10x optical zoom in compact, easily pocketable camera, Large 3-inch LCD display, Good viewing angle on display, Display is good in sunlight, Dedicated movie shutter button, 1920 x 1080/24fps HD video recording, Optical zoom works while recording video,...
No wide-angle lens, Bright chromatic aberration at both ends of the zoom, HD video can be noisy, Smart Auto not as good in low light, Smart Auto avoids flash at times when it's necessary, Not enough external controls, Poor battery life, Somewhat slow s...
The PowerShot SD4500IS is a sleek and slender long zoom that should appeal to the casual point-and-shooter. More experienced photographers will find the lack of aperture and shutter priority disappointing, but casual users should enjoy playing around w...
Slimmer and a little lighter than most compact super-zooms, Sensible resolution means better than average low-light quality, 1080p video, slow motion at QVGA and miniature effect at 720p, Handheld Night Scene mode greatly reduces noise at high ISOs.
10x range falls short of some rivals and lacks true wide angle, Relatively poor battery life has you recharging frequently, Best quality 4:3 mode looks small on wide display, Highly compelling rivals from the likes of Panasonic and Sony.
Canon's IXUS 1000 HS / SD4500 IS is certainly a very nice compact super-zoom camera. It's smaller and a little lighter than most rivals, while also enjoying better quality in low light thanks to its modest resolution. Add 1080p video, neat slow motion...
The Canon IXUS 1000 HS is a largely successful attempt to marry the style of the IXUS range with a big zoom lens, but the 36mm not-so-wide-angle setting, poor battery life, a lack of refinement in the handling department and the high price tag detract...
Compact for a high-zoom camera, Great modes for high-speed shooting, Extremely easy to use, Creative modes that mimic tilt-shift, isolate colors, Good macro performance,
Disappointing image quality, Maximum aperture is f/3.4, No manual controls for shutter and aperture, Lens skimps on the wide-angle end (36mm), Overpowering built-in flash, Slow start-up-to-first-shot time, Poor battery life
Lackluster scores for overall image quality, poor battery life, a lack of manual settings, and a not-very-wide-angle lens drag down our rating for the Canon PowerShot SD4500 IS. That said, it's a decent option in the realm of pocket megazoom cameras i...
Abstract: I remember slavering over an early Kodak point-and-shoot camera that featured a 10x optical zoom. Wow! What a beast. And more: it could take 4 megapixel stills! That was 2003. Now it’s 2010 and the 10x zoom is appearing on more and more digicams. Cano...
The SD4500 delivers good low light performance and quality 1080 HD videos. However, some ergonomic issues and a narrower wide angle focal length disappoint.

is this: The SD4500 IS had the second-lowest image-quality score among all pocket megazoom cameras we've tested in 2010, outscoring the sub-$200 Fujifilm FinePix JZ500 by just a single point. In my hands-on tests, image quality was much less of a down...
