Product Description

Chic, simple. Canon looked to the very first ELPH for inspiration when designing the PowerShot SD1000 Digital ELPH, and came up with a quintessential iteration of the icon: slim, clean-lined and fully flat. Inside, the SD1000 Digital ELPH looks only to the future: 7.1 megapixels, a 3x optical zoom and advanced DIGIC III ensure top-quality images, while focus is fast and sharp and red-eye is automatically corrected. The large and more colorful LCD screen now has a tough, anti-reflective coating that makes it as durable as it is beautiful.

Love it!.......2007-09-26

I had a different point and shoot digital camera that broke on me, so I was a bit cautious about buying another one. After much research and talking to many different people this is the one we decided was worth the money. It has been a great little camera! It takes great shots and the clarity is amazing! The screen is super huge and all the settings are easy to navigate. I highly recommend this camera!!!

Surprising picture quality and good battery life.......2007-09-26

I bought this camera to use on an extended vacation this summer to some national parks out west. It's exceptionally easy to use and took excellent pictures, some of which we had printed in 11x17 size with great results. It's easy to use, is small enough for a shirt pocket, and the controls are intuitive. One drawback - while the LCD display is great indoors or on overcast days outdoors, don't count on being able to see the display on a bright sunny day. Learn to use the rangefinder and experiment with photos until you understand the difference in coverage of the rangefinder and LCD views. I took only still photos, and not many flash pictures, but the battery never ran down, even on days when we took 100 or so pictures.

Form, fit and function.......2007-09-26

Love:
a) The shape and size - fits perfectly in a tight jeans pocket. Perfect for taking on the go anywhere, esp parties
b) Appearance - it is actually sleeker than it looks in its pictures
c) Usability - all the functions that I use frequently are available as dedicated buttons (turn flash off; delete picture; etc)

Hate:
Nothing really. The only reason I've not had the results I've wanted is because of my own lack of knowledge of why it wouldn't take some pictures in a low light condition, and what I can do to override that situation.

Image quality disappointment.......2007-09-26

Bought it for my mom's birthday. Decided to compare picture quality indoors with my good old Fuju FinePix F30. Oh, why did I do it? :( At ISO 1600 my oldie kicked Canon's behind really hard. My mom loves taking pictures indoors :( Sorry, mom.

This is one great little camera!.......2007-09-25

I like this camera, it was a great upgrade from my hp. Small enough to fit anywhere, but it still has a large screen. The picture Quality is excellent - although you get some speckles on the dark pictures when you take the pics with the auto settings - but you would get that too on your average 35mm

so i was always a fan of the canon quality in their cameras - this one did not let me down

Canon SD850.......2007-09-22

This camera is simply awesome. It has many user features that were easy to figure out with out the manual, and is fun to use. I especially like the color accent mode. The zoom is also great because it doesn't distort the picture much.

The battery life is amazing - since I am used to my old Sony Cybershot sucking down batteries left and right.

The image stablizer works great too - as I have taken quite a few pictures of high speed action and the detail is sharp and is as if the subject was frozen in time.

I see only two cons in this camera. The first is there is no battery life meter - but to be honest, the battery life is so long anyway, if you charge the battery before a special occasion, it should be fine.

The last is how the lighting is adjusted indoors (during the day) when there is a window close by that throws off light. It makes the picture darker then I'd like, but it's nothing you can't work around.

But in all - I would highly recommend this camera for anyone. It is very compact which makes it easy to carry around, and very easy to use.

Fantabulous!.......2007-09-22

I have the Digital Elph that is about 2 steps below this one, and let me tell you both are fantastic! This Elphy has awesome photo quality and a stabilizer! BUY IT!!! Dooo itttt! you won't regret it.

great camera.......2007-09-21

Had and loved the 800IS but gave it to my brother for his tour in Iraq. The 850IS is very similar - compact, great pictures for a point and shoot. Optical image stabilization is key. No complaints yet.

