Why one camera has three names
Canon sold most of its compacts under a different name in each region. The camera Americans know as the PowerShot SD1000 is the Digital IXUS 70 in Europe and the IXY Digital 10 in Japan. Listings, reviews and sample photos are split across all three names, so every page here lists them together. Browse the full Canon list to match any name.
