Just got my Canon Digital IXUS 40 Digicam

[chconline Veteran]

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?

hey, that'd be great!

i was looking into the sd300 and s500, but now i might actually get the new sd400. i was reading reviews all over the place to find out more about the sd300. i can't wait for your review.

Did you ever use the previous models that camera is based on? I have the s410 and was wondering if there are any big differences between the two as I was thinking about giving mine to my bro and buying another.

nope. i don't own a digital camera, so whatever i buy now will be my first one. i've never really used any digital cameras either, so i can't help you out.

the sd400 looks really good, though. the only thing that worries me about the sd-series is reading about cracked lcd panels.

I have an Ixus I, it's pretty amazing too, smallest 4MP camera in the world :) I love it :D

heh i meant to quote the other g:) :) not sure why there would be a concern about cracked lcd panels though. I have no problems with the canon s410 which is essentially the same camera but a earlier model.
