    • Cons: breaks on a wim, the dreaded e18 error
    • Has Owned Product: 1 year
    • Comments:
      Unless you dont mind buying another $500 camera in another year, or maybe less, I would not buy this camera. Do a google search on E18 if you dont believe. I kept my camera in a protected pouch, never was dropped, excellently cared for; and boom broke on...

      I have taken about 300 photographs in the 3 months I have had this camera. I was disatisfied with 3 pictures which for some reason displayed a light circle in the photos. It was not a result of flare but I have not determiined the cause. Two of the shots...

      Great little camera that can fit in a pocket. I had the PowerShot S50 but there were mechanical errors. Was hesitant to buy this but was sold on it's size and picture quality. My wife can use it which is a testimony in itself as she is not intuitive wh...

    • Pros: It worked well when it worked
    • Cons: Defective
    • Has Owned Product: 1 year
    • Comments:
      The camera was used very infrequently for the first 6 months of ownership. After I began using it regularly the lens mechanism broke. I have since found out that it is a defect that Canon refuses to acknowledge. The camera is now garbage. What a big waste...

      I wish this camera had more optical zoom and I could take pictures faster. But I like the fact that I can take 3 minutes of video recording with sound. No need of having a video camcorder. ...

      Examined several "pocket" digital cameras before purchasing the Digital S400. Reviews of the camera were positive and I've always been impressed with the film versions of the same camera. Purchased the unit and haven't regretted it. Pictures are sharp...

    • Pros: Wonderful photos and ease of use.
    • Cons: LCD is way too fragile
    • Has Owned Product: 1 year
    • Comments:
      I absolutely loved this camera until my LCD went. I was told it wasn't covered by warranty due to the LCD appeared to be cracked. Since I baby this camera because I love it so much I'm quite upset that the LCD was damaged by no fault of my own. Without...
