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.

Rating : - Love This Camera
I had a Canon PowerShot SD450 before this one but I broke that one so I purchased this one. It takes good quality pictures, has features for creativity (B&W, Sepia, etc), and the preview screen in the back is large so you can see what you're taking a picture of very well. Some digital cameras have tiny preview screens which I hate - but this one is excellent in size. It also is easy to use & navigate, doesn't have a very long delay between pushing the button and the picture. It can focus on up to 5 faces at once (although sometimes it picks odd objects for the "face" in a picture that doesn't have people in them). It has good zoom as well. I can't rave enough, I definitely suggest it. Oh, it also has a rechargeable battery which I have found to be a must with digital cameras as they use up regular batteries very quickly.
