Canon PowerShot SD1000 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)

Description:
Chic, simple. Canon looked to the very first ELPH for inspiration when designing the PowerShot SD1000 Digital ELPH, and came up with a quintessential iteration of the icon: slim, clean-lined and fully flat. Inside, the SD1000 Digital ELPH looks only to the future: 7.1 Megapixels, a 3x optical zoom and advanced DIGIC III ensure top-quality images, while focus is fast and sharp and red-eye is automatically corrected. The large and more colorful LCD screen now has a tough, anti-reflective coating that makes it as durable as it is beautiful.

Customer Review:
This was an upgrade to an earlier Elph model which - after years of abuse and neglect - finally stopped working. I also have a digital SLR and would consider myself to be an advanced amateur photographer.

Image Quality is very good. Based on other reviews, I almost didn't buy this camera. The reviews sounded like this would be a step backward, but that certainly hasn't been my experience. The quality is every bit as good as other camera's I've used - better when you consider the megapixel count. The quality is not as good as my DSLR, but that camera and lens cost over $2000! If my DSLR is a 10, I'd say this is at least an eight.
Tips for better results:
- I adjusted the ISO setting. The camera comes pre-set to automatically adjust ISO. As a result, it will allow you to take grainy high ISO pictures at times when the camera really ought to tell you to turn on lights or use a flash instead. I set my camera so that I usually shoot on ISO 80, and never above ISO 200. This will dramatically cut-down on the "noise" seen in the photos. I only go above 200 when it's dark in the room, the subjects are moving around, and I can't turn on the lights or use a flash. In reality, that's a pretty uncommon scenario.
- I view the photos at the size they're meant to be seen - where they take of the full screen, or smaller. I wonder how many of the disappointed reviewers are simply looking at the images fully "blown up" and are therefore disappointed. The photography pros call this "pixel peeping."
- I turn off "digital zoom." This is just a marketing gimmick. You get closer to the subject by cropping off megapixels and (to make it worse) then blowing-up the image to fit the original size, so it significantly impacts image quality.

Features to love:
- The start-up time is fantastic. No more missed shots.
- Movie mode. This camera offers a larger size and better frame rate than most on the market. It's great for those times when we don't want to lug the video camera around.
- The "vivid" color setting is nice way to add some visual "punch" to my photos, without taking the time to edit them in Photoshop.


Customer Review:
In this product, I found a lightweight and compact machine. There are several option to tinker with. Picture quality seems to be much better than my 5mp Kodak camera. The display screen is adequate, though not huge. Display menus seem to be logical and easy to navigate. It helps that I had a Canon camera in the past.

Customer Review:
This camera is very fast and easy to use. Build seems to be of high quality. It comes with a plug-in battery charger, which means that you don't have to charge the battery inside the camera via USB (great if you have a spare battery). Haven't had a chance to test all of the different options and settings, but after two days everything looks great.

Only con: Shipping and delivery were slow from Amazon. Despite the fact the the camera was listed as being in stock and shipping within 24 hours, it took several days to ship. The item shipped from Fresno, CA (on DHL) and was routed to my house in Tucson, AZ via Sacramento, Ohio, Colorado, and Phoenix. From there it was transferred to USPS in Tucson, which delayed it an additional day.

Customer Review:
I am very happy with this camera. It does not produce the quality of images of my D200, but it fits in my shirt pocket and that is why I made the purchase. The D200 will not fit.

Customer Review:
This camera performs to expectaions, is lightweight and easy to use. I have photographed various people in various locations and appreciate the face recognition feature. The IS seems to be a benefit as well.
The Canon case seems to be "classy", nice leather finish and magnetic clasp, but its durability is yet to be proven.
shipping from Amazon was timely and well executed.

Customer Review:
This is a very good product. Wish there were special scene modes like sunset/twilight like nikon has.


Canon PowerShot SD750 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)

Canon PowerShot SD750 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)

Description:
So much power in such a pint-sized package. The iconic ELPH is back, as beautiful as ever, with a updated resolution that captures radiant images in breathtakingly crisp color - all presented for preview on a brilliantly colorful 3" LCD screen. Plus, you'll enjoy more amazing features than ever, such as face detection, red-eye correction and time lapse movies. One-year warranty. Model CAN-SD750SILVER.

Customer Review:
Having used the SD1000 and the SD750 together for the same shots I can say that the SD750 offers more especially as there was no price difference on the day I purchased the SD750 (both were around 167 bucks). Earlier with the more than 50 bucks price difference I had recommended the SD1000 for price/value. At the new lower price the SD750 is the winner.

Neither model has the new Image Stabilization, which does not work so well on the SD series anyway when compared to other Canon cameras like S5. The SD750 has a 3" screen which makes shots easy to compose and view, while the SD1000 has a viewfinder with a 2.5" screen. Having used both cameras I'd take the larger screen size over the viewfinder any day as I hardly use the viewfinder. In size the SD1000 is a little more compact but the difference is barely noticeable. The SD750 has nicely rounded corners which are more aesthetically appealing to most people.

