Imaging Resource has reviewed the 7.2 megapixel Canon PowerShot SD40 and writes – “As much as I love the style and ease-of-use of the Canon PowerShot SD40, image issues with this Digital ELPH, especially in low-light, make it difficult to recommend. While there’s no questioning that the SD40 — which comes in four cool new colors — is still one of the snazziest compact models on the market, I was expecting a lot better image quality. Other Digital ELPHs from Canon I’ve tested out recently have been able to produce images with very acceptable noise levels even when shooting as high as ISO 1,600. With the SD40, however, many of the shots I took above ISO 400 were riddled with chroma noise in shadow areas, while skin tones came out blotchy and mottled looking. The weak flash wasn’t much help either when shooting in low light.”
