Loaded with first-of-its-kind features and high-end capabilities, the Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS Digital ELPH gives ELPH lovers all new reasons to step up. Never before has Canon equipped an ELPH with a back-illuminated CMOS sensor-driven HS System or an f/2.0 lens--both of which deliver incredible images in low light. And shooting action or sporting events has never been so fun, with High-Speed Burst mode and the Super Slow Motion Movie function to mix things up. You'll control shots like a pro with Aperture- and Shutter- priority modes, and play your 720p HD movies effortlessly on your HDTV. All this from a super-slim style icon--what more could you ask? PowerShot SD4000 IS Highlights 10.0-megapixel CMOS sensor combined with the DIGIC 4 Image Processor create the Canon HS System The Canon HS System takes the frustration out of low light shooting. The system delivers clear, blur-free shots with all the ambiance intact, and frees you from the sometimes unwanted effects of using the flash. Beautiful low light shots are possible at both low and high ISO speeds, and the dynamic range is expanded to retain maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas. The system is the result of two technologies brought together in a compact PowerShot. The first is the 10.0-megapixel CMOS sensor, which positions the light-receiving surface for optimal light reception. More light means clearer, blur-free images with plenty of detail and nuance, even in dark areas. Working together with the CMOS sensor to deliver the HS System is Canon's advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor, which actively reduces noise and delivers high speed image processing. Bright f/2.0 lens, great for shooting in low light conditions or using a shallow depth-of-field The Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS Digital ELPH sports an f/2.0 aperture, perfect for creating enticing portraits, by drawing attention to the face and blurring the background with its impressively shallow depth-of-field. The Macro setting lets you get even closer. The large aperture also does more. It lets you capture more nuances in low light shooting by using more of the available light. You'll be ready for anything with a lens aperture larger than even many professional sizes. 720p HD movie shooting capability plus HDMI output The Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS Digital ELPH lets you record video in beautiful 720p high definition (1280 x 720 pixels). The camera also makes it easy to enjoy HD movies (and still photos) on your HDTV with a mini-HDMI connector for direct connection to a high definition TV monitor. You'll enjoy the HD experience with no degradation of image or audio in the signal, plus the ability to display up to 130 still images at once. Super Slow Motion Movie function and High-Speed Burst mode Give your movies a whole new look with the Super Slow Motion Movie function. Whether you're going for a dreamy, creative slant when documenting family moments, or making a highlight film of your kids' greatest sports plays, you'll love the high quality capture of this all-new feature. The camera shoots your clips at high speed (approx. 240fps) and plays them back at 30fps for the inimitable super slow motion feeling you'll love. High-Speed Burst is exactly what you need when you're trying to capture the best possible shot within a moment of fast-moving action. In High-Speed Burst mode, the camera automatically shoots continuously at high speed (approx. 8.4fps)* while you simply hold down the shutter. The mode lets you shoot sporting events, kids in motion, wildlife and any situation with unpredictable movement, then simply choose the best shots captured. * Depending on the shooting conditions, camera settings and the zoom position, the shooting speed may slow down. As the number of images increases, the shooting interval may take longer. Scene modes such as Miniature Effect and Fisheye Effect, plus Low Light mode The Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS Digital ELPH offers creative effects similar to those found in certain professional lenses. Miniature Effect creates an illusion where very large objects appear in miniature proportions. Turn soaring cityscapes into a scene in seemingly dollhouse-like proportions. Fisheye Effect uses barrel distortion to warp the image around the center, giving a distinctive curvature effect to the photo. The curvilinear images produced by Fisheye Effect can suggest the curve of the Earth, the inside of a dome, or the image you see through the peephole of a door. With an ISO of 400 - 6400, the Low Light mode takes the Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS Digital ELPH where no ELPH-Series has gone before - into the shadows! Now even scenes notorious for having insufficient light, such as those lit by candles, fire, or street lamp, come through in fantastic color and clarity, with less noise. You can keep the feel of the scene intact without adding additional light, so the result will be scenes with the visual accuracy, depth and clarity you expect from a Canon camera. Shooting Modes Advanced presets for the best possible photos under certain conditions. With 23 Shooting Modes, you're ready for whatever shot comes your way. Shoot like a pro with Aperture- and Shutter-priority modes For photography enthusiasts, the ability to control aperture and shutter speed is key. The Aperture- and Shutter-priority modes on the Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS Digital ELPH make it easy for anyone to take extra control over the look and feel of images captured. In Aperture-priority mode, you set the aperture and the camera automatically selects an appropriate shutter speed. This lets you create sharp subjects with beautifully blurred backgrounds, and landscapes with foreground, middle ground and background all in focus. Shutter-priority mode lets you choose a shutter speed while the camera automatically selects the aperture. Higher shutter speeds are great for catching stop-action shots of moving subjects, while lower shutter speeds can create atmospheric blur.

