“The Canon E1’s 4x optical zoom lens produced good quality images as well, with low distortion and only minimal blurring in the corners. Styling is more for the younger shooter, resembling a Hello Kitty product, but there’s no denying that the Canon E1 captures very good images, so it’s a clear Dave’s Pick.”
