Cons: Weak flash, Redeye problems, no scene modes, off-set tripod mount

Canon’s very popular Digital Elph microcams have completely dominated the ultra compact digicam market for almost five years, although Minolta and Sony have been trying to muscle in. The newest Digital Elph, the Powershot S410 (which replaces the ...

Pros: Sturdy construction, good performance, useful features, easy to use basic features
Cons: LCD visibility, menus could be more intuitive, quirky controls

I have borrowed the C anon PowerShot S410 from a friend for the purpose of writing this review. You can see the photo of the camera itself on my profile page. The sample photo ...

Pros: 4 MegaPixel, 3x Optical Zoom, new Print/Share button, Easy Menu System, Solid Construction
Cons: Manual Settings Limited, Weak Flash, Average Battery Life, Competition has Caught Up!

Go figure... in the past year that I bought my first S400 (which I had to give as a gift since the second S400 I ordered didn't arrive on time!), I've had to buy a second S400 because of the reason described above. Strangely enough, I had purchased an ...

Pros: Size, size, size, battery life, color quality, startup time, size, histogram.
Cons: Wish it could save pictures in RAW format.

My Epinions Philosophy When I make a purchase, epinions is one of my most valuable resources for non-biased experiences and information. When I come here to research a product I read all of the reviews and the product specifications and details ...

Pros: Small, strong, It's a Canon.
Cons: Not the fastest camera to start up

I needed a camera for my first trip to Europe. Yeah, I've got the Canon A1 professional style SLR but that thing weighs a ton and takes up all this space. I gots ta travel light-- so I can do the quintessential "Backpack Through Europe" the right way. ...

Pros: simple, good manual features, beautiful design.
Cons: wish it had 640 by 480 video (s500 and sd300 have that).

I think other reviews covered most of the specs related stuff, so I'm going to make my review simple. This is a great point and shoot camera. If you are expecting professional level stuff for this price and for this level, you're not being fair. ...

Pros: Small, lots of features, solid metal frame, nice video features
Cons: heavy considering its small size, long time to load and take pictures

Overall, I have been very satisfied with my Powershot s410. I got it for a college digital photography workshop, and with 4 megapixels it made some great photos. I even printed them out, and the detail quality was amazing. For me, this camera has ...

Pros: Battery life, Movie Mode, PnP on Windows or Mac, USB picture transfers
Cons: Startup time, Fast CF card for optimum use, Movie Mode (slow frame rate)

I've had this camera for about a year now. No problems. I've been happy with the performance, battery life and picture quality for the price. I bought this camera because I previously owned the S100. It was the first model of this line of cameras. I ...

Pros: Great pictures, zoom works great.
Cons: Small memory card.

Purchased mainly for taking pictures for my wife’s jewelry website, and have been very pleased with the results. We needed a camera that would take good detailed pictures of necklaces and we got exactly what we wanted. It does a great job of capturing ...

Pros: compact, quality, flash range
Cons: not enough manual options, short battery life, small LCD

I'm naming this "The Little Camera That Could" because it far exceeded my expectations of what a digital camera could pull off. I was a fan of my 35mm SLR and didn't think digital could compare until I went on vacation with someone who owned one of these ...

Pros: Great pictures, 4 megapixels, small size, movie with sound, external charger.
Cons: Included CF card too small.

This is a great point-and-shoot 4 megapixel camera currently produced. As with all Canon PowerShot S series cameras, the S410 is very easy to use. Since the specs are easily accessible (click on ...

Pros: Excellent picture quality, size, battery life, CF memory.
Cons: Camera tends to get warm if shooting a lot, other than that, none.

I've recently decided to take up photography as a hobby because I needed one! I've read countless reviews on certain cameras, from Nikon to Olympus to Fuji, and Canon. I had a Canon ELPH film camera, and it was nice. I really liked how small it was. So I ...

Pros: Size, overall build quality, good-to-excellent photo quality
Cons: No battery indicator, no quick last image preview, flimsy plastic covers

In spring of '04, I decided to switch from a Sony DSC-F707 camera to an ultra-compact model, which I could carry in a pocket. I am not an advanced photographer, so I needed something simple which would produce decent photos. At that time, my choice fell ...

Pros: Very good quality photos in a small package.
Cons: NO BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR--also a bit complicated to use.

I am not a camera afficianado. I need a small, easy to carry point and shoot that doesn't require changing a lot of settings and takes decent photos in most settings. I purchased this camera, and the Casio elixim ex-z40, after being ...

Pros: Seems rugged
Cons: Poor AUTO made, no battery level indicator

I spent a lot of time online, researching compact digital cameras and narrowed my choice down to the Nikon Coolpix 3700 and the Canon S410. I went with the Canon because the reviews consistently said the image quality was excellent (not all reviews of ...
