PowerShot Fun
The announcement of the SD4000 is pretty significant to the PowerShot line. It definitely tells us what else is coming down the pipe.
It uses a 10mp backlit CMOS sensor. This will apparently greatly improve high ISO performance.
I was told the sensor was made by Canon, I'm just trying to confirm it through other sources.
I had a chance to play with one for a few minutes today at the Canon booth.
The camera I shot these with was NOT a final production model.
These are High ISO sample images. Click for the full resolution images.
They aren't pulitzer shots, but it should give you an idea what this little camera is capable of.
The shots were shot at 7.5mp and not the full 10mp. I only had about 20 seconds with the camera.
More to come later.

Would I be right in assuming the picture of the camera was shot with another Canon? Looks orange to me! I really don’t care about any more pixels, just sort out every Canon D-SLRs inability to shoot red…please.
If the improvement on such a small sensor is only a stop or so, will the improvement on a much bigger APC-s size sensor be worthwhile or even noticable? I do hope so though i expect the answer is No.
In wish land I also hope its the next 60D sensor, and maybe if the back lit sensor is better with smaller pixel sites, then the 60D will have say 24MPixels, but with pixel bining for smaller files if needed and inbuilt sensor zoom as a feature for lower Mega pixel resolutions.
Deleting such constructive posts is bad webiquette, driving people away from a web site.
is that red? look like orange to me :)
I know right.
