But, for the quality of the pictures and the ease of changing settings for special conditions, this camera makes up for the battery shortcoming, especially for the price.


Would I buy another - No. Would I recommend it to anyone else - No

Update: When I bought this camera, the price was just over $100. I do not recommend paying much more than that for it.

I bought this camera direct from Japan a few months ago when its introduction to the US market was delayed, and have not regretted the purchase. (Once I was able to find the menu setting to display in English rather than Kanji...)
Elph sized, this recording device can do any sort of capture you desire to best preserve those special (and mundane) moments. It's not too big (like most Hi-def camcorders). It's not too small (so if you want a spy camera, look elsewhere). Its size is just right - fits in my pocket, my wife's purse, and surreptitiously in one hand when I want to sneak some video I shouldn't be taking.
Functionally, it will record images and videos in every resolution any prosumer could need. For video, you can capture all frame sizes and rates - from full HD (1280, 720p, 30fps) down to 640x480 15fps, both 16:9 and 4:3 ratios. For images, it does everything any other good digital camera does, from 10X *optical* zoom to macro, image stabilization, and "quick settings" for portraits, night shots, even "aquarium lighting." (The 10X optical zoom is awesome, btw - I've never found this on any but the pro/commercial end cameras.) The 7.1Megapixels are plenty for most digital imaging tasks, supporting 8x10 prints indistinguishable from any other higher res images.
I've edited the HD video, and it is very easy to work with - much more so than H.264 video. This is due to the fact that Canon uses motion JPEG compression, which allows each frame to stand on its own (kind of like snapping 30 images per second of 1080x720 pictures - not only can you edit down to the frame level easily, but you can extract a frame as a still image with all quality intact - handy when you want to make a nice picture from some video you've shot).
It is true that for any specific function this camera performs, you can find another gadget out there that does the same function better. But nowhere have I seen one device that handles *all* recording functions (video/image and sound) to the excellent degree that this camera does - you aren't compromising on function here to get the convenience of portability.
The primary advantage of this camera is the fact that it truly does it all. No more do I need to decide in advance whether or not I will want to shoot video on an outing (then deciding wrong and later trying desparately to capture that special live action moment on my 640x480 15fps camera, or worse yet my cell phone!). No matter what moment presents itself, I can capture it in the way best suited to the action. Always. By simply reaching into my pocket.
Wait till you see the HD video of these three angry bears running after me...and no bulky equipment to slow my escape!

I have taken many photos since I received this camera, including many zoomed-in photos. I couldn't believe how clear they turned out!
The only thing I don't like about this camera is that I find it difficult to open the batter/memory card compartment. On my last Canon, the compartment slid open easily. This one opens the same way, however I have to pry and pry to get it to pop fully open.
Overall I would recommend this product.

When we purchased this camera, we didn't know it also shoots videos! So, I do recommend getting a very large memory card for it. Fortunately we got the 4gb memory card (Sandisk brand--cost us about $10). 500 pictures and 10 videos of varying length later and she has yet to use up the 4gb!
I highly recommend this camera to anyone who desires a great digital camera for an excellent price!

Bad camera, i dont recomend it.
I cant RMA it because i live on Venezuela and i use a courier to buy it, if i want send it back to amazon is going to cost me the same price that i pay for the product.
Sorry for my english.

I know both cameras and their functions. I find myself having to manipulate and resize nearly every photo on the A1000 once I download it on the computer - and that's on the lowest quality setting. The red eye is much more prevalent on the A1000 than the A40 and low light is a problem with or without the flash. The A40 was always reliable.
The A40 has 4 shooting modes plus video. The A1000 has eight plus video. In this situation, less is more. The A1000 is a nice camera but it's a simple case of how much do you really need?
Like so many things today, we have too many choices.

Fortunately, what I've seen so far is that the high quality of zoom shots is setting a brand new standard with this new camera from Canon. Earlier "super-zoom" models, or those with zooms in excess of 10x or 12x, suffered from image quality problems as long zooms strained the limits of the tiny processors needed to capture light and reduce the effects of vibration. All these negative effects increase exponentially with each increase in zoom power. It used to be that only the large lenses and higher sensitivity power of expensive SLR's solved this problem.
Processor sensitivity has finally caught up with the portable 20x optical zoom. Finally 100mm zoom power, without SLR expense and weight.



Also, fast delivery from Amazon.

I've used the camera for a vacation and a couple of hiking trips and have been very pleased with the results. I especially like that it uses AA batteries and have found that using rechargeable batteries work great and save money. I purchased extra memory and find it easy to switch it out.

For someone who needs a basic camera that "just works", this is it. If you need anything more than the basics, you'll need to look elsewhere.








All that said, the feature range is stunning, the photo quality is sometimes amazing, and it's a pretty darned good camera.
