Canon PowerShot SD1000 Digital Camera Review

Canon PowerShot SD1000

Digital Camera Review

In February 2007, Canon announced the PowerShot SD750 and SD1000 digital cameras to replace the older SD630 and SD600 models. Don’t let the numbers fool you: the SD750 is the fancier camera with its 3-inch LCD screen compared to the SD1000’s 2.5-inch LCD. The Digital Elphs both have 7.1 megapixels and Digic III image processors with face detection technology.

Canon Powershot SD1000 Digi...
 
Value
The Canon PowerShot SD750 retails for $349 with its best feature being its 3-inch LCD screen. Taking runner-up with standard features is the $299 Canon PowerShot SD1000. Neither camera has stellar features deserving of their retail prices, though the addition of the Auto ISO shift feature is compelling. However, the point-and-shoot market is now saturated with full-features models that sell for less.
 
Who It’s For
Point-and-Shooters – The Canon PowerShot SD750 and SD1000 are built for this audience with their automated modes and compact forms.
 
Budget Consumers – These PowerShots aren’t standout models and their prices stand out a bit too much. Budget consumers will pass by the SD750 and SD1000.
 
Gadget Freaks – There isn’t much to look at on these models; nothing really stands out as a gadget lover’s dream.
 
Manual Control Freaks – These are not the cameras for this crowd.
 
Pros/Serious Hobbyists – The lack of manual control and legitimate handling features makes it a no go here.
