I like Canon equipment. I have an older ELF and it's starting to make a noise like it might want to die, so I though I'd buy another Canon. "shirt pocket" camera. The A1000 is a good camera with all the features needed, but I am still at a loss for what I used to call "having the ability to paint a picture" by using focus and depth of feild. This is something that eludes these pocket cameras. And the other BIG thing that eludes is recovery time. THe recovery time between shutter clicks is at times very long and thus anoying. (Another way to say I missed a photo I really wanted while waiting for the camera to catch up.) OK, I know. Spend more money and get the features. But then you have a larger camera or a two volume instruction manuel about pressing two buttoms at the same time to effect the focus. Arg.....I can't do that. My fingers are too fgat, and I'll miss the shot again. But I guess I'll get use to it or they'll come out with stronger batteries and beter bhyte readers that recycle faster. Am tyaking this camera to Greece and Paris in a ew weeks, so we'll see what we'll see. Wish me luck!Read full review
If you travel to a third world country, this is your best companion. A point and shoot camera lets you take quick photos unobstrusively. It is powered by the commonest of all batteries : AA size. It records on the most universal memory card : the SD. It is not too big (like SLR models)or too small (like tiny pocket models)and allows your hand a firm, steady grip. It has an optical viewfinder when broad daylight and sunshine render the LCD screen useless. I bought it as a Christmas present to a relative living in a third world country.
I bought two. The first one had such a low price I jumped at it without reading the description that included "for parts or repair". I don't know if I could ever use it for parts and I probably wouldn't spend the extra money to have it repaired. The second camera is what I gave the attached rating for which I am pleased. I use this camera regularly. My only problem so far is that it indicates "replace battery". I have learned that the batteries, which are the over the counter type, are actually still charged. There must be a problem with the camera's sensor of the level of the battery. A newer model of the Canon Power Shot caught my eye at Costco, which was on sale for $50 off the $149 price, but I thought I could get a comparable, less sophisticated used camera of the same model on eBay. I think the higher level of megapixels is overrated, unless real professional quality is the objective. So I am pleased with the purchase and will use eBay for future purchased when I need something.

The A1000 is not the latest model from Canon but selecting it was well worth the 30-45 minutes it took me to browse some reviews on the internet. I subscribe to Consumer Reports and its worth every penny of the cost. The A1000 received high marks from CR so I searched out other reviews from other sources. All concluded that this camera, even though it has been superseded by newer models, has some extremely attractive features. The picture quality is very good for a 10 megapixel camera. It's small, light-weight, easy to set-up, and has a robust set of features. I bought it because my DSLR is sometimes just too big and bulky for events like weddings, banquets, and the like. My experience in taking indoors and outdoors pictures with the A1000 has so far been very good. The refurbished kit I purchased on eBay included the camera, memory card, a cleaning kit, a portable tripod, and the batteries. I was ready to take pictures 5 minutes after opening the box. I really can't say enough good things about this camera.Read full review
I bought the Canon Powershot A1000 IS 10 Megapixel camera because I got a great deal on it, it's fairly easy to use, and because I can download pics to my computer or directly to my printer with ease. This is my first digital camera, and I'm very happy with the results that I have gotten so far. Because I only use it occasionally, battery life is not an issue for me, although according to the reviews I have read, it is not for the avid photographer. It is compact and works well with a tall tripod, and the anti red-eye is perfect for my use. I'm by no means an expert, but this camera is exactly the right fit for me. I would recommend it as the beginning camera for anyone interested in a light, compact, do it all unit, or for those not too electronically inclined like myself. I have not found any negatives after about a month of use.Read full review