The SD750 also has a few more features in the software and better controls than the SD1000. The extra replay button at the back which lets you switch from camera to replay instantly is great. The extra Scene mode button on the top makes it faster and more convenient to get to the special modes like foliage, sunny beach, snow, portrait, nightshot, aquarium, kids and pets, fireworks and underwater. I have used all these special modes and I am very pleased with the results. Canon has really optimized the performance on each. It is so much better than fiddling with the manual controls while you lose the shot. If you read the manual carefully, you will get so much more out of this camera as it lets you get very creative with panoramic landscape shots, color swapping, color accent and different color modes.

The pictures from both cameras were comparable, both take excellent shots outdoors and don't have the best low light performance.

I also own a SD870 which has a wide angle lens and Image Stabilization. The software and all other features on the 870 are the same as 750, but the 870 costs much more. Although I like the 870 too, but I think the 750 delivers a great value for its current price.

This is the one I would buy as a gift. Very compact, good performance and intuitive controls that allow you to get creative in your shots.

Customer Review:
Excellent price for this little camera. With this thing, anyone can shoot fantastic pictures. The 3" lcd is beautiful. Buy it!

Customer Review:
I am really suprised with all the reviews I have been reading, for one this camera does not take good pictures at all. Every time I try to get a close up of my baby she squints because the red light is so bright and then most of the time the picture comes out too white, its almost like the flash is too strong for close ups. Regular pictures even come out grainy. I was really disappointed with that. Another thing is the action shots... yea right...dont even bother because those come out horrible.
Yes its compact, and the size and style is cool but the picture quality is not good.
The video portion however is probably the best I have seen it on a canon. It takes long and very clear sounding videos. So I was happy with that portion of it.
Also every time you tap the camera the wrong way the picture moves from horizontal to vertical which is really annoying.
I definitly do not like this camera or suggest it to anyone, especially if you like taking close up pics of your baby like I do.

Customer Review:
Really folks, I have taken some great photo's indoors and out with this camera. I have also taken some really sub-par photos with this camera. BUT, as I learn more and practice more, my pictures come out much better on average. This camera will do much more than a pocket point and shoot camera, but it does have a learning curve. Went to my granddaughters cheerleading compitetion the day after getting the camera in the mail and realized that I had a lot to learn about photography. But even at that, some of the pictures were just fantastic, with eye popping color, incredible detail, great lighting, etc. Just dont give up on it till you give it a chance, and I am sure that you will love this camera...

Customer Review:
Is a excellent item. make excellent photo and videos, i am really happy to bougt.

Customer Review:
This camera does it all. If you read the manual you will be able to take exceptional pictures! If you don't have the focus to sit down and read it (it's pretty hefty) read the basic manual or just start taking pictures. My wife has never taken a decent picture untill we got this camera. It's fool-proof! It literaly is a point and shoot camera. The "auto" takes great pictures. Use the TV AV Manual ect you can take AWESOME pictures. BUY IT! BUY IT! BUY IT! I reviewed ALOT of cameras for the price, even compared to other more expensive cameras. This is the one!!!

Combined with Mega O.I.S. Optical Image Stabilization, the DMC-FZ18 can detect even the tiniest camera movement to automatically adjust the lens to compensate any handshake. Intelligent ISO captures crisp, clear images as you shoot to suppress motion blur, making it easier to shoot scenes with fast moving action. The Face Detection function can automatically detect up to 15 faces in a scene and re-adjust the settings if their positions change. The Intelligent Scene Selector will sense the ambient conditions and automatically select either the Scenery, Portrait, Macro, Night Portrait or Night Scenery mode accordingly, getting beautiful results every time you shoot, no matter what the scene or subject.

Customer Review:
I have taken about 250 pictures with this now and owned it for almost a month. Most of the pictures came out well even the ones were I pointed the camera out the window while driving at 55, on a bright day. The 18X zoom gets you close to things even three hundred feet away.
The good, metal threads for tripod, high capacity (4GB and larger) SDHC cards, 18X zoom, very good anti shake, easy controls, very good results on full auto, very good burst mode (multiplr shots while holging down the shutter release), good results freezing action.
The cautions SDHC cards probably mean you have to buy a new card reader, propriatary USB connector, and battery mean you have to have a spare. Monopod or tripod for lowlight shots. 3MB per picture average so larger and faster memory cards required (4GB, SDHC, class 6 or larger not the cheap cards). The lens assembly is threaded but heavy filters are not a good idea but lighter filters will be fine.
I am just an old man with time and a camera and get good results with this camera. Has good range types of shots and handles settings well on auto. My picture taking philosophy is take a lot of pictures and hope to get a few keepers and this camera does that. Freezes action well with good clarity.

