An otherwise great camera ruined by the poor flash.

Cons Lousy flash, battery charger is huge.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this camera on a cruise when my other camera failed. In general, I've been pleased with it. the resolution and color balance are very satisfactory. The speed with which it writes to the media also exceeds my expectations. The operating controls are flexible, yet simple, and the automatic... Read full review »

Pros Qulality product Feels substantial Looks good Weather-proof
Cons Viewfinder too dark! Deal breaker.
Recommended it? No

I've been using a 3.0 mpxl Olympus Stylus for the last 2 years.. LOVE it!! Weather-proof.. bullet-proof..Idiot-proof. The only problem is my wife and I are constantly fighting over it so last week we agreed we'd buy another. Did my usual anal research and decided we'd try the Olympus Stylus 740....

Canon PowerShot Digital Elph SD1000 7.1-Megapixel Compact Digital Camera

bydkozin May 11, 2007
76 Helpfuls 77 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Size, looks, weight, large screen, fast operation, pleasing photos, price
Cons No manual control over aperture or shutter speed, no optical image stabilization
Recommended it? Yes

Since I have always liked Canon Digital Elph cameras (e.g. 6-Megapixel SD600 and the 7.1-Megapixel SD800 IS), I had to see how good the new Canon SD1000 is. The SD1000 is a 7.1-Megapixel camera that is less expensive than the SD700 IS or SD800 IS. Does lower price warrant worse performance and... Read full review »

Pros Excellent picture quality, great price, lots of features, large screen, ultra compact,...
Cons Little bit of lag with flash, could use image stabilization for low-light zoomed pictures
Recommended it? Yes

I have noticed a pattern in the purchasing of electronics in my household. It can only be described by the cliche "when it rains, it pours." My fiance and I will go for periods of several months without making any electronics purchases, only to follow it with an electronics shopping spree. This... Read full review »
