Canon SD40

The Canon PowerShot SD40 Digital ELPH, also known as the Digital IXUS i7 in some countries, is the kind of digital camera that turns heads. It can easily be described as one of the sleekest and loveliest of all digital cameras. Measuring a 96.1 x 45.1 x 23.9 mm, the Canon SD40 is an ultra compact digital camera that can be easily fit into your pocket.

Comes in four color schemes, the Canon SD40 gives you more options to choose. You can choose one of the four dazzling colors such as noble blue, precious rose, olive grey and twilight sepia.

In terms of features, the Canon SD40 camera is actually packed with lots of powerful features to back up its shiny shell. The camera sports a 7.1 megapixel resolution with a 2.4x optical zoom to enable you producing pictures with excellent detail.

Features include:

- 7.1 Megapixels

- 2.4x optical zoom

- 1.8-inch LCD

- ISO 1600

- 17 shooting modes

- My Colors photo effects

- SD/SDHC/MMC card compatible

- Rechargeable Li-ion battery NB-4L

The DIGIC III image processor with the face detection features allow you to take sharp and stunning pictures since the processor drives an improvement in responsiveness and color rendering.

The Canon SD40 is also equipped with lots of powerful features such as high ISO noise reduction feature, lower power consumption feature and an impressive ISO speed of up to 1600.

In addition, you can control movie playback and slideshows on the TV as the camera featured with Wireless Controller.

One of the features I really like is the ‘Camera Station’ feature that comes with the Canon SD40. This feature makes it possible for quick and easy printing, battery charging and PC uploads.

Unfortunately, some consumers complain on the below-average LCD size that comes with the camera. They expect a larger LCD screen to preview and line up the shot.

Overall, this sleek pocket-sized Canon SD40 camera is considered a good deal because it has lots of features that even novice can produce excellent pictures.
