My Daily Driver: Canon PowerShot SD1000 Review

[@lancearp7389]

I am a firefighter and I have carried this camera in my gear for over 15 years. Great battery life, works perfectly every time. Has seen every temperature extreme and works flawlessly in every condition.

Wonderful! Thanks for your service :-)

Hello! Really appreciated this review combined with your calm demeanor and positive attitude. If you ever decide to sell the SD1000, please let me know! Thank you.

Your entire collection of retro tech is so cool

[@MarinaGarrison]

Glad to have found your channel ❤ retro tech (typewriters, film/digi cams, fountain pens, vinyl).

[@shedactivist]

Good to see you again, with promise of even more varied cool stuff

I just stumbled onto your video. Thank you for making it and it's very timely. Last week I was rummaging around some storage and "rediscovered" 2 small p/s Canon cameras and 1 small Panasonic model. The Canon's are a sd1100is and a sd980is. The Panasonic is a dmc lz-8. I've actually got a decent 11x14 print from when we went on a cruise in 2009.

Nice review on the SD1000! Don't know if you are aware but you can load CHDK ( It's like Magic Lantern for Canon point and shoots) on these Canon point and shoots and it gives them additional features including shooting in RAW, I have the SD1000 and loaded CHDK. The RAW files give me much more latidude and ability to edit. ALso since you have jumped on the Point and shoot Bandwagon you should try out the Canon Powershot G Series. I have the G11 and LOVE it. I have the SD1000 but it doesn't come closse to my Powershot G11. The G11 colors look much beter and the lens is so much better.

Amazing! I will try them. I believe I have the PowerShot G as well. Thanks 🙂

hey I like the painting with the white flowers at the beginning

A mid-2000s PowerShot like yours in good light is a great example of the way CCD sensors have less (super annoying) digital noise than the CMOS which replaced them. DSLR cameras with CCD sensors from that timeframe are even better! If you pair one with a high quality lens and keep to ISO100, the results are really quite film-like. Try a Pentax K100 or something like that with your prized, manual Pentax k-mount prime lenses. It may not be film, but it sure comes close. Happy snapping!

[@vintagetechmall]

Awesome. Will look into that for sure. Cheers!

Hi Ben, great to see you back and like the new channel name. Picked up a boxed Canon Powershot SX100 IS last summer for 10GBP. Amazed by it and it is my daily carry now for the reasons you state. Bit chunkier than the SD but a crazy zoom (36-360mm), IS and full PASM control. Agree with your frustrations over the different batteries. Don't even get me started on the differences in USB port sizes!

[@vintagetechmall]

Lol. Happy for you too 😃

[@NeubauerMM]

Nice to see you and your inner peace. I feel the same at the moment and it feels sooooo good. I also use Film and digital side by side with no anger or fear

[@vintagetechmall]

Amen to that 👏🏾

[@Incdvideo]

Like Your video and review . I am a fellow Canadian .

If you are looking for the "film look" I recommend the Fujifilm AX350 and the AX655. They have the film simulation "chrome". Also the Samsung ST76 has the "retro style smart filter" it produces a 1960's and 1970's color film vibe and not the DigiCam aesthetic.

Just found my old elph when I was a kid SD 1000 and I saw it still have

[@eyaldrorpainting24]

Beautiful photos,you have dust on the sensor ,you can clean in the photos or leave it,still look fantastic

[@JHMProduction]

Plus if use digital cameras you save battery on cell phone

[@caroljeanscott5571]

I have a canon 190 is and that's what I use to take my photos. In my opinion the pictures are better those taken with a smart phone.

[@karimlahlou132]

Thanks very interesting vidéo mate send you my best reggads from Paris France.... Would like to have one device liké this

[@joecalabresi4072]

What should I offer to pay for a little camera like the sd1000?

[@JHMProduction]

I use sd1100is been using it for years it’s pretty much the same camera

[@SamuelJamesVideos]

Hey Ben, I hope you're well. What are you editing your videos on? I'm a professional video editor and I use Davinci resolve mainly and I was just curious. Great work man and I look forward to seeing more of your content. Cheers from New Jersey

[@vintagetechmall]

Thanks so much for the support. I do edit my videos on premiere pro cs6 (old version, i know 🙂). Some of the graphic elements were created on canva.com.

[@alondusk33]

Wow great pics. Just goes to show it’s the photographer and not the camera
