Canon PowerShot SD4500IS

$399.00 Released August, 2010

The Pros:Built in a compact form factor, small enough to put in a pocket. Extremely simple operation, easy enough for children. Can take 5 shots in burst mode and automatically pick the best one, or combines them in night mode to bring out the detail.

The Cons:Low light pictures tend to be soft or blurry looking. The zoom lens seems a little too delicate for casual storage in a pocket, need to be careful with it. Slow startup time and a fair amount of lag between when the button is pushed and the shutter released.

The Canon PowerShot SD4500IS is a highend compact camera aimed at the consumer market. It is packed with features such as FullHD (1080p) video recording, slow motion video capture, and a high sensitivity 10.0 mega pixel sensor.
