Cons: Weak flash, low battery life, poor video quality.
The Bottom Line: This camera is for people looking to capture simple photographs with no additional artistic qualities. It is best used to capture simple subjects and long videos.
kahlerp's Full Review: Canon PowerShot SD400 / IXUS 50 Digital Camera
Sick of buying expensive electronics that break down easily, this camera was bought with the promise of lasting a lifetime. It has lasted 4 years and still is a reliable camera.
Sleek looking, durable, and with a simple display, I would recommend this camera for those in the middle ages that need simple technology. The display screen offers many options (black and white, sepia, colored hues) and also allows videos to be taken and timers to be set. The camera can hold many photographs and record videos of all lengths. Unlike many of the newer cameras aimed at the younger generation, the hues and colors this camera captures are natural and simple.
Although the picture taking quality is superior, the video quality is not. The captured videos are hard to understand because the sound often comes of scratchy and echoes loudly. Also, the camera doesn't zoom in as far as some would like, and the visions becomes blurry when it is too 'up close.'
This camera is perfect for someone looking to capture simple photos. It offers many artistic options, but the quality is best when the photo is of a simple subject, with regular coloring. Those looking to capture a more artistic photograph or looking to record many videos, I would suggest investing in a newer camera.