Very good camera.......2007-09-20

Very good camera. It performs as promised considering it's a "point & shot". Size is perfect and it slides without a problem into your pants pocket. Good image colors, very intuitive and easy to use menus (you really use the different options)and also with a SD with extra Gigs you have good video. With these videos and good pictures you have a nice material to use in software programs like Photoshop Elements or other popular programs. My only concern, I would like more optical zoom.

Greatest little camera.......2007-09-18

This is such a sweet camera. Takes great pics. Very versatile. This is the only compact digital camera that has both an LCD and viewfinder. Easy to use menus. This is my second Canon compact digital camera, and they just keep getting better and better.

Life doesn't give you second chances to capture special times.

So now even when you're zooming in tight you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images. With DIGIC III, you get images of superior quality, the camera functions at top efficiency and battery life is significantly enhanced. What's more, DIGIC III enables Canon's newly improved Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Beside stills there's highly flexible movie mode, you can create the movie that's perfect for any application.

Already bought 2, gonna get one more........2007-09-26

I bought a Canon A570 for my mother and she loves it; and this week I bought another one for my best friend for her birthday. Even though I also recently purchased an Canon S5 IS for myself and will be ordering the Canon 40D soon (for more serious shots), I still plan on picking up one more A570 for myself because I like it so much.

Great little camera, except when lens wide open.......2007-09-24

I bought this camera and the features are incredible for the price. It feels a little cheap in the hands, but what doesn't that Canon makes these days?
I only have 1 issue with this camera that I didn't expect when I bought it...and that's blurriness when the lens is wide open. The right side of the pictures at apertures of 5.6 and larger (wider open) seem blurry, out of focus, and distorted. It's only about 10% if the image, but it's noticeable even on medium prints (5x7). Small prints probably not noticeable. If I stop down the aperture the blurriness goes away (f6.1 or smaller).
Other than that I have no complaints. It can focus great in lower light thanks to the decent AF-assist lamp. Flash is decent. It's very responsive to button presses
Flash cycling is very slow (about 8 seconds) but I knew that before I bought it and I'm ok with that, as it only has 2 AAs in it and I don't like using flash much anyway.
As far as image quality is concerned, I don't see much in the way of improvement in this DIGIC III over the older DIGIC II processing. There is definitely lower noise, but this no doubt due to more noise reduction. For consumers who print images directly from their camera, this is great. However I'd rather perform my noise reduction in post with NeatImage, so I prefer the DIGIC II processing.
I use the 'MyColors' setting with Saturation at +1, Sharpening at 0, Contrast at +1. This allows me to sharpen in post if I want to, however even without sharpening the images come out acceptable.
The White Balance settings are nice. It can be set manually which is awesome for a camera this cheap.
Concerning image quality settings, I forgoe the Superfine and just use the Fine setting. It looks just as good as the Superfine (to me) while allowing many more images to be stored.
I don't know if it was just my camera or they are all like this, but the removable lens ring around the barrel seemed to be loose, and rattled a little. I didn't notice this on my A710 IS, but perhaps the build quality is lower of this camera (in fact I know it is. This is a dangerous direction Canon is taking with their more recent products). I was considering buying the Lumix-LZ7 simply because it felt so nice in my hands, very solid and comfortable. But the image quality kept me away from that camera.
So, I would say great camera. Although I think the A710 IS is a bit better, not because the zoom range is better but because the lens is better concerning blurriness at shooting wide open.

Very pleased........2007-09-22

I can begin to stress how pleased I am with this camera. Incredibly easy to use and takes fantastic pictures. It will eat up batteries so I would recommend a set of rechargeable batteries. Only negative that I have noticed is that it's a little tricky to do low level light shots, you need to make sure you are using higher ISO settings to get good pictures.

Image stabilization is FANTASTIC, and that alone makes this camera worth buying.

Review of Canon Camera.......2007-09-20

I am very satisfied w/ this camera. It has all of the features that I desire and then some. It is exactly what I need.

Great Camera.......2007-09-19

This is my first stand alone digital camera. I read tons and tons of reviews on several cameras and decided that this was the best "bang for the buck" camera for me. I am new to photography and mainly wanted a camera to take pictures of my kids and family events. This camera works great! It takes EXCELLENT pictures. The quality by far surpassed my expectations. I have yet to print the pictures but viewing them on my high resolution PC screen, they are great!

