Canon SD400 Ixus 300HS Digital camera Review

The SD400-Ixus 300HS from Canon is equipped with very unique features that have made a debut in the camera industry. Canon has also developed an ELPH or Electronic Physics for the first time for this model, which can be a very good reason to make a shift.
There will be no problem if you’ll be taking pictures in with low lit areas for it has a back-illuminated complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor or CMOS sensor. There’s also the burst photo mode and the extremely slow motion movie mode that adds up to the excitement.



The Canon HS System

The Canon SD400-Ixus 300HS is a 10 megapixel camera with a CMOS sensor. Along with it is an image processor called the DIGIC 4. These both comprise the HS System of Canon. The HS System is the solution that Canon has for lowlight situations. The images turn out to be very satisfying and the adverse effects are avoided, such as blurry problems. Whether you utilize ISO speeds that are high or low in a lowlight scenario, the pictures will still look great.

Just like what I’ve said this HS System by Canon is the collaboration of 2 great features, namely 10 megapixel CMOS sensor and the DIGIC 4. The CMOS sensor sort of traps light in order to get the best possible image quality. This means that the images will be clearer if the sensor will be able to attract a bigger amount of light. The DIGIC 4, on the other hand, has the purpose of minimizing the noise on the images.


The Electronic Physics or the ELPH

The Canon SD400-Ixus 300 HS that is equipped with ELPH is the first to offer manual controls. It can be compared to PowerShot SD90 and can be a very close competitor. In addition, the design and concept of the SD400 was based on the backlit CMOS sensor of Sony, which has been very evident in almost all cameras that were launched this season of spring. The SD400 is known as the Ixus 300HS in Europe because its speed is amazingly fast when it comes to video recording as well as in capturing images.


The Aperture Priority Mode and the Shutter Priority Mode

The factors that most photographers and hobbyists are looking for are the controllable speed of the aperture and the shutter modes. When you place the SD400 camera to aperture mode, it will already choose the shutter speed that will best work in every scenario. And as for the shutter priority mode, when you pick out a shutter speed, the camera is left with the task of choosing the right aperture.
