The only problem is that there is a metal carabiner supplied that is used to attach the strap, and this metal carabiner easily scratches the camera (in my experience) and so I've ended up removing the strap entirely.
A recommended purchase.


First off, this has a manual flash. A manual flash...in 2009? Why?
Second, this is bulkier to carry around than four SD600's, that's right, four of them!
Third, the LCD is set waaay too bright, even on the dimmest setting. Goodbye battery life...
...and fourth, since I'm on the batteries, it conveniently runs off 2 AA's but the flash recharge time (time between shots) is the slowest of any camera I've used in over 20 years - film or digital! While the flash is recharging, you can't even take other non-flash pictures. Sigh, why Canon, why?
As a result of the flash recharge and screen brightness defects I returned the camera after just one day. For what it's worth, the few pictures I took were reasonably clear but even with the image stabilization they were no better than those taken with my old SD600. Back to the drawing board for me. If you can live with it's shortcomings, the superzoom is nice, but I found the deficiencies too much to bear.



However on a recent trip to Florida, it just gave up and threw a lens error, and never came to life since then. I tried everything myself from removing the batteries to manually adjusting it etc., however it did not work at all. Now it is sitting dead and I guess I have to send it to Canon or take it to Best Buy for repair. It seems repairing them will be very costly. May be buying a new one will be cheaper.





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.
....I've owned the camera for almost a year now...I still miss being able to manual focus as I could with the a510. I was just out trying to take a picture of a spider's web. I couldn't focus on it with the a1000. With manual focus I would have been able set the focus on around 1 foot...Then an airliner went overhead. I tried taking a picture of that on 4x zoom and the camera would focus on it. If I had manual focus, I could have set it on infinity...Also, when it come to taking movies with this camera, I think that the a510 had a better microphone than the a1000.






I also love the wide angle lens. I can take a picture of a group of people in a living room without stepping way back! As far as I am conerned this is the best camera you can get without going to SLR.
The only thing I am bummed about is the size. It still is the same size(roughly) as the S1,S2,S3. I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too. How else can they pack a powerful lens in a small package. If you want a pocket point and shoot, this is not the one.

1. Small and portable with good grip (not too skinny)
2. Good zoom (3x or higher)
3. LCD and viewfinder
4. AA batteries
5. Inexpensive
6. Image stabilization
7. Good reviews from amazon
After considering other point and shoot cameras, my wife and I settled for the 590IS. It met all of our requirements and the pictures came out amazing. Almost all of the outside pictures had exceptional details. It made cropping and reducing picture size for sending out to friends and families very easy. One buddy (photographer) noted how well the Cannon took pictures inside the house....not too noisy (within 5 feet, further and you will need an external flash which is expensive). Another photographer buddy actually recommended this camera independently of my research. We are glad that we received this camera prior to the trip. We are truly delightful with the results. One note for those taking a lot of inside pictures. You will need an external flash unit (High-Power Flash HF-DC1 - about $100) to get good pictures beyond 5-7 feet. I will start trying the manual controls for some creative picture taking.