Customer Review:
The features on this Panasonic FZ18 are fantastic. It's my new walk around camera.
My only concern is Noise. Panasonic should address this issue.

Customer Review:
The camera was wonderful on our vacation. We took > 700 pix and it worked well in all situations (backlighting was sometimes a problem, but may be because of unfamiliarity with the camera). We had 2 spare batteries and only needed one on a day particularly heavy with pictures.
Zoom was better than my old SLR lenses for ease of use and light weight.No heavy camera bags and film bags! It also did reasonably well inside of relatively dark churches and much better than my SLR with film used to. We used the camera for sight-seeing, mountain vistas, sporting events and movie clips.

Customer Review:
I am impressed with this camera. It has all the features I need in a point and shoot and takes good photos with ease. The price is right.

Customer Review:
Very pleased with this camera after several weeks and several hundred pictures. The only reservation I have is the "system pause" after taking a picture. This small characteristic can be bothersome at times. Battery usage is low and with a 4-gig card you can shoot pics all day without having to transfer. Great camera which I would recommend to anyone, even for semi-pro use with the good selction of manual features.

Customer Review:
Whether you are an amateur or experienced photographer, the Canon Powershot A7201IS delivers great pictures without the bulk or expense of a digital SLR. Compact size and a range of automatic modes make it a handy "point and shoot" camera anyone can use with ease. Manual modes allow the more experienced photographer to control the aperture and shutter speed to manipulate lighting effects and depth of field -- just like with an old-fashioned SLR. Is that cool or what? Extra zoom (4X) and large LCD screen are icing on the cake. Very impressive little camera.

Customer Review:
First camera I got had a dead pixel on its LCD. Asked for a replacement. Amazon shipped it immediately, no questions asked. The replacement had one dead pixel on the LCD AND a dead pixel on its sensor array. Shows as a fixed red dot on the pictures. Ended up returning it for refund...

Customer Review:
It's a suitable camera, but can't zoom too far. Not recommended for travelers who love to take pictures.

Customer Review:
I was trying to decide between the Panasonic DMC-TZ3 and this camera. The Canon was slightly smaller, able to fit in front jeans pocket, and the image quality from other reviews was supposed to be slightly better. The TZ3 had the main benefit of 10X zoom, while Canon had 3.8x. Both had wide-angle 28mm and image stabilization, which is great. The Canon was more expensive, but the portability and potential image quality issue swayed me toward the Canon. I took the camera on a trip to Italy and Germany and was very pleased with the results. While not a full manual camera, there are a lot of adjustable controls such as ISO that can be set by the user. I used it with a Gorillapod tripod and the self-timer to take some great low-light photos at ISO 80. The 3" screen is absolutely gorgeous. This camera takes SDHC cards, and I was able to find an 8GB card for $30 at Frys, which is more than 2000 photos. I did buy an extra battery because the battery doesn't last nearly as long as claimed. In real world conditions, reviewing each photo takes up battery life so I probably got 100-150 shots per charge. Overall very pleased with this camera.

I needed a middle of the road camera with macro capability. After searching a lot and reading reviews, I settled on the Cannon SX100IS. It was a great choice. The camera is loaded with features that make it very versatile. The macro function works great and is easy to switch to with the main button on the back. No fumbling through menus. Pictures are crisp and clear. Haven't found a down side to this camera yet.

Customer Review:
I love this camera. I don't think I've used it to its potential since I haven't read the manual. I had the old canon powershot 3.2 for the past 5 years so it was easy to figure out how to use this one. The cnet review said the shutter speed is slow but I thought it was fast enough for basic photo taking. One of the best feature is when you are reviewing your photos you can pivet the camera and the image with change orientation automatically...amazing. My original canon is over 5 years old but takes great pics and still works but needed a higher resolution camera. This shows the quality of the canon product lasting 5 years without a hitch.

Bought the camera from this vendor. Was worried because I usually buy from amazon directly but was surprisely happy how quickly the package came in the mail. Good price for the camera and the nice coach camera case.

Customer Review:
The shutters lag on this camera is just undeliverable. It you want to shoot static object's it will work OK. But if you are trying to shoot your 2-year-old toddler, it is going to be very challenging.

I have had S100, S110, S230, SD550, and SD700 in the past. They all performed much better than SD950.

I would not recommend SD950!



Customer Review:
I've been a Canon fan for a number of years and rely upon my Canon 40d as my primary camera. The dslr provides me the range of photographic creativity I often seek however it is not convenient to carry 24/7. That said I found myself simply missing a lot of opportunities to capture those spontaneous moments of joy that we all experience in life. The Canon SD950IS was the solution for me. Great Canon quality coupled with a 12.1MP processor and stablized zoom not only yields a top quality output but best of all I can tuck this tiny feature rich camera in my pocket and have it available where ever I go. Some of my best pictures have been taken with this camera because I had the right equipment at the right time and captured a special moment that would have otherwise been just a memory.