Finally, I decided to wait for this unit instead of buying the S90 because of the characteristics of the video and low light capabilities. And 'the past, the ability to dim light of a camera actually separates one from the other camera (while keeping the details / minimizing noise) Of course, these are the main features and the lenses quickly through all levels of optical zoom and a wide angle on the right (28 mm equivalent). I have a Canon 20D 7D and was not concerned about the ability of RAW. In the end I wanted a very compact, very versatile camera that I could take it anywhere. This camera does all this and more. Advantages: Low light shots exceeds expectations. Slightly better than average noise for low light shooting. HD video footage in 720p also exceeded expectations. It's so good you'll probably use more of my Canon 7D, due to ease of HD recording allows you to zoom (optical and digital) and macro during filming. -240 FPS / shooting is fun. Definitely low resolution is very sensitive and subject to the amount of light in terms of quality, but still fun can record video in light conditions a little smaller. I use to capture our dogs to play and chase toys. A fun option to have a camera and the icing on the cake. Fantastic macro-. I wanted to know about the macro, since there is little information available. Make sure this is great macro. -The build quality is great. The matte black feels solid in your hand and has a texture a little "rough" that makes it easy to maintain and hopefully easier to use. -When you zoom in image preview mode, previews of the camera 130 images on screen at once! Very cool. -Small / light enough for the pocket with ease ... even in a shirt pocket. Bonito-3 "LCD display. One of the best I've seen-Very intuitive controls. It takes some "getting used to them (especially after using the camera), but when you use them, are simple to operate and control. AMAZED of the versatility of the simple layout / control. UPDATE: stereo microphones, I think. CONS ( I really do not mind one of these, so only a few minor problems): feel-zoom lens while recording video, less than my 7D (7D has much larger engines).-During replay, no options for "fast forward / rewind" to get to the parts of the video in a hurry for review. It would be very helpful, but not including, however., Optical zoom x3.8 just missing. He could live in a little "more . -UPDATE: The doors are annoying to get to (USB / HDMI). I'm behind a plastic cover hard against a soft rubber that is under normal circumstances. However, this is probably due to the limited size of the camera and to the ports on the side where it is more desirable to have dressed better hardcover UPDATE 6/21/10: I just got back from the campsite and bring your camera. I am increasingly impressed by the low light ability and versatility. I was not aware of a number of interesting features / gimmicks that I actually like. Example of a faux fisheye image modification, tilt-shift image miniaturization effects (blur the top and bottom of the frame), Color Accent feature (keep a selected color in the image, while the rest is B & W), Color swap (change a color in the scene to the shooting), and a panoramic stitch assist for adjusting images when shooting multiple images ... a few. It has other features, but these are the most remarkable in my opinion. What is also interesting (I have not had a chance to test it) is that there is a timer / timer function is related to 1) a smile is detected, 2) a woman is identified, and 3) a new face in the scene if it works, it's certainly an interesting feature. I still intend to update with new video.
