Canon PowerShot A1000 IS Pro Reviews

The Imaging Resource‘s review Edit

From optical quality to sensor performance, the Canon A1000 has the goods where it's most important. Its optics are of good quality, delivering sharp images across the frame. There is some chromatic aberration, but it doesn't show up in prints until you enlarge quite a bit, so that's little worry. ISO performance is quite good for the Canon A1000's size, delivering usable 8x10-inch prints even at ISO 800, and image stabilization works well enough indoors that even for non-flash shots you'll seldom need to go above ISO 400 so long as you and your subjects hold still

Steve's Digicams‘s review Edit

Canon's new Powershot A1000IS is a stylish, versatile and easy to use 10-Megapixel camera. With automatic shooting modes, pre-set scene modes and Optical Image Stabilization, this camera is easy enough for anyone to pick up and start shooting. Performance and image quality are also good for an entry level model. With all things considered and a MSRP of US$199.99, this is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an entry level digicam.

PhotographyBLOG‘s review Edit

At first glance the new Canon Powershot A1000 IS looks identical to its bigger brother, the A2000. I reviewed both cameras at the same time and actually preferred the slightly cheaper A1000 model in many ways. Although offering a smaller 2.5 LCD screen and shorter 4x zoom lens, the A1000 is noticeably smaller and lighter, has a true optical viewfinder, and benefits from having a curved hand-grip area. Whilst the A2000 will fit into a trouser pocket or handbag, the A1000 easily fits, which means that you're more likely to carry it around with you.

PC Magazine‘s review Edit

Canon's PowerShot A1000 IS excels at the basics - dead-simple "Easy Mode" shooting, sharp images, and speedy performance - all at a very palatable price.

The entry-level Canon PowerShot A1000 IS is low-cost without being lousy.
