Abstract: A couple of years ago Canon stood as the undisputed leader in virtually all areas of the digital camera market, but it has recently seen that lead disappear under a relentless onslaught from its many determined rivals, particularly Panasonic, Samsung and ...
This stylish little camera packs a big punch. The dynamic range and low-light performance are excellent thanks to the HS-system CMOS sensor, and the Smart Auto mode is reliable under a variety of settings. With a few fun extras thrown in like fisheye a...
Brighter than average lens (at wide angle), Sensible resolution delivers better low-light results, 720p HD movies and slow motion video at 240fps, Great auto along with Aperture and Shutter Priority, Fast continuous shooting at full resolution.
Compelling rivals at similar price, Best quality 4:3 mode looks small on wide display, Minimal labelling on rear controls, Some focus-drifting in videos under low light.
There's no denying the Canon IXUS 300 HS / SD4000 IS is a good solid compact. It combines the slick build and great auto modes of the IXUS / ELPH range, but adds much faster continuous shooting, manual controls and superior low light capabilities to t...
Aperture- and shutter-priority modes, f2.0 lens creates shallow depth-of-field effects, Compact size with high-end performance, Very good low-light images, Excellent image quality in most situations,
No full manual exposure controls, No dedicated mode dial, Disappointing low-light video, Accessing settings takes a few button presses, Autofocus searches in video mode

The PowerShot SD4000 IS is one of the most impressive compact cameras we've tested, offering image quality and lens capabilities we're used to seeing on professional cameras. Shop for the PowerShot SD4000 IS MerchantPriceMerchant Rating $299.95 Learn ...
Good image quality, particularly at lower ISO settings, Pleasant image color, Reasonable levels of detail (it drops at the long end of the zoom or high ISO), Straightforward control system, Handy zoom range with a fairly fast lens, Fast continuous shooting, Very good battery life, Wide range of extra modes and features (some useful, some fun),
Images don't always stand up to very close scrutiny, Limited control over flash (so you can't prevent the occasional over-exposure), Function menu not as quick to use as previous generations of SD/IXUS,
The SD4000 IS fits into a very well established line of cameras that have tended to get good reviews for being dependable, well-polished little cameras. And, despite our sample's matte-black finish, the SD4000 IS has that same lustre. It does exactly ...
Nice 3.8x lens with maximum aperture of f/2 for shooting in low light, Aperture and Shutter Priority modes, Generally sharp images with low corner softness, Image Stabilizer helps keep images sharp, Beautiful, compact design with ergonomic bevelled edg...
f/2.0 aperture only available at 28mm wide setting, Awkward Function menu interface makes quick changes in settings difficult, 8.4 fps burst mode reduces image size to 2.5MP, Super Slow Motion movie function reduces video clips to 320x240 pixels, No RA...
Combining high quality with high style, Canon has integrated an f/2 lens into a compact Digital ELPH design and called it the PowerShot SD4000. Don't let the Canon SD4000's diminutive size and attractive touchable design fool you; it's capable of captu...
The Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS is a well priced compact camera that offers a decent zoom range and shoots attractive photos with low noise and a good level of detail. We also found that the noise level in images stayed pretty low as we jacked the IS...
Canon Ixus cameras have become a benchmark for compact cameras. The Canon IXUS 300 HS is no exception. It delivers clean and clear images and video footage across a range of shooting and light conditions and is a joy to use. With some fun functions to...