It is very easy to view pictures you have previously taken. You can zoom in, delete, and do some minor editing like removing red eye. The camera has both the LCD viewer and a view finder. You can take a panoramic view set using a preset the camera has which is really cool. You can even shoot video, which is pretty decent quality. I am highly impressed and glad I purchased this camera.

The camera has tons of features that are easy to use and understand, even for a new adopter like me. I highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a great digital camera!

Nice little camera but with compromises.......2007-09-25

Overall, this is a nice little camera. The best part is the wide angle lens. You can't find that in another subcompact that still has a viewfinder and Image Stabilization.

The only drawback to this and the other small Canons we have looked at is they seem to over compress the jpg image and you get softness. The pictures just don't look as crisp as other cameras.

camera.......2007-09-24

This is a great easy to use camera! Very light with lots of options, functions fantastic and takes great pictures.

Great Camera.......2007-09-23

This is a great digital camera! As this is my second PowerShot, they just keep getting better. Excellent size and weight. Takes great pictures outdoors especially. The wide angle lens on this camera makes it unique for a small camera like this. I can't say enough good things about this camera. A must have!

I love it........2007-09-23

I am very pleased with my new camera. It is easy to use, but has considerable flexibility in allowing me to adjust my picture-taking to the circumstances I find myself in. It is simple to connect to my computer for downloading images, and, for me, most importantly, it provides some stability to compensate for my shaky hands.

I love it!.......2007-09-22

I got this camera for my birthday and I love the ease of use and great photo quality. The video works well, too, just don't zoom while filming because you can hear the lens moving.

Amazon didn't tell me in their ad but - what's in the box. Do I need to buy a case, battery, memory card. What is in the box?

Got it today, is it me......?.......2007-09-24

Is it me or has the QUALITY of these digital cameras gone downhill? I am the owner of a VERY old Fuji 5MP camera (when 5MP were $400) and the image quality of the photos that Fuji takes is way better than this one boasting 7MP!! Also, I keep hearing how clear the LCD is, but on mine it has noise! Sure it is a large screen for the camera size, but the noise detracts alot from the image. On my old Fuji, the screen is flawless. I dont get it. Didi I get a defective cam or does every model contain the LCD noise that I speak of? Other than that, it seems to work fine and for $130 bucks, I guess a 7MP cam is pretty darn good despite the noisy LCD screen.

exellent for price.......2007-09-23

This is a very affordable camera that offers good resolution and tons of manual controls for those who are starting to transition away from point and shoots. It uses AA batteries which work out pretty decently. The pictures are great. For the money though, I'd say it is one of the better cameras around.

Great digital camera for the money.......2007-09-22

Looked at a lot of similar digital cameras. The camera is more responsive than others that we looked at including our previous Canon. This camera is a great deal.

EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CAMERA IS GREAT, EXCEPT THEY ONLY WENT WITH A 2 BATTERY SYSTEM. THAT MAKES THE BATTERIES NOT LAST AS LONG AS A 4 BATTERY ONE. THAT'S THE ONLY THING WRONG. CANNON MAKES A VERY GOOD PRODUCT IN ALL RESPECTS.

Awesome photos, but bad extras........2007-09-26

I love this camera. It takes awesome photos and the flip screen comes in handy a lot. The only problem is that they sent me the wrong hook up for my computer. It's too small.

Great pix, terrible shutter lag.......2007-09-26

A very good camera, super clear pictures, very handy view screen that swivels all around, but a terribly slow lag time between pushing the shutter button and the camera actually taking the picture.

It is reallyworthwhile the mony.......2007-09-25

Although it looks so-so (cheap plastic), but the image quality is really worthwhile to have it. Especially with the price less than $200 and with the 2.5 inch LCD screen that can be twisted at different angle. I love the AA battery model, that you can always have batteries handy.

Canon Powershot A630 is all it claims to be .......2007-09-24

I also have a Canon Powershot A540 that is the best camera that I have ever owned...until now. I was looking for a higher mp and a stronger flash and the A630 fits the bill so nicely. It's as simple a camera with superb results as you wish, but also has more technical capabilities for the advanced photographer. I highly recommend this camera!

