Canon's A1000 IS is nothing special.

Canon's smallest A-series camera yet!

(4.00 out of 5) by aloofyouth on Oct 13, 2008

Pros: Cheap, take AA batteries, good feature set including Image Stabilization, optical viewfinder, semi-compact.

Background: I've used Canon compact cameras since 2003 and shot film cameras by Nikon and other bran ...
