Why are digicams so popular? I'm obsessed with this tiny 2007 point and shoot. Meet the Canon SD1000 (aka the IXUS 70). In this video, I’ll show you why I can’t seem to put it down.
This little camera is pure nostalgia with its classic CCD sensor, retro vibes, and a design so small it fits in a box of playing cards. It’s perfect for street photography, parties, or just ditching your phone for a bit and actually living in the moment.
Here’s what I’ll cover:
- The clean, 2000s minimal design
- That iconic flash for Project X party shots
- CHDK hacks for hidden gems like Tetris (yes, really) and for RAW shooting
- Surprisingly solid battery life (and tips to make charging easier)
- Why it’s getting pricey these days—and what to consider before buying instead
