Canon PowerShot E1 Reviews

DCR reviews the Canon PowerShot E1 and writes;
“Tthe camera performs admirably at its lowest ISO settings. Even ISO 200 is relatively clean, though some pixel-level details begin to lose their edge, and solid patches can get extremely noisy.”

ITReviews reviews the Canon PowerShot E1 and writes;
“The Canon PowerShot E1 is lovely point and click camera. Image quality could be a little better but for the price you can bag yourself a great looking, easy to control compact. The design is superb: it’s sturdy yet lightweight enough without feeling cheap.”

PhotographyBlog reviews the Canon PowerShot E1 and writes;
“The E1 may look stylish in product shots, but in real life it looks and feels like some cheap toy – and while it is certainly not an expensive camera, it is not THAT cheap either. Nevertheless, it could still make a good first camera for a child, although concerns remain as to its ‘life expectancy’ in careless hands.”

Steve’sDigicams reviews the Canon PowerShot E1 and writes;
“The quality of our indoor image samples are also very good. The white balance does a good job of keeping the same color tones with and without the flash. The flash sample is just slightly cooler than the shots without it…Performance and quality are very good for an entry-level camera, making the MSRP of US$199.99 a very good deal.”

PocketLint reviews the Canon PowerShot E1 and writes;
“Colours are good and rich, perhaps a touch warm, but nothing to complain about. Shadows do sometimes show a little noise… So it all sounds really good. Well yes, it is a very competent little camera. Canon have been criticised in the past for not being good value for money, but the E1 bucks that trend.”

PhotoReview reviews the Canon PowerShot E1 and writes;
“Pictures taken with the test camera were brighter and more colourful and ‘punchy’ that they appeared on the camera’s LCD..Test shots taken out-of-doors had slightly elevated contrast and saturation and blown-out highlights were quite common. Shadowed areas also tended to block up in sunny conditions”

GoodGearGuide reviews the Canon PowerShot E1 and writes;
“The Canon PowerShot E1 is an impressive entry-level compact camera aimed primarily at kids and skint teens. It offers a nice array of features for the asking price and takes adequate photos to boot. All in all, a solid offering.”

Canon PowerShot E1 Press Release

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., – Canon U.S.A., a leader in digital imaging, is expanding its iconic PowerShot digital camera line with the introduction of its new, stylish and easy-to-use PowerShot E1 digital camera, targeted to the teen and tween markets. Whether taking photos with a “BFF” at a slumber party, snapping shots while watching a hot band perform or capturing cap-and-gown moments for a scrapbook or brag book, the PowerShot E1 digital camera offers just the right combination of intuition and style. Sporting a rounded and curvy, yet trendy form factor, the camera comes packed with the features and technology consumers have come to expect from Canon, but with a friendly price-point of $199*. This camera incorporates a 10-megapixel resolution, 4x Optical Zoom-lens; with Optical Image Stabilization, Canon’s Face Detection Technology and Easy Mode.

Ideal for the on-the-go, fashion-conscious teen who relishes being a trendsetter, the PowerShot E1 digital camera is available in three new eye-catching colors including white, blue and pink. Teens and tweens can now capture every “OMG moment,” with the option of 17 shooting modes, including Easy Mode and Scene Mode. In Easy Mode, the camera limits the shooting and playback functions to the basics for easy operation, creating ease-of-use for even the most entry-level camera owner. What’s more, consumers will never miss a shot, either home or away, because the camera uses readily available AA batteries.

“Canon keeps photography fun and inspiring for memory-seekers of all ages by producing a camera that is relevant to a younger market,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice president and general manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon U.S.A. “With our new E-series line of products, Canon is offering the opportunity to experience the joy of digital photography, with the style, quality and price-point they can afford.”

Taking customization and expression to the max, the PowerShot E1 digital camera includes exclusive options, such as customizable shutter, start-up and operation sounds. Start-up screens and menus can be perfectly coordinated with the camera’s body color, bringing an additional level of personalization to the camera. And if still images just aren’t enough to capture an unpredictable moment, the PowerShot E1 digital camera has video recording capabilities with long-play mode, which allows longer recording times at the same recording pixel and frame rate.
