    I wonder why the silver one is $12.99 cheaper. I would get the silver one. Also, it says "ships for free" next to the silver one, when the black one doesn't boast of any such deal. Seems strange.

    i didn't get to look up the camera on canon's website. gotta study for now. but I know canon makes a quality product, and that looks like a nice camera. high MP for small price is a plus.

    i think silver is default so it is cheaper. i saw the black and though it only came in black so i didn't want that one . it looked silly. i was glad to see the all silver one.

    I really wanted to like this camera. I've been a fan and user of Canon's Digital Elph cameras since I got my first one (S110). Since then I've upgraded a couple of times, first to an S500 then to an SD450 and I was looking forward to the SD1000; more megapixels, higher ISO, the old retro look, and the new DIGIC III. At first, having received the camera, I was very pleased. The look and feel of the camera is great, the form factor is great, but reviewing some of the first actual shots out of the camera was very disappointing. They were all very grainy. None had the sharpness of the pictures from my old Digital Elph cameras, even the ones shot at ISO80. I proceeded taking more pictures trying all kind of different settings, not wanting to accept that Canon possibly had taken a step backwards with this newest version of the Elph camera, but at the end of the day, I had to admit it. This camera was not living up to my expectations, and I decided to return. It is possible, and I hope, that I got a bad lens or camera, but I am not so sure as I have seen other reviews on the Internet that describes my experience with the SD1000 model.



    From Amazon. You said a few posts ago that you took some piectures and it tok up 11 MB or something and then said "now that's quality." I know someone online who got a new camera recently and the pictures are huge, but they're all grainy. Hope yours isn't that way.

    all other reviews were good and some were saying about the size and also reading about it on other sites so i went with it.

    it's about half the price that i've spent on the other digital cameras i've ever purchased. ok not the first one. i bought that one on ebay for about 320+shipping, but it was used.
