Summary: Not worth
Review: I have a Sony DCR-PC120 NTSC Digital Camcorder, which comes
with 1.5 MEGA pixels digital still picture capability. It's
pretty handy and it produces very good picture quality.Today I bought a Canon PowerShot S400. I thought its 4.0
MEGA pixels capability would blow away Sony's 1.5 MEGA pixels.
I used them to take some pictures with the same objects, from
the same angle with same light source. The result is very
disappointed: PowerShot S400's picture quality nowhere can
compare with Sony's 1.5 MEGA pixels. The pictures from Sony
is much much clearer. Why bother to get a 4.0 MEGA pixels digital camera?? I'm
going to return it tomorrow.

Summary: nice camera
Review: If you are amateur and want to spend less than 500 dollars for an almost pro digital camera that you can carry everywhere this is a good choice for an investment for the next 2 years. Visibly smaller than previous S200 and S300 models, this small cam is a traveller's delight. Works with the same battery, memory card, and soft case as previous models. I sold my S300 model that I bought in 2001, added $100 and bought this S400. I am not sorry. I am gonna do the same move 2 years from now on. It is definitely an improvment in image quality and size and in movie quality. Of course it is not perfect, but it performs well for its size. I definitely recommend it. If they would sell it for around 350-400, I think it would be a huge hit on the market. For people who want to be pro and still go small size I recommend S50 model, which is a little larger thou. Enjoy your new cam and travel light!

Summary: Do You Need to Go HIgher? No.
Review: I bought this camera and I have not looked back since. I had the Canon PS S330. I enjoyed every moment with it. When I first learned of the new S400, I had to have it. This little powerhouse has really lived up to the reviews that I have read online. One of the best features is the ease to making great pictures. For a beginner like myself, the only real next step is to go Digital SLR - which to be honest would take a lot of saving on my part. They are very pricey. Good luck and enjoy your new purchase. - I do reccommend an extra battery, and at least a 128mb CF card. Preferably a 256mb.

Summary: Best little camera available
Review: I did months of research before buying the S400. I purchased it primarily because of its size and the fact that we own a Canon IXUS already and it is a very good camera. We took the digital camera on a recent trip to Russia and the Czech Republic and took over 1000 pictures with it. It performed flawlessly and actually took some pictures better than the Nikon 808 we had with us. This is the first digital camera I have owned and it was well worth the wait. I highly recommend it to anyone considering a digital camera.

Summary: Great Camera
Review: This is the perfect camera for what I wanted. It is small enough to fit in my pocket, and it takes excellent pictures. I've had it for a month now, no big complaints. Occasionally i get a few blurry pictures, but that is mostly just user error. You just have to get used to the camera. Buy a large cf card, i got a 512mb which works great. Enjoy!

Summary: Excellent Little Camera
Review: I am very impressed with the features, easy of use, cost, quality, and size of this camera. I have been waiting for digital cameras to get good enough and cheap enough to replace my film camera. I have found it in the Cannon S400. The wife loves it, we hardly ever took our regular camera with us anywhere, but this little thing takes wonderfully clear pictures and it fits in your pocket. Same size as a pack of cigarettes, just a little thicker. You will definitely want a 128MB memory card- mine holds about 78 pics at highest quality. Only two complaints- it doesn't come with a case, and it uses special Cannon batteries - which are a little on the expensive side. Goodnews it only takes 130 minutes for a full recharge. would definitely buy again. Best on the market for the price..

Summary: Point and shoot? HAH!
Review: Many people say this is a "point and shoot" camera, and that's fine. They do, however, neglect to tell you that, especially for the tiniest 4.0 MP camera, this tiny camera has plenty of manual features to keep you happy with it once you've graduated from point and shoot-dom. The shutter, while not fully adjustable to be left open for any amount of time, can be kept open for up to 15 seconds and with an adjustable ISO up to 400 I've taken shots of stars I can't even see. It even lowers the noise on shots longer than 1.3 seconds. The aperture is the only qualm I have about the camera, as it's not adjustable as the editorial review said, yet I'm sure Canon will offer that in a firmware upgrade eventually. With custom white balances and special color modes rounding out this little giant, how could anyone go wrong? This is my first digital camera and it could possibly be my last!

Summary: elegance and portability!
Review: After buying this little gem, I've left my Nikon and Rollei at home. Arguably, there are other cameras out there with higher resolutions and extensive manual controls but NONE of them can beat this elegant 4-megapixel little pocket camera in terms of ease of use and picture quality. Especially if you've got kids! You want to catch those "Kodak Moments" but you won't if your fiddling around with a camera that's too big to lug around and too complicated to operate. This Canon S400 is the ultimate family "point and shoot."

Summary: Great camera
Review: I recently purchased this camera from Amazon.com and I am very impressed. This is my very first camera that I've owned so I'm still reading the manual but so far it has worked very well. The photo quality is amazing. The only thing that I think could be better is the battery life. I charge mine about once a day but it charges completely in only 2 hours. I have been very pleased.
