Canon PowerShot SD1000 Digital ELPH (Silver)

Pros: light, fast power up, easy for beginners, extra settings for intermediates

Cons: no battery life indication until battery is almost drained.

Summary: I had the same problems in low light as mentioned in a few of the other reviews however, a little tinkering with the ISO and the night picture settings and I was getting pictures that were just as clear as in normal light. It's an exremely easy camera to use if you just want to point and click, but if you take the time select the right focus and light levels, you can get some incredible detail.
Keep in mind how little you are spending and how compact this camera is.
Note: Spare batteries are about 10% the cost on popular auction sites. Don't buy them in the store when you get your camera.
