The Canon-Powershot-A1000IS has a slim design with a 4x Optical Zoom with an Optical Image Stabilizer so that pictures aren't blurry from camera shake. The Powershot is fast and responsive so I can catch action shots.

I also love the multishot feature because it can capture 10 shots in 10 seconds. The Canon A1000-IS also has a great feature called "protect" so that you can protect your pictures so they don't get deleted accidentally.

I chose this camera out of all of them because it is a cheap Canon point and shoot digital camera. This camera was recognized as an "Editors Choice Pick" by PC Magazine, as one of the best priced point and shoot cameras currently on the market in 2009
