Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS Review Discussion

[Andy Stanton]

As I unboxed the Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS I asked myself, "Didn't I just review this camera?" This past October, I critiqued the Canon SD940 IS, an ultra-compact camera with some fun features. Apparently Canon decided it was time for an update, though aside from a resolution increase from 12 to 14 megapixels, I was hard pressed to find major differences between them. That's not necessarily a bad thing, considering the high quality of the previous version. However, one welcome change is that the SD1400 IS has a lower introductory list price, $249.99.

Pardon a dumb question: But how izzit that the shot-to-shot time is 2 seconds plus when the AF Acquisition (press-to-capture, no pre-focus) time is under 1/2 second?

The camera must be writing to the memory card.

Of course I knew the write time is key in burst and continuous performance. But am surprised it's a big factor between single shots. Never really use continuous mode myself. Though one time, when I thought I had set my A200 to Bracket, I had actually set it to Continuous. First couple of frames were quick, by the time the camera got to the 4th frame there was a big delay. Interesting outcome, the exposures for the set of frames were not precisely the same. So it was an educational experiment, even if an accident.
