LCD cracks easily!
I had my camera for 3 months and took very good care of it, however, when I took it out to take pictures, the LCD screen had cracked for no reason. This problem occurs VERY often! DO NOT BUY AMAZING I've had this camera for over 4 Years now. I've taken thousands of pictures and hundreds of videos on vacations, and at college. I have not had a single problem. The battery still lasts me well over a day, even using it constantly. If the battery does get low you just turn off the screen. It has digital macro, which is amazing at close up pictures. You can take night pictures in almost pitch black with the manual settings. Hands down, if your looking for a great camera thats affordable and will last you, you cant go wrong with this. Sure you can get the 5mp or 7.1mp versions, but who actually needs that many megapixles? You wont be disappointed by this camera. Great Camera if it doesn't stop working... I, too, have had issues with the Canon SD400. Out of the blue, it stopped working about a year and a half after purchase. We are big Canon fans - this is our 3rd digital Elph and we have the digital Rebel XT (and Canon lenses). We also have used Canon film cameras in the past. When it stopped working, I typed SD400 not working and was amazed at the number of webpages and upset consumers. Usually you have to search a lot harder to find a problem. For us, we charged it on the American Express which doubles our warranty - so we will get a refund but after talking to Canon support - if we didn't have that option - we would be out of luck. I was highly disappointed (although not surprised after looking through some reputable webpages) with their indifference to the problem and lack of customer service. If you purchase this camera, I would highly recommend using a charge card that doubles your warranty, and have back-up in case it fails at an important occasion. SD card locked Used the camera for a while, but now it displays "memory card locked" ...about to throw this brick of a camera against the wall Fine if you don't need more than a gig of space... This camera would easily earn 5 stars except for the fact that it is incompatible with certain SD memory cards. I bought a 4GB high speed card that works great in my cheap Nikon, but this camera informs me that there is a "memory card error" and that the card is locked. I called support, and the man informed me that my card had not been tested with the camera. When I asked for a list of cards that had been tested, he told me to check Google! If you don't need as much capacity, I had great luck with this camera and a high speed 1 Gig card. Be warned of 'incompatibility' issues and incompetent support. | |
