Canon Powershot SD40 Review
Review Summary
Reader Score: 7.13 (out of 10)
Review: "The Canon PowerShot SD40 follows the SD30 by adding a few more megapixels, a whole new image processor, and a few adjustments to the specs. This 7.1-megapixel Digital Elph comes in four trendy colors and measures smaller than most cell phones. It has a 2.4x optical zoom lens and a 1.8-inch LCD screen. The biggest innovation on the SD40 is the Digic III image processor that touts face detection and noise reduction technology...

...Canon really skimped on this camera's components. The 2.4x optical zoom lens has limited apertures and a horrible control. The built-in flash unit is undersized and hardly lights anything beyond arm?s length. The LCD screen measures only 1.8 inches, making up only a third of the camera's back. While this PowerShot may be one of Canon?s most attractive models, it is full of trade offs in terms of quality and performance."

Review: "Canon designers have intended the ELPH line to do double duty as a fashion accessory since these petite models started appearing in the hands - and around the necks - of the style-conscious ten years ago. These days, there are few cameras more stylish than the Canon PowerShot SD40 Digital ELPH, the colorful little shooter that is the replacement for last year's popular 5-megapixel Canon SD30.

The small and snazzy Canon SD40 is a digital camera that puts as much importance on style as it does on picture taking. And while it wouldn't look out of place dangling from a wrist on a night out on the town - or on the fashion runway, for that matter - this model's 7 megapixel imaging chip and a host of new features such as Canon's speedy DIGIC III processor and helpful Face Detection AF/AE technology are designed to produce quality photos. In most basic shooting situations it does just that. Dim the lights and turn off the flash, though, and the SD40 struggles, despite being able to shoot at light sensitivities as high as ISO 1,600..."
