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

This is my first digital camera and although I'm just learning it, I love it already!! I've taken some wonderful shots of people, flowers, cats and landscapes. I know that it has a lot of features that I've yet to discover but I've only owned it a couple of weeks. I would recommend this to anyone.

Camera shutter button came apart the fist time it was used. Been out for repair for over two weeks. Takes nice pictures though.

This is a solid camera. I got it for my grandfather who was making the transition from film to digital. I have an SD1000 which he thought was too small for him. This camera was a nice balance of function, zoom, and price. It has enough options to be useful to the more advanced user, but it doesn't bog the camera down with stuff you will never use.

Canon has replaced this model with a new one ~ minus the viewfinder. LCD screens are nice, but in bright sunlight you need a viewfinder. This camera allows for growth in the shooters skill level. From all the auto modes to manual. This was a birthday present and my daughter was thrilled!!

I bought this camera through Amazon - via TechNow - and I love it! It takes amazing photos and has all sorts of options that are easy to learn and use. If you are looking for a terrific little camera that you can take anywhere with you, and get great photos, indoors and out, this is the one to buy. And the option of the viewfinder is a great enhancement for sunny days when the monitor screen is hard to view through. And here is a tip - you can buy this camera right off the shelf at Target for $149.
