Reviews of the Canon PowerShot SD940 IS (black)

CNET Review
The Good: Very small; simple operation; very good photo, HD movie quality; HDMI out.
The Bad: No optical zoom in Movie mode; mixed performance.
The Bottom Line: One of the best ultracompacts available, the Canon PowerShot SD940 IS nonetheless falls short of greatness in performance and photo quality.
