| Canon PowerShot SD1000/IXUS 70 Digital Camera Review The Canon PowerShot SD1000 digital ELPH is an ultra compact camera no bigger than the size of a pack of cigarette. In Europe and Asia it is known as Canon IXUS 70. Designed as a point and shoot camera, it contains some features suitable for some tuff tasks in its price range. Let's find out how this little guy performs. http://www.madshrimps.be/gotoartik.php?articID=589

| Although the SD1000 does not have RAW image capability, the bundle software includes RAW image process. This is good news because I believe Nikon charges for this software. Canon Customer Service is quite responsive in using email. The review unit "dust inside the viewfinder" required me to send the unit to local repair facility. Rather than doing that, I simply returned it to Sam's Club where I purchased it and I walked out with a new replacement. The Canon Rebel was also returned to the retailer for replacement when the flash did not work the first time. I wonder what others may experience with Canon quality control.

| no ISO test ? It's incredibly important to know, film grain or not. Sometimes you have to bump the ISO and it's nice to know whether this will return a useless image or a somewhat usefull image. Some camera's (escpecialy the smaller ones) even have a lot of noise (and noise reduction artifacts) at lower ISO settings. |

| I normally stay away from using any high ISO; no difference than film. Likely compensate by using tripod for longer exposure or fill in flash. Higher ISO means more grains or Noise. Nikon D40 has ISO starting 200

The D40 might start at ISO200, but it has a CCD that is a lot larger, so signal/noise ratio is compareable to a fixed-lens camera at ISO50. | |

| Night vision camera Most compact and ultra compact Digicams don't have RAW, you have to pay for it. There is only slight improvement; it is a matter of physics despite image compression. We will get there closer. Otherwise, we don't need flash. Better to have a fast lens if money is not the issue.
