Canon has created a very successful line of compact cameras and the Canon SD1000 continues to impress. The SD1000 is the next step up from the previous Canon SD600. While the layout and controls remain simliar, there have been a few other changes including an upgrade to 7.1 megapixels. The SD1000 is a very compact, credit card sized camera. It features a mostly silver exterior with a few black accents. An all black model is available under the model number SD1000K. A review of the Canon SD1000 proves to uphold the Canon ELPH reputation. For its price range, sub $200, it may be one of the best in its class.

Canon continues to dedicate this ELPH line for the amateur photographer that isn’t interested in all the extra features in options like manual exposure control which was left out. The technology that operates the SD1000 is the biggest difference from the SD600. With improved performance, the shutter speed and operating times have greatly improved. For under $200 at major retailers like Circuit City, the Canon SD1000 is one of the best compact cameras in its class.
