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.

 

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.