Good camera, frustrating sometimes.......2007-09-23

I'll let you read the specs for what this camera has and just use this space to explain the biggest thing I noticed. It is a very good camera with many good features. The points below are mostly negative, but none of them are big enough to make me want a different camera.

1) Like all digital cameras, the shutter delay is frustrating. My laughing baby will turn his head and look away from the time I press the shutter and the time the picture is actually taken.

2) It is hard to get good auto-focused pictures indoors. I assume it has to do with lower light inside, but it is frustrating to see a good picture on the display only to see it fuzzy when you download it.

3) Sometimes it won't take pictures. I don't know if it is waiting for the flash to charge or what, but I can point at what I think is a well lit shot, push the shutter, and nothing happens.

4) Frustrating that the display is more light sensitive than the camera. I wanted a picture of my baby sleeping. I could see him just great in the display (it was dark, but that is what it looks like in real life and what I wanted to capture), but the picture comes out black. You can get the picture if you play around with one of the manual modes, but it is always a guess what you will get. It would be nicer if the display was more WYSIWYG.

5) Battery life is great!

6) You can get great images out of this camera and 8 MP is great when you want to crop.

7) I love the ability to take multiple pictures on a timer.

8) The video comes out very well.

9) A speck of dust appeared on the inside of the lens. I am not sure how it got there or how to get it out, but it doesn't seem to affect the pictures. Annoying, none the less.

10) The software is useless unless you want to stitch pictures together.

5 of 5 For This camera.......2007-09-26

Bought this one as a replacement for an old 2.1Mp Sony DSC-P50.. When i took my first picture and downloaded to my iBook the images spoke by themselves.. The quality is impressive and all the features on this camera are more than excellent for average to advances photographers (without spending twice or more on a dSLR)

Great camera.......2007-09-26

I bought a 2 GB memory card to to use with the camera and had trouble transferring the photos to 700 MB Cd's, I think I will buy two 1 GB memory cards. The camera works GREAT I am glad I bought it.

Product works great, feel it was a better buy here than at local chain store

GREAT CAMERA.......2007-09-22

I have had an old Canon SLR for a hundred years, and this is my first digital camera. It is Great!
Read many reviews regarding different makes, and decided to stay with Canon....you can't go wrong. For a general purpose camera with the added function for zoom (ball games etc) it can't be beat. And, for a first time digital user it is very easy to learn. Anyone want to buy an old Canon SLR?

Great Value.......2007-09-21

A great little camera with a few shortcommings.......2007-09-25

I shoot primarily with digital SLRs, but there is always a time when you don't have your camera bag with you and there is a photo opportunity. Camera phones just don't cut the cake for this (yet). For the last four years, I used a Powershot S230, and it filled that purpose wonderfully but the 3" screen on the SD750 called me in like the Sirens of mythology. In general, I have been very satisfied with the SD750, but there have been a few items I did not like.

Let me start with the positives: The 3" screen is bright and sharp. Everyone who sees the camera loves it. The face detection software works great. For taking photos of family and friends, this will be the point and shoot camera you will want to have. The price is reasonable. TIP: Don't compare cameras by simply the megapixel size! Two things create sharp photographs. The camera sensor, and the quality of the lens. With the Canon SD750, both of these are the best quality you can find in a small camera. The SD750 takes decent videos as well. The menu system is easy to navigate.

Now for the negatives: There is a price to pay for the large preview screen. Battery life is low. With five minutes of video, I was only able to shoot 200 still images before I had a low battery warning. You will want to invest in a spare battery. Digital zoom in the video mode is terrible. Be careful not to go beyond the 3x optical range when using this feature. As others have noted, the on/off button is small and recessed and requires a fingernail to operate. Results with this camera have been inconsistent. While I have taken some nice portraits, some shots have demonstrated a tendency towards soft focus. I have the silver model. Some reviewers have said that this is not the case with the black model, so you may want to stick with that. There is no image stabilization on this camera. If you don't have a steady hand, you may want to get a camera that has that feature.

