Comments about Canon Powershot A1000 IS Brown Digital Camera:

Suddenly needed to fix or replace my Canon Power Shot A75. Cost to fix is not worth it. About the same price to buy the latest technology. This new camera arrived promptly in excellent condition. I also ordered the enhanced package from Abe's that included a 4GB memory card, a carrying case, and rechargeable batteries--most of this is more of a necessity than an option, and well worth the extra price.

Camera worked as soon as I took it out of the carton and added batteries and memory card. Took a couple of practice shots, and then took the camera on a cruise to Bermuda. Lots of hard lighting conditions on the water and sand, but the pictures came out great.

The length of the user guide is a bit daunting, but most of the guide is for a specialist. I found about 20 pages was all I had to read to take good pictures.

I have not experienced any of the problems others have mentioned. The batteries are still working after 100 pictures. Re-charge time after a flash hasn't been a problem either.

This is a great replacement for my A75 with much greater resolution. Great product. Very good price from Abe's.

Comments about Canon Powershot A1000 IS Brown Digital Camera:

This is nice camera considering the price tag. You would get nice pictures most of the times. Though the picture quality is not so great in low lighting conditions. Also, the flash takes a little more time to recharge then you would like.

Comments about Canon Powershot A1000 IS Brown Digital Camera:

This camera is amazing! I took it on vacation with me, to my prom, to an amusement park, graduation... and it produced great photos every time. The camera is great for the casual photographer, or for any parent wanting to take family photos. It's controls are easy to get used to, it's affordable, and it's reliable, too. While the load time after each picture isn't as fast as you might like, it's still a wonderful camera.[...]This camera is a must-have for anyone looking to buy a cheap digital point and shoot camera that takes excellent pictures.If I could give it a 4.8 on the star rating I would, but it isn't an option! It's not quite a five, but deserves more than a 4!
