Canon Powershot A1000IS 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Grey): Customer Reviews & Product Details

I bought this for my daughter when she was expecting her first child. She wanted a good camera before the baby came. She liked my camera, a Canon PowerShot A750, and wanted one like it. Well the price for the 750 had gone way up. I found this one, on Amazon, and emailed her the link. She said it was just what she wanted. She is very happy with the camera. It is easy to use, has just enough settings that she can "get her feet wet" before she buys a more complicated one. She was looking at an SLR but we felt that it would be too much for a beginner. She has taken some good pictures with the camera so far and has it at the hospital now as I write this. (Baby boy, 7lbs. 12 oz. and she says she has gotten some nice pictures of him.) Sorry this isn't a real technical review but I'm not a real technical person. We both love our Canon cameras and would recommend them to everyone.

The camera is super fantastic. It is easy to operate after spending some time with the manual. It takes awsome pictures. The camera is light weight and convenient to carry in your pocket. A great price.

Still new to me, but a whole lot better, smaller, lighter and cheaper than what I finally left behind.

I love this camera but access to the batteries is tricky and it feels a bit delicate like I might break it.

Returned the Canon Powershot A10000 IS for a Canon Powersot SD1200 IS. The Canon Powersot SD1200 IS considerably better for not much more money. If you want cheap plastic casing go w/the A1000.
