The SD40 is a very small, rather cute camera. While this small size means that there are some compromises, these are relatively few. The manual controls aren’t very intuitive and a there is a limited zoom range, but that’s about it. And these aren’t going to be a problem for most of the users of this digital camera. The Canon PowerShot SD40 is a simple, portable point-and-shoot. We’ll have to wait for a more in-depth test to truly judge image quality, but so far this Digital Elph looks promising.
