The Canon Powershot A1000 IS is a cut above more basic digital cameras. Key features include image stabilisation and a viewfinder. It is getting harder to find digital cameras with viewfinders, so this helps to set the Powershot A1000 IS apart from other cameras.
In terms of key features this camera has 10 megapixels and a 4x optical zoom lens. The lens is slightly longer than standard.
The design of the camera has created a camera body that comes in two shades. It is available in four different colours: grey, blue, brown and purple.
A control dial on the top of the camera can speed up changing the main settings. The dial is used for selecting the camera mode (Program, fully automatic, easy mode, portrait, landscape, night snapshot, kids and pets, indoors, extra scene modes and movie mode.)
Although compact in size it is too large to fit most pockets. There is a grip on the front to help you hold the Powershot A1000 IS steady.
