Conclusion
|
The Canon PowerShot A4000 IS is a typical A-series compact—it's a user-friendly entry-level point-and-shoot that takes decent pictures in good light at wide-angle settings. However, some Canon Ixus compacts out-perform both its optics and its electronics while also selling at a lower price (the Ixus 115 HS for example)! |
The Canon Ixus 220 HS is a nice surprise. It takes good-quality pictures, it's very well made and it's user-friendly. You'd be hard pushed to find anything better in the same price range. |

Cons
|
- TN screen: poor viewing angles, crazy colours and contrast - Video mode: video noise, contrast, mono sound, digital zoom - Lens quality isn't consistent at wide-angle settings, lacks sharpness at telephoto - Limited sensitivity (use 800 ISO if you really must but avoid 1600 ISO) |
- Picture quality not quite as good in telephoto - Slower to switch on than previous models - Low-definition screen - Sound isn't particularly accurate |
