Looking for a cheap compact camera that doesn’t sacrifice quality? Ted’s is selling the impressive Canon IXUS 1000HS, a 10MP compact with a 3-inch LCD, 10x optical zoom, Full HD video recording and a robust metal body for just $200, a saving of $100. In an added bonus, you can choose between silver or pink colours for the price. [Ted's]
I’m very fond of Canon’s IXUS line of compacts and definitely want to check out this 300 HS at some point, as it’s the first in the range with manual controls and their new HS system which handles low-light better. More »
Digital cameras are generally closed platforms, built and programmed under the assumption that they would never be modified. To get more features, you pay more for different firmware, even though the guts are mostly the same. Canon didn’t batten down their hatches quite enough. The result is CHDK, a full-featured OS substitute that runs from your memory card and unlocks the tremendous unrecognised potential of most Canon A-series and SD Elphs plus several others—for free.
