Canon pulls off a hat trick here by offering a ‘fun’ picture-taking experience, good-quality images nearly every time and a stylish design that almost makes the Ixus 40 a fashion accessory. But overall, the complete package is not quite up to the best of its rivals, particularly the equally good-looking Casio Exilims.
Also consider: Fuji FinePix E550
