I have owned five digital cameras in six years. They were all good cameras made by well known companies. However, they all fell short of all the features I wanted. The A1000 does it all!
I am a serious amateur photographer and am old enough to remember having to manually set my f stops and shutter speed. NO MORE! Canon has even built-in parellax correction when using the viewfinder.
I knew I was getting a good camera for the price. What I didn’t expect was the extreme ease of use and the phenomenal sharpness of the pics.
This camera rocks! Outstanding pictures and great features for the money!
In addition to high resolution pics, this camera has a stabilizer, which is useful for low light pics that require prolonged exposure. The A1000 also has an optical viewfinder, which is a must for shooting that is even a little backlighty. The A1000 also has lots of other bells and whistles, such as facial recognition-focus and special macro settings for night shots, etc.
For SGD 299/- I got a 4 GB SD Card+ Camera Case+ AA Battery Charger from BEST Singapore
