There's a big change in quality between ISO 200 and ISO 400. While there's low color noise, the suppression softens things up, making things appear fuzzier.

Occasionally, the SD960 would struggle on complex scenes, giving subjects a more processed look than it did with less-demanding compositions.

Along with being a 28mm wide-angle, the SD960's lens is fast, at f/2.8.

Canon sure knows how to get great colors, and the ones produced by the SD960 are excellent.
