Canon PowerShot SD1000
Digital Camera Review
Mar 20, 2007
- By Emily Raymond
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.

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.
