Amazon.com Review

Canon's PowerShot range of cameras has always been strong, and the PowerShot 400 continues that tradition. The 4 Megapixel Canon PowerShot S400 digital camera is capable of taking still images at 2,272 x 1,704 pixels--enough for a good quality A4 print. Resolutions go down to 640 x 480 for images you might only want to look at digitally. You can also capture video at 320 x 240 and 160 x 120 pixels.

The camera is very small indeed--smaller than earlier PowerShot models, and is easily pocket sized. There is what at first might seem a bewildering array of buttons around the casing, but in fact these provide excellent one-button-press access to most of the most used features, such as the 3x optical zoom which goes up to 11x when combined with digital zoom features, the macro mode, settings for the flash and self timer. For more advanced features like changing the shutter speed, which it is great to be able to do on a digital camera; you do need to delve into the LED a little further, though.

Images are stored on CompactFlash card--the largest image can be a couple of MB in size so you'll need to think big when it comes to CF card size with this camera. The battery is removable, and a spare to carry in the pocket might be a good idea.

Canon supplies a range of desktop software for viewing, editing and making use of your digital images. As with previous PowerShot cameras, one of the tools works with the Stitch Assist mode on the camera itself in the production of panorama shots. Digital cameras get more advanced all the time, but we dare to say that the PowerShot S400 is probably the best pocket sized digital camera we've seen. --Sandra Vogel, Amazon.co.uk

Amazon.com Product Description

The newest Digital Elph in the Canon's PowerShot line, the compact S400--the successor to the popular S200, S230, and S330 models--is both elegant and powerful. It features a 4-megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom, an improved 3.6x digital zoom, and movie mode for videos of up to three minutes. A stainless steel shell protects the camera, while a new finish--Super Hard Cerabrite--mixes metals and ceramics to produce a tough cool-toned exterior that is visually stunning.

Optics and Resolution
Featuring a 4.0-megapixel CCD sensor, the PowerShot S400 delivers a wide range of detail and color (with images up to 2,272 x 1,704 pixels) and prints beyond 11 by 14 inches. Canon's high-quality 3x optical zoom lens (36-108mm, f/2.8-4.9) allows you to close in on the action, while the 3.6x digital zoom allows for a combined 10.8x zoom letting you capture intimate details that might have been missed with another camera.

The PowerShot S400 also features Canon's nine-point AiAF (Artificial intelligence Auto Focus) system for focusing accuracy, shutter speeds of 15 to 1/2,000 second, and fast sequence shooting at a rate of 2.5 frames per second (fps).

Movie Mode
Shoot up to three minutes of MPEG video at resolutions up to 320 x 240 pixels with sound, editing controls, and VCR-like playback. The movies aren't camcorder quality, but they're fun and convenient, and they're perfect as e-mail attachments. The camera can also attach voice memos or sound files of up to 60 seconds to each image.

More Features
You can select from evaluative, center-weighted, and spot-metering modes depending on the subject matter, and can even choose to set shutter speeds and apertures manually. An ISO range of 50 to 400 ensures practical shutter speeds in a wide variety of lighting situations, while a multifunctional, built-in flash offers a maximum reach of 3.5 meters in Auto ISO mode.

Canon's DIGIC (DIGital Imaging Core) processor ensures excellent color rendition and white balance for every shot, as well as super-fast auto focusing, noise-free imaging, and advanced flash exposure performance.

1.5-inch TFT (transreflective) LCD monitor.
Built-in flash with auto, on, off, manual, slow-synch, and red-eye reduction modes.
Shot modes include manual, auto, and stitch assist.
White balance modes include daylight, cloudy, tungsten, fluorescent, and more.
Histogram display for checking exposure and contrast levels in images stored on the memory card.
Built-in orientation sensor automatically rotates portrait pictures, and these images remain rotated when downloaded, saving time during in-computer image processing.

Storage and Transfer
Images and video are stored on CompactFlash memory cards (Type I only) and the included 32 MB card holds approximately 27 images at the Large/Fine setting. Files can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB connectivity, which means it can be connected to any USB-based Windows 98/Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.

