  Introduction:

Canon digital ELPH and IXUS series camera began life in 2000 maintaining its ultra compact designed for ease of carry and "ready to shot". Canon model numbering system is quite confusing. For example, the “PowerShot SD850 IS” is not the same in design as the SD600 or SD1000 ELPH, and it carries a higher price tag.

Canon SD1000 features: 7.1 megapixel, a 3X optical and 4X digital zoom, in a package that measures approximately 86x54x19 mm. It comes in all silver or black as the review sample. It weights in a little more than 4-oz or 125 grams. It is not only the compact size and lightweight attractions that most buyers are after, but also what this camera could deliver at a moderate price of less than US$250.
