Canon PowerShot S400 / IXUS 400 Digital Camera

Pros: 4.0 megapixels, Ease of use, detailed documentation, picture quality
Cons: Must charge battery before first use, price is high, picky on off button

This review is one of my first. I've never owned a digital camera. I chose the S400 because I could, if I chose to, go down to the store and have some nice, high quality 8x10s printed, and the reviews here were good. When you open the box, one of the ...

Pros: Small, Fantastic Pictures, Bright LCD, Easy to use!
Cons: Preliminary setup was a little tough, but very few cons!

We have the most photographed infant on earth, and we LOVE this camera. We take pictures mostly in our house, but we take a lot of shots outdoors also. The picture quality is outstanding and the camera is extremely easy to use. It is very convenient--f ...

Pros: Costco's add ons (extra batterie and leather case); UNCONDITIONAL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE WITHOUT TIME CONSTRAINT
Cons: None yet.

I bought this camera for my wife's birthday last month. I went to several outlets looking for a deal after deciding this was the model I wanted. What I found out is that Canon closely regulates the price it allows dealer's to charge (much like Weber BBQ ...

Pros: COMPACT, EASY TO USE, EXCELLENT PICTURES
Cons: Flash a little too bright sometimes, small buttons, excessive lag with taking photo!

This camera has been reviewed thoroughly by other members who know a lot more about cameras than me (which isn't saying a whole lot). This is my second digital camera. The first was a polaroid model that came out really early so for me, it's like ...

Pros: Compact, rugged, high-quality images
Cons: No RAW mode

I've spent three years reading about digital camera and waiting to make the switch from film. I finally settled on the Powershot S400 (known as the IXY 400 in Japan) as my point and shoot camera.

In a word, it's fantastic. The camera is the...

Pros: Great overall design, tiny size
Cons: Price

I shoot mostly film but I like this little digital camera. It does everything a point and shoot digital camera should do and more. For me, a point and shoot camera should be small and light so that it can conveniently go with me everywhere. That's the ...

Pros: Size, Durability, Color replication is superb for price, few relics, MPEG movies great, 3x optical
Cons: Overpriced, poor flash, some flatness in pictures, uncomfortable at times to hold while shooting

Basically, I'm simply going to list what other people on here need 17 paragraphs to write out: Ni ...

Pros: Compact and small, perfect to carry around in a pocket, great pictures,
Cons: Slow autofocus (a little noisy too), a bit pricey, so-so battery life

The first thing that attracted me was the compact design and the 4.0 megapixel feature. Although it ...

Pros: Small, solid, well designed, 4mp, 3x zoom, excellent low-light, great pictures!
Cons: Multi-Segment AF not so great, but center focus is fine.

I was leaning toward the Nikon SQ until I saw some test shots from it - LOTS of noise. The Canon S4 ...

Pros: small and lightweight takes good pictures in right conditions
Cons: very poor reliability horrible customer service unreliable autofocus high price

Recently I was looking for a camera to take travelling. In the past I have used a large 35mm camera ...

Pros: Small Light 4.0 MP Prints Great Pictures Good Red Eye reduction 3X Zoom
Cons: Low Video Resolution No Manual Features Weak Battery

Wow, I have to say I love this camera. I've spent alot of time researching cameras and I have alot t ...

Pros: Very portable & durable, excellent image quality
Cons: Bit expensive

I've own S400 for three months now and have to say that I'm still very much in love with it :-) ...

Pros: Small and easy to carry. Durable, and it makes anyone a good photographer.
Cons: It is expensive. The video could be 640 instead of 320.

I am not a professional photographer but I have people ask me if I am and then tell me I should be when they see the photos I have taken with this camera. I read the reviews on this and the S45 and debated whether to go for more manual settings or ...

Pros: excellent quality, small, easy to use, light.
Cons: red eye protection is only fair, no date/time stamp option

The S400 is a great camera and since they came out with the S410 it's priced right too. I got mine for 318 on amazon. I love this camera and so did CU in this month's review. Great reviews, 4MP and the small size (1x2x3) were my top reasons for buying, ...

Pros: When working, great, clear, bright, colorful pics, easy to use, compactness
Cons: Canon's lack of customer support for mass/common product errors.

DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA for your own peace of mind. A great camera when it works, great pics, easy to use, just wonderful, BUT there is a HIGH probability it will fail and Canon shows no respect for its consumers and they ignore problems with its products ...
