Canon PowerShot SD 4000 IS/IXUS 300 HS Review
The SD/IXUS range is made up of Canon’s ‘style-orientated’ compact cameras and, as the rest of the market has fragmented into innumerable niches,
Canon SD4000
the range has grown to accommodate an increasing variety of needs. The SD4000 IS tops the current lineup, offering a 3.8x wide-angle zoom and (despite its underlying point-and-shoot disposition) aperture and shutter priority modes. In addition the SD4000 IS is the first of its family to be based around a back-lit CMOS sensor that enables several high speed modes and promises improved low-light performance.
The SD4000 IS’s low-key styling belies the fact that it’s actually a very well-specified compact camera. In addition to the relative novelty of a back-lit CMOS sensor, it also features a lens that starts at a 28mm equivalent F2.0 – impressive even if it ends up at a rather less noteworthy F5.3 at the 105mm equivalent end of its zoom range. We’re curious to see the effect of using a back-side illuminated CMOS sensor in the SD400
