Best Standard Point and Shoot Canon Digital Cameras - Video Cable Included Accessories

'ISO 1,600 images are rough at 5x7, with very grainy shadows, and a more pointillist painting feel throughout, which doesn't get much better at 4x6.'

'slow shutter speed'

'Selecting settings is somewhat confusing, because both buttons on the back bring up menus, with only icons and single words for identification.'

'Reds are a little warm, blues are a bit bright, and greens are a bit too vibrant, but most casual shooters probably won't consider this a fault.'

'not quite small enough to slip into your jeans'

'Images plagued with artifacts and fringing.'

'This is an irritating design, and large thumbs will be prone to accidentally bumping the zoom in or out, or changing settings such as flash when using the zoom.'

'the camera supports only 10 frames per second, even for its "high-quality" VGA clips, which results in pretty jerky video.'

'extremely substandard 2.0-inch, 86,000-pixel LCD screen.'

'the camera is not known to produce the sharpest photos'

'Designed along the lines of a smaller SLR camera there is nothing really wrong with the design, but there are many more stylish cameras around.'

'slow flash recharge'

'Running its highest setting of ISO 800, it scored a mammoth 2.45, which is an exceptionally poor result, even for a compact.'

'While you may not notice the low resolution at first glance, when you compare it to some other cameras with "nicer" screens you will see a noticeable difference.'

'small size means small features in the SD40's case'

'Terrible image noise.'

'The small size of this $350 camera means some compromises have been made: The zoom is a 2.4x model, and the screen is only 1.8 inches.'
