The Canon PowerShot SD1000 is a 7.1-megapixel, ultra-compact camera. Compared to other ultra-compact digital cameras on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $185.

Pros: Has a 0.7 in thickness, which is somewhat thinner than some similarly priced digital cameras. Also, this digital camera weighs just 4.4 ounces weight. Weighing in at only 4.5 ounces, this digital camera is very light even among compacts.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: An ultra-compact digital camera, suited for everyday snapshot photography. A recommended use, based on key features, is framed photos for the home. The largest recommended print size, estimated from the camera's resolution, is 12x16 or larger.

Value: Overall, this digital camera's features are as expected for this price. However, the average price of ultra-compact cameras with comparable resolution is considerably more, around $225.

Suggestions: For more help in deciding if this is the best digital camera for you, visit the buying guide for digital cameras at CNET Reviews.
