Introduction  
x 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.
