 Excellent Camera October 18, 2008

This camera takes excellent pictures. I particularly like the Optical Image Stabalization, Motion sensor, and face recognition. I only make 4 X 6 prints. So far no problems. The pet/children mode does a good job of stopping action.
I've used the optical viewfinder a couple of times. It doesn't show 100% of the picture, but it sure makes a difference in extreme sunlight.
Sometimes it is necessary indoors to increase the ISO in order to increase the flash distance (easily done with a button). I still get great pictures. I know some reviewers blow the pictures up and indicate the noise in the picture. It's just not evident in normal picture prints. I'm sure there would be obvious noise if I was using high ISOs. Battery life is great also. I use Lithium AAs. They last so long there is no need to use recharageable batteries.
The only thing I definately miss is a button to delete "ALL" pictures. There's a button for individual deleting, but you have to use the menu to detete all. I guess you could look at it as a safety feature, making it hard to accidentially delete all your pictures.
There is a lack of manaul controls, but I never used the manual controls in my prior cameras.
The camera size will fit into a pocket, even though I prefer using a case that fits on my belt. I would highly recommend this camera to others.
 It's An Excellent Camera, but... October 17, 2008

This is an excellent camera for the price, but I was a little disappointed about one thing and pleasantly surprised about another thing.
I was disappointed that I couldn't manually focus as I could do with the Canon a510 that I purchased 3 1/2 years ago. This is especially helpful in low light situations. It's also nice to be able to check whether or not the auto-focus has focused properly...You can set the A1000 to "macro", "normal" and "infinity", but from there you have to hope that the auto-focus worked properly.
I was pleasantly surprised that the aperture automatically adjusted to the changing light conditions in the movie mode. You can also lighten or darken the light reading in the movie mode, but if you do this, the aperture won't adjust to changing light conditions as you make a video.
The camera is small enough to fit in a small case or pocket or pocketbook.
Great Camera October 12, 2008

I bought a canon powershot for each of my three daughters last year. The price was great and the pictures were excellent. This year I bought one for my wife as well, an updated model A100IS. It raised the clarity from 8 MP to 10 MP but operates similarly to the previous model. My wife used it straight from the box without referencing the directions. I can't say enough about ease of use and the great pictures it takes. I recommend it highly.
 Disappointed - had to return it October 29, 2008

I did some research and thought this would be a nice - easy to use camera for the price. I was most interested in the "easy" mode for my wife - which supposedly makes picture taking "worry free" where the camera selects the "optimal" settings automatically. So I'm in my halloween costume and my wife wants take a picture. She shoots from a few feet away inside a fairly well lit room - the camera flashes - should be fine. It comes out very dark. She tries again from the same spot - still very dark. I try taking a picture of her in the same place - too dark. I turn off the autoflash and try again - picture comes out fine with no flash. I wanted a camera that would take a nice picture without someone having to decide whether or not to turn the flash on or off. I believe the problem is that the camera is defective and the flash is not in sync with the shutter. When it thinks it's using the flash, it probably automatically sets the shutter speed for the brightness of the flash. If the shutter clicks when it's not flashing, the shutter speed is too fast for the light conditions (thus - the pictures being too dark). We tried taking a number of pictures around the house in either "Auto" or "Easy" modes with autoflash on and got about 90% too dark and even a few that were so bright they were completely washed out (again - probably poor flash timing or shutter speed not matching the flash). Anyway, bummer. Only had had the camera a couple days, so I sent it back to Amazon for a refund. Now I'm trying to figure out what to buy next. I know that Canon is a popular brand and must be doing something right, but after this experience, might try another brand.
Very nice compact camera September 20, 2008

I have owned another Canon powershot. I researched other cameras but Canon has nice point and shoot cameras. Screen is nice size and pictures come out very clear and crisp. I was able to use it right out of the box. If you cannot afford the SLR cameras, this is a nice one for anyone.