Great Camera.......2007-09-23

The Canon SD750 is one of the best cameras around. Great quality in a compact camera. I love how the package came complete with a charger, usb cable, video cable, and even a 32mb card(although I will probably upgrade to a at least a 2gb). It has a lot of features, including color accent, which is my favorite. The tilt screen is very innovative. The 3" screen is nice to have. I'd absolutely recommend this camera to anyone searching for a point-and-shoot camera between $200-300 price range. I used to have a exilim s500, and although the style of the exilim cameras are sleek, they do not offer the performance of a Canon.

Just what I wanted.......2007-09-21

This is and incredible camera, the resolution is excelent and the zoom is really good too. The menu is a little difficult to master at first, but once you do, it becomes incredibly easy

Great product.......2007-09-21

So far, I am fully satisfied with my purchase. The menu interfase is not intuitive, but I can live with it.

camera great: amazon free shipping sucks.......2007-09-21

Lots of functionality yet easy to use. Survived a drop on the rocks already. This camera rules; you won't be sorry. You will however be sorry if you select Amazon free shipping. Took almost 3 weeks to get the camera, which was in stock. Lame Amazon, lame. Should have paid the extra 20 bucks and bought it locally.

Shipping was a little slow, but that was only because I ordered it right before Labor Day weekend, so that is to be expected. Arrived in perfect condition. Great camera. A+

A gr8 Camera!.......2007-09-24

The Canon EOS 400D / Rebel XTi is a great entry-level digital SLR which improves on its predecessor in many respects. It has higher resolution without compromising noise levels, a wide variety of anti-dust features, a bigger screen which doubles-up for detailed shooting information, the AF system of its bigger brother and fast overall handling.
The only thing that's missing is a cheap lens bundle with Image Stabilisation. This will undoubtedly have potential buyers carefully weighing it up!
Owners of the original EOS 300D / Digital Rebel who avoided the 350D / XT will find it hard to resist the new 400D / XTi. Upgrading will get them a smaller and lighter body with much faster startup, along with a considerably higher resolution sensor, bigger screen, improved AF and anti-dust capabilities. They're all big step-ups and well worth making the move!!
I would recommend this camera for all amateur photographers like me!! :)

Very happy with this camera.......2007-09-22

I already have a Canon Elan IIe, but it's time to go digital. While looking into digital SLR's, I saw that this was the best bang for my buck. Tons of features and a great price. When you compare it to its competition, the Nikon D80, the price is a lot better. It seems that with Nikon, the price gets raised a bit due to its name. But that doesn't always mean its better. For my needs, this is great. It's good enough for a beginner and is more than enough camera if you decide to grow and get more into photography.

My only problem was when I got the camera, it seemed to underexpose pictures. I literally had to keep the exposure compensation up about a stop or so to get normal looking photos. I looked online and saw this was a big problem with a lot of people, so I returned the camera and had a new one sent. The new one is fine and works perfect. Unfortunately, when I called Canon they denied the problem even though it's all over the web on every forum and review. But hey, the new camera is fine....must have gotten one of the bad ones. Maybe they're working on it, who knows.

Also, the kit lens is just OK. It's a bit slow, but for the price I don't expect a 2.8 or 1.4. Maybe consider buying the body only and using the extra money for a better lens.

All in all, I'm happy with it!

You Can't Be Serious.......2007-09-23

This camera has all of the features a serious photographer would want: a comparatively large 1/1.7 sensor, full manual controls, almost-useable manual focus, and raw image capability. But that's where it fails miserably. While the industry is trying to standardize image formats, Canon chose to introduce yet another propriatary raw format. Photoshop doesn't recognize it. Both Apple's Aperature and Lightzone can open the file, but the white point is w_a_y off. So one must load Canon's kludgy image browser/image processor (yet /more/ software and disk space and time) only because of Canon's format decision.
This is one of many nice snapshot cameras if you only shoot JPGs. If you're a serious photographer, then save your money in case the Sigma DP-1 turns out to not be vaporware.
And it looks like maybe Canon is distancing itself from this thing; their camera registration link for the G9 is dead.

