I just got my new Canon Digital IXUS 40 in Hong Kong and WOW I was amazed. First of all... it had a relatively low price compared to the SD300 in Canada (It's exactly the same camera). Really small size, 4.0 Megapixels and fast startups, MUCH faster shutter speeds than my old Canon. It can take night shots without the lights messing up and going all over the photo. Long battery life and great photo quality... and it can take movie modes up to 60FPS. LCD Screen displays nice accurate colours and barely any ghosting.
I'll make a review and post some photos of it when I get home...
Anyone else have experience with the SD300 or IXUS 40?
