It functions perfectly with or without a flash.

Already had a Canon camera that I liked but wanted a smaller one for outdoor stuff like skiing. Can't really take a nice camera to the top of a mountain. This camera is TINY. Picture quality is fine. 12MP is useless as with all new cameras. Picture quality is no different than my 4MP Canon from a few years ago.
 Awesome Point & Shoot Camera... March 13, 2010

I've been a loyal Canon SD user for many years. Previously had the SD400 (until it got stolen) and SD600 (gave to my brother). Now after having the newer Canon SD940IS for a month, I feel this camera's sleek and compact style packs a lot of punch. The Black color is also stylish and a good change to the default Silver cameras I've had before.
The video quality on 720p HD is amazing and the photos are awesome to capture those special moments. I thought I would need a viewfinder on the SD940IS, but it wasn't necessary since I rarely used the viewfinder on my previous models. Battery life is fairly good, you'll probably get a good 4-5 hours if it is on constantly. I carry a spare just in case.
Only one knock is that there is no full manual mode like I had on my previous versions, but the HD video mode overshadows this feature.
Overall, I'm satisfied with this camera. Well worth the price and comfort!
Mostly good March 12, 2010

Great camera - had it about a week now, but there is definitely a fault in its construction/ease of use. The ON switch and the buttons on the back are set flush with the camera body making it very difficult to navigate with - especially in the dark.
Otherwise its an excellent camera - happy with the quality and its ability to take photos in low light without a flash.
Video quality seems excellent too.

Decent digital camera with HD video recording February 26, 2010

I got this camera just a few weeks ago and I shot a few movies in 720p and a few hundred pictures. It's the third Canon SD camera I have so I am quite used with the series. The first one died after almost 6 years, the second is still in use after 3 years.
The camera looks small even if it's the same size as the other 2 - it's because the rounded corners. The buttons are OK, the menu has a huge selection of modes, but not a manual one, the image quality is very good for a camera with lenses and sensor that small.
Recording video is easy and the quality is good, but there are 2 serious problems: 1. the length is limited not to the space on the card but to some limits Canon imposed with no evident logic behind it and 2. the video is recorded as H264 (great) in a .MOV container (very bad). Editing the video with popular tools like VirtualDub is almost impossible because of the poor choice of the container - AVI is far more popular.
One strange problem with the camera is that opening the door to the card compartment shuts down the camera even if the lens is out. I understand why to shut down (it is possible to extract the battery) but no idea why it does not retract the lens.
