Comments about Canon Canon PowerShot SD1000 Digital Camera - Choose Color:

About 6 months ago I bought a Canon SD1000 for my wife. She keeps complaining that it "doesn't work well". So I finally got a chance to try it out this weekend and, turns out she's right.
Before buying this one, I read a lot of reviews and the SD1000 had a lot of positive reviews. But, in the real world, while the video feature is excellent, shooting with the flash is nearly impossible (even in good ambient light), unless your subject is dead, because there is usually a delay of 2-3 seconds between the shutter press & the flash firing. I then switched to manual, ISO 1600, turned off all the bells & whistles and was able to shoot. Unfortunately, the shots are so grainy at 1600 that no amount of post processing will help.
