Canon PowerShot Elph 130 IS

 

The Canon PowerShot Elph 130 IS features Wi-Fi and an 8x zoom lens, but for a few dollars more you can get a much better compact camera.

8x zoom lens. Sharp images. Wi-Fi.

Slow performance. Noisy images at moderate ISO settings. Video limited to 720p.

Performance and Conclusions The Elph 130 IS isn't the speediest camera on the block. It requires 1.9 seconds to start and capture a photo, and languishes for a full 2.3 seconds between shots. The shutter lag is 0.2-second, which is acceptably speedy....

Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS

 

The Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS is a great choice if you want a very small camera that's easy to use and produces high-quality images. If you have big hands, though, the controls might be too tiny.

Good image quality. Very small build. Easy to use. Decent low-light performance.

Tiny controls. A keen eye might detect slight blooming in images.

Canon Powershot SD1400 review: Canon Powershot SD1400

 

Canon Powershot SD1400

Tiny, attractive design; well-priced.

No marked improvements from previous model.

The PowerShot SD1400 IS is another stylish ultracompact from Canon with features and performance that are stuck in the past.

Canon Digital IXUS 130 Review

 

The Canon Digital IXUS 130 (also known as the PowerShot SD1400 IS) is the slimmest ever IXUS / PowerShot digital camera. Measuring just 17.8mm at its thickest point, the 14 megapixel Canon 130 compact camera offers a 4x optical zoom lens with a 28mm...

The Canon Digital IXUS 130 continues the long-standing IXUS tradition of small, stylish and well-built cameras, with the added benefit of being the slimmest model to date. The high price and merely average image quality do take some of the sheen off...

Best cheap digital camera with HD video

 

The Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS is just about the size of a credit card and only 0.7 inches thick, which may be its biggest appeal, reviewers say. The tiny camera packs a big punch when it comes to photo quality and features, but when compared...

Consistently good image quality, hD video capabilities, small, sleek design, sturdy build

Limited manual controls, slow continuous shooting, small, flat control buttons, no optical zoom in video mode

Canon IXUS 130 / PowerShot SD1400 IS

 

The beauty is more than skin-deep too. The IXUS 130 / SD1400 IS inherits the 720p HD movie mode and HDMI port of its predecessor, while featuring more sophisticated scene detection which does a great job of working out what you're trying to take in...

Very slim and stylish body; looks and feels great., 4x stabilised zoom with 28mm wide coverage., Foolproof Auto with scene detection., 720p HD video and HDMI output

Pointlessly slow continuous shooting speed., Cannot optically zoom while filming., Optical viewfinder of earlier model missing., Face, smile and wink timers in strange location

Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS Review

 

Like its predecessor, I enjoyed spending time with the SD1400 IS. It's small, sleek and easily transportable, and has very good build quality. It takes nice-looking photos and movies and has many interesting features. It has a high-quality lens that...

Small size, Excellent build quality, Very good, low distortion images at low ISOs, High quality HD movies

Limited optical zoom, No independent control over aperture and shutter speed, Instances of chromatic aberration

Canon IXUS 130 IS digital camera

 

A petite Canon digital camera with great image quality

Excellent clarity, captures colours vividly, f/2.8 aperture, reasonably good performance in dim lighting conditions

Build quality could be better, buttons are hard to press, top of case creaks, battery compartment can be hard to open, poor zoom control

Canon's IXUS 130 IS is small enough to reside in your pocket so that you can take it anywhere -- but the best part is that it's capable of capturing beautifully clear and vibrant images. It's not a perfect camera though: its buttons can be hard to...

Canon IXUS 130

 

Canon's pocket-sized IXUS snapshot is sleek, stylish and has curves in all the right places. But has it achieved the correct balance between form and function?

Canon Ixus 130 review

 

An excellent point-and-shoot compact for beginners, with plenty of features and great image quality

Well-made ; Excellent screen ; Uncomplicated operation ; Excellent value

No manual mode ; Average movie mode

Canon's Ixus range has been around since the photographic dark ages, and to say each addition carries with it high expectations is quite an understatement.
