Canon PowerShot SD940 IS

 

The Canon PowerShot SD940 IS ($300 as of 1/19/2010) might look familiar to you, especially if you've seen the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS. Both models have an eye-catching design--including a lens casing that's the same color as the camera's body--and...

Fashionable looks ; Very good image quality with and without flash

Small zoom ring and buttons ; Flimsy doors cover battery and A/V ports

The slim, stylish PowerShot SD940 IS is an upgrade over the sexy PowerShot SD780 IS, offering a wider-angle lens and a handful of enhancements for $50 more.

Canon PowerShot SD940 IS

 

The Canon PowerShot SD940 IS may be tiny (think cell-phone size), but it packs lots of goodies.

Very small build. Simple user interface. Fast shooting speeds. HD video capture. Mini-HDMI out.

Small control buttons. Images are soft.

Canon PowerShot SD940 IS review: Canon PowerShot SD940 IS

 

Canon PowerShot SD940 IS

Very small; simple operation; very good photo, HD movie quality; HDMI out.

No optical zoom in Movie mode; mixed performance.

One of the best ultracompacts available, the Canon PowerShot SD940 IS nonetheless falls short of greatness in performance and photo quality.

Canon Digital IXUS 120 IS Review

 

The Canon Digital IXUS 120 IS (also known as the PowerShot SD940 IS Digital ELPH) is the slimmest ever IXUS / ELPH camera. Measuring 20mm thick, the 12 megapixel Canon 120 IS compact camera also offers a 4x optical zoom lens with an wide 28mm setting...

Those looking for a portable, well-built, eye-catching snapshot model with a smattering of cappuccino bar style for weekend breaks or social events could do worse than check out Canon's Digital IXUS 120 IS. While its asking price would buy a competing...

Review: Canon PowerShot SD940 IS camera

 

One of the best ultracompact point-and-shoots we've seen in the past year.

The similarities between the two cameras go beyond aesthetics. Both offer 12-megapixel image resolution, effective optical stabilization, 720p high-def movie capture (in MOV files at 30 frames per second), an HDMI-out port, the same fun Color Accent...

Canon PowerShot SD940 IS

 

At 12.1-megapixels, the Canon PowerShot SD940 IS is a powerful digital camera with plenty of features and it comes in a small sized device. The shooting speed is also very quick and the price is not much either, so it will go easy on your budget as...

Small, lightweight size ; Fast shooting speeds & low shutter lag ; HD video capture & output via mini-HDMI port
