I purchased this camera to replace a PowerShot SD780 IS ELPH that I have had for 3 years. The A4000 has decent reviews on other sites, so I bit. I wish I would have paid more and bought another Canon SD/ELPH.

One thing the A4000 only takes 720p video at 25fps. My old SD780 did at 30fps.

For my review, I am almost directly comparing the A4000 to my old SD780 which is 3 years old.

A4000 Pros:

1) Taking video with the steadyshot works very well.

2) Miniature effect and other modes are fun

3) Takes fast photos

4) Zoom is phenomenal. 8x optical + 4x digital.

5) View screen is large and sharp

6) Construction feels really solid

A4000 Cons:

1) Video seems choppy and heavily compressed (blocky) compared to the SD780

2) 720p is only at 25fps when most other models are 30fps

3) Photos don't seem as sharp as the SD780

4) Sound recording quality isn't as clear as the SD780
