Once again, Canon brings in another in its surprisingly powerful line of cameras with the Canon SD1400, but for all the power the camera possesses, it’s pretty weak as a deal.  Read on.

The Canon SD1400 is a fourteen megapixel camera with a 4x optical zoom (and a matching 4x digital zoom), a 2.7 inch LCD display, DIGIC 4 image processor, optical image stabilizer, image stabilizer, a variety of shooting modes, a “smart auto” mode that will, essentially, analyze your environment and determine the proper settings from there, through-the-lens autofocus, a burst shooting mode for action shots, white balance controls and photo effects, a built-in auto flash, direct printing and support for a variety of memory cards including Secure Digital and MultiMediaCard formats.

The interesting thing about the Canon SD1400 is that it packs all of this into a shockingly small package.  This little fella is NOT very cumbersome at all, but it’s offering terrific resolution, a longer range than normal AND a variety of tools in one package.  I’m dismayed, however, by the lack of onboard memory on this which forces you to use a memory card, and doubly so at the price they’re asking.  Two hundred and fifty bucks for this thing at Best Buy and they can’t include at least a few megs of onboard memory?  They could at LEAST include a memory card with it, for crying out loud.

But still, the Canon SD1400 is not a bad camera, even if it isn’t exactly bargain hunter friendly.
