hy does a camera have to be thin? It doesn't, but if you like the idea of having a real camera in your pocket instead of just a phone that takes fuzzy snapshots, size becomes an issue and it's certainly more comfortable to carry something small, light and slender instead of a little brick...

This is one of the smallest ultra-compact digital cameras available. Image softness is above average even for its size, but noise is similar to other ultra-compact cameras. Otherwise, colors are fairly accurate and it captures a good amount of detail...

As with the 7.2-megapixel PowerShot SD550 Digital Elph, our current Editors Choice in the high-end ultracompact category, theres a lot to like about the 5MP PowerShot SD450 Digital Elph ($399.95 list). In fact, both have many of the same features...
  • Quick performance and excellent image quality. Unique "My Color" feature. Sleek and very portable.
  • A little tricky to operate with larger hands. Menus could be improved. No manual settings.
  • The 5MP Canon PowerShot SD450 Digital Elph takes mighty fine shots for a mighty small camera, but it might be a little undersized for those with big paws...

Announced in August 2005, the SD450 (which goes by the name of Digital IXUS 55 in Europe) is the latest in a long line of ultra-compact ELPH or IXUS cameras stretching back to early 2000 (and a lot farther back than that in the film camera world)...
