Pros: Fast, ultra compact, user friendly, very good image quality, tough stainless steel body
Cons: Mediocre battery life, weak flash, red-eye problems, chromatic aberration, and noisy ISO 400 images
Summary: Canon has dominated the ultra compact digicam market since the first Digital Elphs hit camera store shelves and the new Canon Powershot SD400 demonstrates why that trend isn't likely to change anytime soon. The SD400 provides users with 5-megapixel ... read more

Pros: Tiny! Long battery life
Cons: Has trouble capturing pictures of targets in motion
Summary: The Canon Digital ELPH SD400 is simply one of the best tiny cameras available. My family and I have been buying ELPH's from Canon since they were still offered in APS film versions. The key selling point about this camera is it's size and Canon keeps ... read more

Pros: Small size, big pictures!
Lots of tweaks and options
Cons: Mediocre battery life
Summary: I'm not a professional photographer. I don't know all the technical sounding terms that photographers use. I do, however, like to have a good camera. I invested in a high quality SLR 35mm camera years ago, but didn't make the switch over to digital until ... read more

Pros: Small size, excellent picture/video quality, inexpensive, easy to use at any skill level.
Cons: None
Summary: The Canon PowerShot SD400 is PERFECT for your primary-use digital camera. The size is about that of a deck of standard playing-cards, which is important, because what good is a digital camera if it's so bulky or so expensive that you always leave it at ... read more

Pros: Durable, good looks, easy to use.
Cons: Weak flash, low battery life, poor video quality.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: great size, good quality
Cons: poor battery indicator
Summary: I have a larger digital SLR camera, so I was looking for a smaller digital camera to take with me when I don’t want to have the hassle of lugging a big camera around. Then I found the Canon Powershot SD400. It was one of the smaller cameras around when ... read more

Pros: Tiny size, crisp quality photos, fast shooting, EASY to use, tough and durable, super-cool looking
Cons: Port covers feel flimsy (although they haven't broken), movie sound is low quality.
Summary: Can you expect to see the tiny little hairs on a tomato plant stem when you spend less than $300 on a camera? YES! Can you get a perfect image of 22 football players scrambling across a field in poor lighting conditions? YES! Can you do ... read more

Pros: Size. Price vs. performance is EXCELLENT, compared to SD300, SD450, SD500, and SD550.
Cons: Almost every Powershot model has different controls on the back - CONSTANT RELEARNING :(
Summary: This camera is the 5th that I have owned in the PowerShot series. This model is small, slender, and chic, without giving up any performance. The SD400 is much improved over the 'S' series (ie. S410) in that it does not take NEARLY as long ... read more

Pros: So easy to use from taking photos to loading them to my computer!
Cons: The battery-life is not the greatest and the red-eye reduction doesn’t work very well
Summary: Let me start by saying, I am not a photographer. I am an average user and as far as electronics go I am the same level – enough knowledge to get me into trouble sometimes! The Canon Powershot SD400 Digital ELPH (5.0 mega pixels) has changed my ... read more

Pros: Excellent start up time.
Cons: Camera shake, Flash is noticiable. No battery meter. Terrible TV Video display.
Summary: I always wanted to own one of the Canon Digital Elph's, so I purchased the SD400 to replace my Sony P5. My Sony had consistently taken great pictures and even had a email copy mode to store a second low resolution picture for web posting or email. I ... read more

Pros: Very small, excellent movie mode, easy to navigate, nice photos, good size LCD
Cons: weak flash, red eye problems (as with most ultra-compact), portrait scene mode is poor
Summary: After comparing all the top ultra-compact digital cameras in the 5MP range, I decided on the PowerShot SD400 Digital Elph and have not been disappointed. I love this camera! About the closest camera by comparison was a Sony 5MP. One of the determining ... read more

Pros: Size, speed, cable to hook to TV and watch slide shows
Cons: Expensive replacement batteries, NG except daytime pictures (like all other pocket cameras)
Summary: This is my 3rd digital camera, my Nikon flash died after about 100,000 shots and it was replaced with a Cannon A75, while on a recent business trip to the south, someone must have read Epinions about how good of a camera that was so they stole it right ... read more

Pros: Small (could be smaller now though!), rugged, good movie mode, ease of use
Cons: picture quality isn't as nice as I'd like (specifically indoors), some challenges in macro mode
Summary: I studied camera reviews for months before deciding what to buy (came down to the DSC-P200 & SD400...thought a couple other manufacturers were coming out with smaller/possibly better photograph quality models about the time I decided). In the end, I ... read more

Pros: Easy to use, great outdoor pics, lots of options, good auto-focus
Cons: LCD screen lags at times, must press too firmly to take a picture
Summary: This is a great camera. I've had an Olympus c-3040 zoom for a long time, and while it takes great outdoor pics, I've been waiting for a good small camera to carry around all the time. Checklist of what I wanted: 3x optical zoom , 5MP , CCD, something ... read more

Pros: Compact, convenient, easy, crystal clear, impressive, full of features, bargain, addictive, big screen, perfect.
Cons: If you leave it at home, you will miss it. :(
Summary: I love this camera. There is not one thing that I would change. I literally carry it everywhere I go, in a little samsonite cell phone case I bought at Target for $4. I always have it at parties and gatherings, which we otherwise would have no
