Review on 📷 Black Canon PowerShot SD4000IS 10 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 3.8x Optical Zoom and f/2.0 Lens: Improved SEO-friendly Version by Vedavyas Fleming

I bought one of these because I needed a used camera with f2.0 lens and HD video at a great price. Image quality is pretty good, but sharpness definitely lags behind CCD cameras and the newer BSI-CMOS PowerShots. This is the very first Canon camera to use such an image sensor and the only one that doesn't support 1080p HD video. Can't really fault Canon for not getting the image quality right the first time. Speaking of video, the resolution is 720p and the recording speed is 30 frames per second, which is also present on most Canon cameras with a CCD sensor. Like the SX-series cameras of the time, this camera has stereo sound and allows autofocus and optical zoom when recording video, which other SD-series cameras with CCD image sensors of the time could not. However, autofocus is slow indoors and in low light. The on and off times are very fast, faster than other compact cameras I own. I haven't tested the burst but wouldn't be surprised if it can match the burst speed of the Canon PowerShot SX 230 HS that I own. Where this camera really excels is in low light, even without a tripod. In wide-angle mode, the widest aperture is f2.0, giving it a one-stop advantage over a traditional compact camera. This means you either lower the ISO and you end up with a more detailed image with less noise. Or you can double the shutter speed to halve the chance of blurry images due to camera shake. Wide-angle camera shake in low light is rare due to the camera's image stabilization on top of the f2.0 aperture. A side effect of the f2.0 aperture at wide-angle is shallower depth of field, which means a blurrier background. It won't compete with the shallow depth of field effects possible with a DSLR, but it's noticeable when photos are taken with a wide-angle lens at a maximum aperture of f2.0, even in situations where the background is sharper with typical compact cameras would be maximum. Membrane. Another thing that sets this camera apart from most other compact cameras is the inclusion of shutter priority and aperture priority that you usually see on higher-end cameras. However, unlike high-end cameras, this one doesn't have a full manual mode. Overall, this is a decent camera if you're on a budget and still want some really good low-light shots. However, I wouldn't recommend it as the main camera as there are many other models that offer better image quality. Still a great camera to use as a second camera in 2017 for those handheld low-light shots that many other cameras struggle with. A new camera can cost anywhere from $300 to $350, but often sells for less than the $100 it was using at the time of this review.
