Pros Tiny size, 7.1MP, 3x optical zoom, some manual features, Excellent color accuracy,...
Cons Weak Flash, Pictures not as sharp as some larger 7 MP cameras, Weak Battery
Recommended it? Yes

My brother got lucky for his birthday... he's getting a new iPod Mini from me and a brand spanking new SD500 from my parents. Now he has stuff to make me a bit envious of him in the world of high tech... including his new Infiniti G35. Well, he worked hard for it.

INTRO:
I bought the Canon PowerShot SD940 IS for myself. I wanted a camera that was small, had good battery life, and shot video. The Canon PowerShot SD940 IS is all three.

At 3 1/2 inches by 2 1/4 inches and less than 3/4 of an inch wide the Canon PowerShot SD940 IS fits... Read full review »

I like how easy this cameria is to use. It is small and easily fits in a pocket or purse. I like the rechargeable battery, it lasts for a long time.
