A review by Steves Digicams discussed aspects of the Canon Powershot A1000 IS camera where they write, "The A1000 IS features a 4X (35-140mm in the 35mm format) f/2.7-5.6 all-glass aspherical zoom lens. When the camera is powered down the lens is retracted inside of the body and a built in cover closes to completely protect the glass of the lens.

The Powershot A1000 IS features a large 2.5-inch LCD with 115,000 pixels of resolution. It is used for framing shots, reviewing stored images as well as menu operations. If you do not want to use the LCD screen, there is also a real-image zoom viewfinder, which allows you to see what is shown by the zoom lens.

Bottom Line - Canon's new Powershot A1000IS is a stylish, versatile and easy to use 10-Megapixel camera. With automatic shooting modes, pre-set scene modes and Optical Image Stabilization, this camera is easy enough for anyone to pick up and start shooting. Performance and image quality are also good for an entry level model. With all things considered and a MSRP of US$199.99, this is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an entry level digicam. "