Plagued by stuck pixels.......2007-09-23

I have bought and returned 3 PowerShot G9 cameras because of stuck pixels.

I really like the features and size of the G9, but I cannot accept it if has stuck pixels.

The first G9 I bought had two stuck pixels in every shot I took: One bright red one near the center and one faint green one about 3/4ths to the right. The stuck pixels were present in the image files. This was a major defect.

The second G9 I bought had a bright blue stuck pixel on the LCD screen whenever the shot was previewed through the LCD viewfinder, but no stuck pixels in review mode (when the LCD was viewing pictures but not taking them), and no stuck pixels on uploaded pictures. This one was strange -- a distracting blue dot on your LCD viewfinder which isn't a permanent LCD display defect but always appears in camera mode. I suspect a software bug or something with the lenses/mirrors which only affects the LCD viewfinder.

The third G9 I bought had a faint green pixel stuck on the LCD. I have not fully tested the extent of this stuck pixel (LCD, CCD, etc.) yet, because I will be returning the G9.

I bought these three G9s from different venues (stores), and all had these problems. But since they were all right after the G9 was first released, it's possible they all came from the same bad manufacturing lot.

Great camera, great features, great size, so long as you don't get stuck pixels.

I've reluctantly switched to a S5 IS. I'd rather have 8 megapixels which work, than 12 megapixels which are a crap-shoot.

More megapixels is not always better, and Canon seems to have spread the pixels too far in the G9.

Caveat emptor.

Crap UI, documentation, and Mac compatibility.......2007-09-23

Come on Canon. I've 'docked' 4 plus digital cameras to my Mac and this is the first one that didn't just work. Also, the UI on the camera SUCKSASS!. Out of the box, I want to throw this thing across the room. This is not my first rodeo, if it was. I'd say, my bad... So far, so bad. I'll load your proprietary software and see if I can actually download some images to my computer. How about you just let me use my computer and my software and not have to download 600k of crappy software, please. I was a Nikon guy and was swayed to Canon for many reason, Clearly; UI, compatibility, and ease of initial use are not something Canon is interested in.
Stay tuned, I'll be back.

Incredible camera; very worthy upgrade from the G7.......2007-09-22

If you're a photographer who cares about image quality, and can't always lug around a DSLR, buy this camera. You will have no regrets.

I've had its predecessor, the G7, for about a year. It has been my normal always-in-the-bag camera. The G7 was limited at ISO 400; the G9 isn't. My normal workflow with the G9 is to use CS3 to import RAW images (fixing chromatic abberation on the way into CS3 in 16-bit mode), and then to use Noise Ninja to clean up image noise. With this workflow, ISO 400 and ISO 800 are completely usable. (You can also play with some other settings in Adobe Camera Raw, like Recovery.)

And for everyone: you really should never, ever use a built-in strobe on a camera. The G9 (like the G7) has a hot shoe. Use it!

Canon fixed a bunch of the G7's problems in the G9, the most glaring of which is the G9 now has a battery meter! (I can't tell you how much that lapse bugged me.) The new LCD monitor is much, much bigger -- and gorgeous. And best of all, the camera body is the exact same size and shape, and fits in my underwater housing. (Update: not all the buttons work. The most glaring problem is possibly the zoom can't be changed, and that you can't change to macro mode underwater. I'll probably get the new housing, but the existing one is functional.)

Nits: the new cover for the USB connector is a downgrade, but one that I can put up with. The lens is unchanged, and has a fair bit of barrel distortion at its widest angle. You can clean up the barrel distortion somewhat in CS3, but straight horizontal lines become slightly wavy. I'm being hyper-picky here, but please know that you're not replacing a DSLR with a prime wide angle lens. You're just buying a small camera that you can take anywhere.

Buy it. Shoot lots of pictures with it. Be happy!

Very good.......2007-09-22

This model isn't currently available in my area (DC) but I got it in less than 24hrs after ordering on Amazon (this was with FedEx Ground!). The camera is well built and the controls are easy. So far the picture quality is excellent in all the test shots I have taken. I recommend this camera to anyone with more than just a passing interest in taking pictures.
