The Canon PowerShot SD1000 digital camera is one awesome little camera and really packs a punch for the price point. At sub $250 it’s a steal and it has 7.1MP to boot. My favorite feature of this little gem is the Widescreen mode for stills. It’s really cool they added that to a sub-compact camera and it takes amazing pictures. I mostly shoot in manual mode with the flash off but the flash does a good job for the times you do need one.

We previously used the SD400 version that Canon produced a couple years ago and were very happy with it’s video capability so when we got the SD1000 it didn’t disappoint either: Movie Clips @ 640 x 480 @ 30/15 fps, 320 x 240 @ 60/30/15 fps, 160 x 120 @ 15 fps.

It also supports continuous mode at 1.7fps which isn’t to shabby for a camera in this class. Hands down a steal under $250 and I strongly recommended this beauty.

Cheers! Matthew
