 Canon PowerShot SD40 review at Steves Digicams : Our good friends at Steves Digicams have published their review of the Canon SD40 digital camera. The Canon PowerShot SD40, or Canon Digital IXUS i7 features packs 7.1 Megapixels of righteous resolution into a color-keyed, stainless steel case that bespeaks luxury. The brain behind this beauty is the DIGIC III, the newest iteration of Canon's ultra-efficient (and proprietary) image processor. Shared thus far only with Canon's new flagship PowerShot G7 model - it is the DIGIC III chip that accounts for the cameras' higher performance levels including faster start up, auto focus and shutter response times; improved maximum processing speed; and of course, enhanced image quality.

 Canon SD40 camera - Performance
According to Steve Digicams: "Shooting performance is excellent, thanks in part to the DIGIC III processor. Power up to first image captured measured only 1.2 seconds! Shutter lag, the delay between pressing the shutter release and capturing the image, measured 1/10 of a second when pre-focused and 3/10 of a second including auto focus. When shooting rapid sequences in single exposure mode, the shot to shot delay averaged about 1.6 seconds without using the flash and about 3 to 5 seconds with the flash, depending on subject distance."
Canon PowerShot SD40 review conclusion - Steves Digicams
Steve continues: "There's also a digital zoom feature, but we urge you not to use this function as image quality suffers. This lens exhibits moderate barrel distortion at wide angle, but virtually no pincushioning at full telephoto. Our outdoor sample photos were sharp, showed accurate exposure and rich color saturation. Noise levels in high/low contrast areas are low when the ISO is set to 400 or below, but 800 and 1600 are pretty noisy." You want to learn more about the Canon PowerShot digital camera?
