    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.
