i have a canon s110 digital elph. my dad gave it to me- he took many pictures of my family and me in my childhood. he sobbed when giving it to me- i will take good care of it with everything i have. it works beautifully- i hope it continues serving my family for many more years to come.
Bought this sucker for a dollar at a yard sale, I love it lol...been using this thing for months, the macro mode is awesome It even came with the strap and official leather carrying case
If you want the same aesthetics and ergonomics, check out the ELPH 520 HS/IXUS 500 HS. It's a better camera all around. They are nearly identical dimensions but the 520 is 20g lighter. The 520 has a much better quality and slightly larger BSI CMOS sensor, Digic 5 processor, image stabilization, much more useful 12x (28mm-336mm) focal range, shoots 1080 24p video, 240fps slow motion, 3200 max ISO, 1/4000s shutter and a way nicer screen. You can usually find them less than the SD1000 too. I have the red one, it's awesome IMO.
Regarding the SD card reader, I have a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi, and I just plug the camera directly into my phone with a USB-A to USB-C adapter. It works great!
They’re really good cameras. If you can be bothered with the hassle, you can add CHDK firmware and shoot raw photos, and have the camera do motion detection. I bought a second one and take 3D photos with this setup. Video capability is primitive in case that is something you care about.
Oh my goodness, I bought that camera brand new back in 2007 or 2008 when it first came out, and I still have it! I'm fairly certain it still works, and now I'm super excited to charge the bettery and start using it again! Yes- I loved how small it was... even the battery charger is small like... a nightlight! 😂 And dude, if you hadn't said a thing about being in your bsmt, I never would have KNOWN!!! Keep up with the videos 👍
I also have a purchased-as-new SD1000 and I absolutely love it. Never stopped using it. I sometimes get teased for still using such a device these days and not "joining modern civilization" for taking pictures with a cell phone, other than my cell is a Light Phone 2 . . . which doesn't have a camera. The other part of this story is I bought an iMac new in 2007, within months of getting the SD1000. It's no longer my primary computer, but I rebuilt it myself a few years ago with much more RAM (no soldered-in memory chips back then) and a solid state hard drive (which Apple wouldn't authorize their repair people to install.) I don't run this computer online, since nobody makes a browser for Mac OS of that period that is secure, but I use it with a vintage copy of the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop and Illustrator, back when you could buy this software outright and not have to rent it by the month.) I use dongles for SD cards and USB thumb drives, like show in this video, to move printable files to my "modern" laptop to print or share my images online.
I had a number of digital cameras prior to the smartphone explosion in the early 2000s. I got rid of all of them in favor of using a smartphone for most of my photography. Now I'm browsing TH-cam and it's come to my attention that old school digital cameras are coming back in popularity - and the prices are going up! I haven't been able to find a good working digital camera in any thrift shops near me for a while now. I guess it's true that everything eventually comes back in popularity.
A friend who was born around 2000 told me that these digicams take photos that look like a memory for them. I think that says it all - the iPhone makes a good image, but for twentysomethings who are tired of using their phone and want some nostalgic vibes, these digicams are perfect. I love using them and I am NOT in my twenties. Haha. Solid video!
Good video! I currently shoot with a Canon S100 and am looking for a bit older, simpler camera to compliment it. Seems that the SD1000 is great. I'm also seeing the SD800 as an awesome alternative to it. With the 1000 and 800 being damn near equal, the 800 has a wider focal length at 28mm (35mm equiv) compared to the 1000's 35mm and it also has Image Stabilization. The only drawback to the SD800 would be the slightly larger physical size and slightly less resolution on the screen. All in all, both look like fun cameras. Seems there are a ton of options from that era from Canon. Thanks.
You have not discovered the SD100 until you run CHDK on it. I have ithe SD1000 and with CHDK you can shoot in raw with it and it made a huge diffrence with how I can edit the raw files with it. The original jpegs from it are highly compressed and very little room to edit them.
@@michaelbell75 i am also using the CHDK hack and its amazing! you get a hq-contax 2000 film look, that you don't achieve with the outofcam-jpgs... i think most people dont get the hack run because its a bit tricky and argue like you :) it's about control not about to loose the "digicam look"
OMG - you said nothing about how to charge it! I think you need a separate charger for the battery - I found my old one and am trying to figure it out!
People are realizing grain, noise, moire, etc. is actually art. The most expensive images on the planet are 90% moment & composition, and 10% IQ. Modern day photographers seem to be on the opposite spectrum, 90% IQ and 10% moment & composition. What makes thing's worse imo. It's living in the US. The buildings today in America are ugly as hell. They're all essentially just boxes or jails if we're being honest.
I picked up one a long time back. I have the box and stuff but have no idea where in the house it is. I really want to find it. I was buying a variety of ELPH cameras for $10 to a max of $25 for a few years just because they were cute and I liked them. I have serious gear, but even in my film days, I enjoyed playing around with toy and simple cameras just for fun.
@@Zestypanda Yes, they are. Im on eBay daily seeing them. The MSRP on these when they were released in 2007 was $299. You will see scuffed and beat up SD1000s with no battery or charger going over $100 and beat up looking ones with batteries and chargers nearing $200. Thats expensive for a 17 year old camera that was selling for under $50 a year ago. I lucked out this morning and bought one within an hour of it being listed, it's an open box with everything still in original plastic in the box for $149.
Sigh. Now it will take 2-3 years for the prices to come back down after this fad. I use to see these cameras super cheap on ebay...now...not so much. First it was retro games, now retro point and shoots? How much of my 2000s young adult old tech much become inaccessible to me? Please don't make CDs popular Gen Z, me and my mom still uses them often 😭😭
Most quality cameras around 2005 are useable and will take great pics. This camera was expensive new and was very much a designer camera for people who enjoy looking good in all aspects. It came out just after the Contax TVS digital and was aimed at the same market. 7.1 is way beyond most people's MP needs. It has a quality lens, which is more important. The $50 SD100 is long gone. People are buying and using them as a fashion statement and you can't put a price on that.

