Why Digicams Slap

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
