Would buy again in heartbeat!
I bought this camera 8 months ago and still love it. I take so many more pictures now than I did with my horrible Sony Cybershot. I will never buy a Sony again. I recommend this camera to everyone I know. I cant wait for it to break so I can buy the newer model with more MP! Buy this camera and you wont regret it!
Super Fast, Super Small, Super Good
It's a tiny camera, honestly its like the size of the new sony ericsson phones & the photo quality is commendable. Speedy response times, but that I cannot confirm for 'every' camera cause I actually did get a very speed card to go with it which kinda adds a boost to the speed. Video recording is only limited by the size of the card & it has got a respectable frame rate. Overall its a very good camera, I would recommend this for anyone looking to buy a digital camera though NOT for a person looking for advanced settings. For the price nothing will come even close to it !
Great Camera!
I bought this camera, for $350 when it first came onto the market, now almost 10 months later still have it and am very happy with its performace and quality, great buy would recommned to a pro or to a avrg. joe
LCD broke twice within first year
The LCD has broken twice on me within the first year of purchase. The one good thing was that Canon actually fixed it the first time for free, despite it not being covered under warranty. The second break cost me $107. Otherwise the camera is good (although some have mentioned the pictures come out a little dark).
great camera
I bought this camera when I was on vacation in New Zealand and my other camera (the SD500) broke. I would actually have bought the SD500 again, but cameras are more expensive over there, so already I was spending more on the 400 than the 500 had cost me here, and I knew the 400 would serve my purposes for the rest of the vacation. Anyway, it's a great camera and is very well made - strong construction. And I can also say that Canon has excellent customer service - they've fixed my 500 and returned it to me, so I'm giving the 400 to my parents. Both cameras are very user friendly - they have tons of advanced features if you want them, but if you're not that technologically advanced (like my parents), the point and click settings make it really easy for anyone to take great pictures. Oh, and I love that you can charge the batteries without having to plug in the camera itself - if you buy an extra battery, you can leave one charging at home or in your hotel, while you are out using your camera, unlike my old Sony camera that you had to plug in to charge its battery. The canon external battery charger is great!
