I purchased this camera to use on business trips - I travel frequently and my wife and son wanted pictures of what the cities look like. When the camera arrived, I charged the battery overnight. When I got up the next morning, my son had taken almost 5

Images are brilliant, colors true. Had a little trouble at first with getting a few blurry shots because it’s so light sometimes it moves a little when you hit the button. The fast start up means I get shots that I used to miss with my older digitals.

QuickTake:

Pros: Small, light, fast startup & shutdown, great pics -A WINNER
Cons: Small and light means occasional pics will be blurry

Sleek and trim, with an elegant body design, the new Canon PowerShot SD400 features the great looks and sharp design that are a signature of Canon's ELPH cameras. Very compact and quick on the draw (thanks to a smoothly operating retractable lens design),

Review Verdict: The Canon PowerShot SD400 features a 3x, 5.8-17.4mm zoom lens, equivalent to a 35-105mm zoom on a 35mm camera. Aperture is automatically controlled, but the maximum setting ranges from f/2.8 at full wide angle to f/4.9 at full telephoto. A maximum 4x digi

Canon PowerShot SD400 Digital ELPH

Comments:
The Canon PowerShot SD400 Digital ELPH ($400) is more than just a 5 Megapixel version of the SD300. Canon also added these new features, all of which can also be found on the new SD500. They include:

Review Verdict: The SD400 uses the same battery as the SD200 and SD300 (but NOT the SD500). That's the NB-4L battery which packs just 2.8 Wh of energy. That translates to just 150 shots per charge using the CIPA standard -- which is below average. The SD300 can take 140

The 5-megapixel Canon PowerShot SD400 is 1.5 ounces lighter than the 7.1-megapixel SD500, but otherwise offers very similar features. Like its slightly larger sibling, the SD400 is a pocketable point-and-shooter that takes excellent pictures.
