Product Description

Color Name: Olive Gray

From the Manufacturer

A joy to use and a joy to posses, the Canon PowerShot SD40 digital camera takes its design cues directly from its predecessor, the SD 30. This new SD40 Digital Elph is compact and luxurious, and is available in Precious Rose, Twilight Sepia, Noble Blue, and Olive Grey color schemes.

7.1 Million Pixels
The PowerShot SD40 features a 7.1-million-pixel CCD sensor. This high-resolution imager ensures every picture will have excellent detail, even when printed large or cropped.

DIGIC III Image Processor
Takes the performance and speed of DIGIC II to even higher levels of processing power including new face-detection function, up to 1600 speed ISO, high-ISO noise reduction, lower power consumption, increased speed for SD media cards, and higher resolution image processing for enhanced LCD viewing.

Face-Priority AF/AE
Intelligent Face-Priority AF mode reliably detects faces and focuses on them. It detects three faces when shooting in standby, and up to nine when shutter button is pressed halfway. When faces are detected the exposure is also biased for proper facial illumination while maintaining overall scene brightness.

3:2 Guide and Widescreen Mode
Helpful 3:2 guide masks the LCD screen to reveal the printable area of a standard 4 x 6-inch print. Also, capture still images in a 16:9 aspect ratio to view on widescreen computer monitors and televisions.

Camera Station
Bundled with the SD40, the Camera Station enables several useful functions including battery charging, image downloading to PC, printing, and viewing on a television. The bundle even comes with a wireless remote controller for viewing pictures on a television set.

My Category
Improves playback experience by allowing user to put images into seven categories: People, Scenery, Events, Category 1-3, or To Do. With My Category deleting and protecting images has never been easier.

Direct Printing
Features Direct Print button and exclusive printing menu for simplified printing with any PictBridge-enabled printer.

5.0 out of 5 stars So much more than just a digital camera., January 14, 2007

By	Nicole D. Cook "Quickwe" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just got this camera for Christmas. I hate reading directions, so I popped the battery and memory card in and I was off! Very user friendly, and has all the right options. Plus, its about the size of the average cell phone. The coolest thing about the powershot is that it knows which way you're holding the camera, so if you hold it vertical to get a tall shot, the viewer turns all by itself. I also love that you can edit video on the camera and set up slide shows. Its very easy to load pics onto my computer with the USB connection - or to set up a slide show for the TV. It even holds voice memos and has cute sound effects when I take pictures. This is really a great camera.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, November 15, 2007

By	Nicole Santa Maria "hamstercheeks" (Cambridge, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

PROS: Small; user friendly; takes excellent outdoor pictures.

CONS: Limited zoom; flash in low light conditions washes out colors.

The Canon SD40 is small, sleek, and takes excellent pictures when it's sunny out. I'm especially pleased with the super-simple slider that lets me switch between picture-taking, video-capturing, and viewing modes. This camera is a winner!

By	Maria Mejia "Pitahia" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really enjoy this small, high quality camara. I purchased a 2.0 GB memory disk so I could take advantage of the 7.1 mega pixel.And I get great pix everytime. I have lots of fun with it. Since its so small, it's easy to take everywhere with me. I also get lots of compliments on it's "Fashionable" sleek design. I highly recomend his camera.
