Looks Good
I bought this as a Christmas present for my husband, so he has not yet used it. It looked good and it small and compact which is what he wanted.

Low-light amazingness. BUY THIS CAMERA.
I originally bought this little beauty because I needed a tiny camera to drop into my pocket when I didn't feel like lugging the SLR around with me while on a vacation. The size is perfect: literally the size of a credit card, fits into jeans or shirt pocket easily. But the REAL awesomeness of this camera? It has a 3200 ISO mode, that takes surprisingly excellent photos. On a recent trip to Italy, I was able to use it unnoticed in dimly-lit churches, museums, etc., and even for hand-held night shots on the street. The images do contain some noise, as any would at ISO 3200 -- but this camera allowed me to get pictures that I otherwise would've missed, and that makes it a little miracle in my opinion.

Same old Canon P&S
In the last 5 years I have had a handful of these Canon point and Shoots at my disposal- this one is not much different than the previous iterations, despite the marketing gizmos and the public's uneducated craving for more pixels. Granted, it's still a 'good' camera. Just not much new from any other Canon PowerShot.
HD video? not like this is a crazy 'advanced' feature on a sensor that can see quadruple the HD format. It's a marketing trade name- believe it. And people wowed by the HDMI output are oblivious that this is CHEAPER to engineer- digital ~ digital. It has nothing to do with Quality and nor does amping it up to 12 MP.
Comparing my Powershot of 3 years ago- I tested the shutter delay between shots (yes, a half press pre, we are talking write time- black display) Both are the same. I could care less about the useless face recognition, I just want to recoup for the next shot FASTER. Come on, I know you can do this canon.
What drives me nuts is how Canon likes to completely revamp the menu placement. One model has the P (program) then others have M (Manual) and then some have both. Some have a time lapse function buried in the M, others have it as part of the "Movie" function. What I like about a company is stick-tuitiveness and consistency- these wishy-washy marketing product managers are living in a haze.
Another irk with P&S's in general is the on-camera flash. Nikon at one time had function to +/- the flash fill- Canon, not so much. It's always overblown- if you compensate -1 or -2 it loses everything else. I always tape a piece of 1/2 spun over the flash, helps a little.
If you want a reliable P&S and you DONT want to THINK- this might be ok for general use. Thats who it's made for. The average person- not a photographer who wants to get creative. But that's obvious. Right?

Super Compact with great features!
I researched forever after my canon sd450 died. As a DSLR user, I was not looking for a camera to take award winning shots. Instead, I wanted (in this order) :
1) Super Ultra Compact
2) HD Video
3) Decent picture quality for 4x6 and 5x7 prints
I feel that this camera fits all of these needs perfectly. It is TINY. I agonized between this model and the sd780. The sd780is is apparently even thinner than this one and includes HD-movie-mode but I ultimately decided to pick the 940is because of its better optical zoom and the wider angle. I believe they are both about the same dimensions except for depth. I can't imagine it being any thinner though so don't let that make your decision.
The picture quality goes from great to decent depending on lighting.
You will love this camera if you are looking for ultimate portability!

Great camera
Great camera. I got it after much research because I wanted to get the smallest high quality P & S. I'm an advanced amateur with two DSLR's but needed a small P & S for the wife to use and for me to carry when I wanted something really, really small.
The SD940IS is truly small but delivers very high quality photos.
The only quibbles I have are that the menus take some getting used to and the buttons on the back are so small that they require me to use my fingernail rather than my finger to operate them.
Other than that, it's a great little camera and I'm glad I bought it.

Canon Cameras HistoryCanon Corporation is a world-known manufacturer of office equipment ranging from printers and fax machines to scanners and copying machines.
The amount of photographic equipment produced by Canon is rather moderate in comparison to their other products. But it is in demand around the world. Don’t forget that it is the photographic cameras that the company began its business with.
As early as in 1933 Goro Yoshida and his brother-in-law, Sabura, founded the Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory in Tokyo. Their goal was to create a Japanese camera and make it known throughout the world. To begin with, the young people bought up and examined most advanced German models of that day. The enterprise was sponsored by Takeshi Mitarai, best friend of Uchida, a prosperous doctor, who later became president of the company.
In the following year, 1934, Japan's first domestically-made 35mm focal-plane shutter camera “was born” and was named "Kwanon" - after the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. The trademark Canon was registered a year later.
The first consumer model Hansa Canon appeared in 1937 and the le... More About Canon Cameras |
