Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS Digital Camera Review

The Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS is a well priced compact camera that offers a decent zoom range and shoots attractive photos (apart from some minor color issues) and decent video, making it a good pick for casual shooters. More serious users, however, will miss the manual controls that are not available, and the LCD screen on the back of the camera is not as sharp as other similar sized models.

Page 1 Product Tour Read More...	Page 2 Color Color accuracy is good overall, yet oranges and blue look rather muted. Read More...	Page 3 Noise The ISO range is wide, and noise is low overall, but images get a little noisy at the highest ISO levels. Read More...
Page 4 Resolution Images are very sharp. Still, there is some distortion and aberration, and the image stabilization doesn’t make much of a difference. Read More...	Page 5 Video It captures 720p HD video, but the video has weak color and motion. Read More...	Page 6 Sample Photos A gallery of photos taken with the Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS Read More...
Page 7 Playback Playback and image scrolling are speedy, though the slideshow is weak. Read More...	Page 8 Hardware It’s a small, compact package, but again, the metal skin of the case scratches easily. Read More...	Page 9 Controls The controls and interface are easy to use, yet some of the back controls need 2 hands. Read More...
Page 10 Design & Handling The shutter and zoom controls are well placed, but we found the lack of any finger grips means it tends to slip out of the hand. Read More...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47

Panasonic resists the urge to cram more megapixels and more focal length into their latest ultrazoom. The FZ47 instead focuses on image quality and features, resulting in an incredibly strong camera that we loved shooting with. Read full 16-part review
