I just got myself a PowerShot A1000 IS camera from Canon.  It’s a nice point-and-shoot camera with a good price and quality.  For $150 dollars, you are paying for a 10 mega-pixel camera with a DIGIC III (used in SLR’s) chip.  What I like about it, is that it uses non-proprietary AA Batteries.  I always have problems with rechargeable batteries and the cold while snowboarding.  I’ll be using this camera for snowboarding next weekend, while I get my Olympus Stylus 1030SW repaired.  So stay tuned for these pics   I can’t wait to test this baby.

Other features that I liked include: Auto-rotate preview, Image Stabilizer, Face Detection, 30 fps video, and ... you’ll have to see for yourself.
