Canon PowerShot A4000 IS

Make no mistake, this is an entry-level point and shoot if you've ever seen one. At first glance, though, you might be like me and figure you're getting a higher-end model – it's got a cleaner, sturdier look and feel to it than many of the budget...

Nice, simple control interface ; Inner-navigation is incredibly simple ; Just enough extra options to keep exploring

You’re limited with it comes to ISO ; Average low light performance at best

While the PowerShot A4000 IS isn’t going to blow any minds, it will fit the bill as a dependable, quality camera for quite a few.

Canon PowerShot A4000 IS

Under the right conditions, the Canon PowerShot A4000 IS is a camera capable of capturing some very nice photos, although you'll quickly lose detail if you set its ISO too high. Its optically stabilized 8x zoom lens is impressive when you consider the...

Sharp photos. 8x zoom range. Optical image stabilization

Slow to start up and recycle. Excessive noise reduction. Limited to digital zoom during video recording

The Canon PowerShot A4000 IS can capture sharp photos and has a nice 8x zoom lens. It keeps noise low at higher ISOs, but sacrifices a good amount of image detail in doing so.
