As well as being compared against other ultra compacts, the Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS is also often compared to super zooms, travel zooms and compacts. The Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS's top rivals come from Canon (such as the PowerShot SX510 HS and the PowerShot ELPH 160) and Panasonic (such as the Lumix DMC-ZS6 and the Lumix DMC-FX500)
