We like:
Viewfinder; simple operation; low price
We don't like:
Limited shooting controls; mixed performance
CNET UK judgement:
For the money Canon is asking, the A1000 IS has very good photo quality. Colour, contrast and white balance are particularly striking and although it's fairly slow, its design is well thought-out and even a novice will find its manual controls easy to use. All in all, very good value for money

It's available now for around £125. Continue Reading...
