Canon SD1000

You may remember that I broke our little point and shoot Canon S400 while mountain biking with Eric a while back. Since then, Eric has let us borrow their S400 as he had upgraded to an SD900. Since then, I’ve been going back and forth as to which camera to buy to replace our camera so I could give Eric’s back. Some days I wanted something full featured with more manual control that we “pro” photographers desire. Other days, I wanted something small and truly pocketable. Ultimately, I decided this was going to be Bonnie’s camera and her priority was pocketable so I ended up getting the Canon SD1000. It has the cool image stablization and face detection features that are pretty common these days and comes in a tidy little package. It actually looks a little retro compared to the more curvy designs that came out previously but I actually like the more simple aesthetics. Works great! More than enough resolution and everything works as expected. I’ll be sure not to break this one as the old S400 will now be my “extreme” camera. True, the screen is broken, but it still works.
