Canon PowerShot SD40 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 2.4x Optical Zoom (Precious Rose) Reviews

just got this camera for Christmas. I hate reading directions, so I popped the battery and memory card in and I was off! Very user friendly, and has all the right options. Plus, its about the size of the average cell phone. The coolest thing about the powershot is that it knows which way you're holding the camera, so if you hold it vertical to get a tall shot, the viewer turns all by itself. I also love that you can edit video on the camera and set up slide shows. Its very easy to load pics onto my computer with the USB connection - or to set up a slide show for the TV. It even holds voice memos and has cute sound effects when I take pictures. This is really a great camera.

PROS: Small; user friendly; takes excellent outdoor pictures.

CONS: Limited zoom; flash in low light conditions washes out colors.

The Canon SD40 is small, sleek, and takes excellent pictures when it's sunny out. I'm especially pleased with the super-simple slider that lets me switch between picture-taking, video-capturing, and viewing modes. This camera is a winner!