Found it in my moms drawer, gonna be taking it with me on my japan trip this year. Cant wait to take some nostalgic looking pictures
enjoyed watching it but there weren’t any sample pictures🥲
The worst type of review...
i have a canon s110 digital elph. my dad gave it to me- he took many pictures of my family and me in my childhood. he sobbed when giving it to me- i will take good care of it with everything i have. it works beautifully- i hope it continues serving my family for many more years to come.

It even came with the strap and official leather carrying case
damn thats cheap isnt it but idk I dont live in america
@@Frixthecorporal yes, that's incredibly cheap. For us here, that's about the price of a coca cola
I had to pay $3. Worth it tho.

It's also marketed as IXUS70 which I have and it's just so cool to have it. Purchased it in a heartbeat in 2011 and still looks fancy to this day.
Loved your straightforward honest review. Great job!

Just found this yesterday at a flee market for 5 bucks with sd card and battery but no charger luckily it’s the same as my sd630
A friend who was born around 2000 told me that these digicams take photos that look like a memory for them. I think that says it all - the iPhone makes a good image, but for twentysomethings who are tired of using their phone and want some nostalgic vibes, these digicams are perfect.

My first camera ❤
I run mine with a 32gb Kodak sd card no problem I know some old Digi cams won’t accept

99% of people arent buying 17 year old point and shoot digicams to shoot amazing photos in RAW lol. They want that early to mid 00s digicam look.

I used to daily this camera - and man I wish I remember what happened to it!
has anyone told you that you sound exactly like Patrick Tomasso?
also, i am buying this camera. love it. thanks for the video!
In summer 2024 What is a reasonable price to pay for this cute little camera?
wow great sample pictures, definitely buying one
if you’re loving it stock, try getting an sd card with chdk on it.
Novice here: I'm looking at an SD1000 and an Elph 360 for pretty much the same price and good condition. Which should I get?
Just bought one! So excited!
Where’d you get it from?
I've put in a 32GB memory card. I like seeing 9999 pictures left in corner.
OMG - you said nothing about how to charge it! I think you need a separate charger for the battery - I found my old one and am trying to figure it out!

Please include sample photos in a video about a photo camera :/
Most TH-camrs are not photographers, they are just influencers.
I have a Cannon SD780 IS, and your videos have inspired me to use it more. bought it brand new way back lol. Thanks
try 450 or 500d plus cheap yongnuo 50mm or orginal light old canon 50mil II
its also fun even after 8pm

hey any chance you have one of these laying around you don’t mind selling to me?
I have to dig them out at some point. Too many projects at the moment. Not an unusual state. So nothing to sell currently. Thanks for asking though.
@@WolfQuantum thanks for your reply
Love the optical viewfinder on these, though I am so blind that I probably couldn't see through the damn thing.
would u recommend this camera or the nikon coolpix S210?
Put it on the shelf.
whats the highest sd card i can run? id like to take small videos from time to time without nuking the card
great video! you wouldnt happen to be from BC would you?
Thanks
I just ordered a canon sd 1000. I wanna get extra batteries, what type of batteries do you recommend? 2:44
Why make a video without sample photos? Dude!
My 128gb card works just fine in this camera….just don’t format it!
No pictures 😢
I have samsung dv100 its fun cz it have front lcd, using microsd and micro usb, the pictures very sharpen 😂
I have a canon sd750
Nice. Same camera without the VF but you get a 3 inch screen rather than the 2.5 inch. They just relocated the photo/scn/video button to the top
Unfortunately now the prices on Ebay are just 🤮
They’re not expensive

Skip the dongle, get a wifi sd card.
Your characterization of "the film look" as grainy, dark and inferior is incredibly ignorant.
And your comment is incredibly smug and condescending and tight-assed.

Anyone got an amazon link for the right SD card?
