Index of Canon PowerShot SD940IS Expert Reviews
- GoodGearGuide—“Our high contrast photos also stood up well, with purple fringing kept to a minimum. As with any compact camera, noise became prevalent at high ISO levels, with noticeable grain entering the picture at ISO 800 and above. Despite being billed as ‘wide angle’, the Powershot SD940 IS / IXUS 120 IS’s 5mm lens isn’t particularly suited to sprawling panoramas.”
- Cameras.uk—“I have few complaints about the Canon IXUS 120 IS. It does a very good job and has a touch of extra class about it. It looks good, takes a good snapshot and handles well. I like the design and would be happy to own one. Recommended.”
- CNET—“The Canon PowerShot SD940 IS is a fun camera to use. The combination of its incredibly small, simple, attractive design, ease of use, and generally fantastic photos makes it a fairly irresistible ultracompact. Performance could be better and the amount of purple fringing in my test shots bugs me, but neither are real deal breakers for me in this class of camera.”
- DigitalCameraReview—“The SD940 IS is a pleasure to use. It has excellent build quality and is very quick and responsive. Its small size makes it convenient to carry everywhere you go, so you’re always ready to take advantage of an available photo opportunity.”
- Computer Active—“Image quality from this camera were not the best we have ever seen however they were detailed and rendered very natural colors. Noise was not an issue until as suspected we jacked ISO to its highest range for low light shooting.”
- PhotographyBlog—“Left on default settings colors are naturalistic, exposures are even, and with blue skies and plenty of early autumn sunshine around we were able to achieve some pleasing results without having to dive into the ‘My colors’ effects settings for added warmth or visual oomph.”
- TechRadar—“Using the Canon Digital IXUS 120 IS is a positive experience even before you’ve turned it on. And once you do, its Canon heritage delivers broadly impressive results without ever really bowling us over. It doesn’t do anything that rival cameras can’t – and other Canon compacts too, for that matter – but it beats all comers when it comes to looks.”

I just received my Powershot SD940. Originally I had purchased the Powershot SD780, but when this one came out two days later I returned it. I liked the bigger LCD on the 940 rather than the 780’s smaller LCD with an optical viewfinder. The 940 also has a 4x optical zoom compared to the 780’s 3x optical zoom. Something else I had not noticed until I received the product is that the 940 has an updated menu system. The menus are laid out more logically and can display help menus to inform the user of the cameras functions and options. This feature is not offered on the 780. After owning both cameras, I would recommend upgrading to the Powershot SD940 unless you need an optical viewfinder. The 940 offers better zoom, bigger LCD, updated menus, and stronger performance (I found that the menus operate more smoothly and with much less lag than the 780). These are both great cameras, and I should note that the 780 is a bit smaller and lighter. Unfortunately they both have rather flat buttons that are not raised above the surface which made it a bit hard to operate at first, but I quickly got used to it. I still STRONGLY recommended!
