Full Aperture

I bought the Canon PowerShot SD940IS off of Amazon.co.uk because I had owned a PowerShot before and loved it and heard that the 720p videos that you could shoot with this one came out very nice. I bought this as my family camera, but it quickly became my primary camera because of its ability to consistently take great shots. I have been very impressed with basically all of the features and think that I made the best choice available to me.

When they say that this is camera has a wide angled lens, they are not lying. I can see way more to the left and the right than I could with my old camera, which is great because there is more to look at in each and every picture. The quality is easily the best that I have ever had in a camera.

One thing that I was a little worried about was the overall quality of the high definition movies that it could shoot, but those worries were quickly put to rest when I first shot a short film of my family at the beach. That was my first time even using the feature and was blown away by how nice everything looked. The LCD screen did make it look good, but it was on my TV where I really saw all of the great details of each scene.

I am not much for taking pictures with any camera’s auto mode, but I did give it a try with this one and it isn’t very consistent. Most of the pictures that it takes in auto mode are nice quality, but there is a least one in every batch that comes out a bit blurry. This could have something to do with the settings that I have on the camera, so maybe it has more to do with my lack of knowledge in this area rather than the camera itself messing up the pictures. Either way, not a very big deal to me.

The Canon PowerShot SD940IS might not be a high end camera, but that certainly doesn’t mean that people aren’t going to be satisfied with the pictures and videos that it takes. All that you can’t do with this camera is shoot from very far distances. I really like it and it is nice to finally have a camera that I know I can count on.