Printing
Canon has introduced a series of printers designed to work directly with its lineup of digital cameras. Using these printers, no computer is required--simply connect the camera to the printer and start printing. Printers include Canon's bubble jet direct printers S830D and S530D, and card photo printer CP-100. Of course, photos from your camera can also be printed on any home computer system with an inkjet printer, sent off for online processing, or simply enjoyed on your computer screen.

Power, Size, and Contents
The camera is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery NB-1LH (included). It measures 3.4 by 2.2 by 1.1 inches and weighs 6.5 ounces (without battery). This package includes the PowerShot S400 digital camera, 32 MB CompactFlash card, battery and battery charger (CB-2LS), USB and AV cables, wrist strap, and ArcSoft Camera Suite CD-ROM and USB drivers for Windows and Mac.

Great Camera.......2007-08-24

Have had this for 3 years. Worked great.
Recently dropped it in the Colorado river and it still survived.
So decided to write a review :) Camera does take great pictures and is very handy. Battery life is about 2 years and then you need to replace them.

Memory Card Error fix - just shake the camera really hard !!.......2007-07-08

I bought this camera in 2004 and about a year and a half into the use I had the memory card error problem, did a lot of research and read somewhere it was a loose circuit connection common to this model. Since my warranty had expired then and Cannon at that time would not repair it for free, I decided that if it is a loose connection, maybe if I shake it violently the circuit will reconnect, and it did!! Everytime the error message comes up (and it does recur quite regularly), I just shake my camera really hard (by the strap), turn it off and on a couple of times, and the magic works. Tonight I took the internal battery out and will check back in a few months to see if it will permanently resolve the issue. Because of the picture quality and I don't really need more than 4 megapixel, I still enjoy this camera. It has travelled with me all over the world and been thrown around countless of time in my luggage, it still takes great pictures.

fix for "memory card error", otherwise a GREAT camera.......2007-07-01

I have had this camera for 4 or 5 years now. It takes great photos easily. Small enough to fix it your pocket, but not thin enough to break in your pocket when you sit down. I've dropped it more times than I care to remember and it still takes great pictures.

My only gripe about the camera is that it is FREAKIN' SLOW TO FOCUS. I'm suprised that my finger has not gone through the body of the camera a few times in trying to get the darn thing to click. But I say this about all digital cameras that I've used. This probably depends on how much the battery is charged, but tell that to a 3-year-old who won't stand still or a whale that just jumped out of the water.

By now, there are higher-resolution, faster cameras with bigger screens on the market, but I will stick with Canon when this one ultimately dies. Their optics and electronics are excellent.

Thank you so much schmalyn! Not only did removing/replacing the internal battery fix the "memory card error", but the function wheel (as I call it) now works too. I had always assumed it was a physical problem. The function wheel (with the manual overrides and movie functions) has not worked for 3 years -- maybe it never worked, but now it does.

Two comments, there are TEN not nine screws, and I would suggest marking the body of the camera with a thin permanent marker BEFOREHAND. The screws appear to be of different depths and thicknesses. One other thing, make sure you line up the camera/play switch inside and out before replacing the back casing.

great camera.......2007-01-12

Great camera that has traveled with me all over thge world. Easy to use and quality of the pictures are excellent.

I have had this product for over 2 years now!.......2007-01-09

This is just a great camera but now outdated at 4mp. but if you don't need the resolution, grab this. it's unbreakable. mine's been on every motorbike ride from lhasa to calcutta and most of the time i don't even have it in the case. its scratched, dented, and the paint is worn off, but it still performs flawlessly. canon, the only way to go.

Best dvd player for the money to play in india........2004-03-16

I've taken three of them all of them are working with no complaints. Have so many features like MP3, vcd, svcd, dvd, recordable dvd, photo disc play.

Fatal Coincidence.......2004-03-03

I bought this DVD player for use with a 1997 model Zenith 25' TV. It's my first DVD player, so I can't compare it with others, but it seems fine. I don't think it has a significant problem with lines as they say non-progressive scan machines do. There are lots of ways to adjust it if you study the manual. However, the color on my TV suddenly went partially out one day after using it only a few times.

Sexy little player, capable of playing any DVD worldwide.......2003-12-19

Whilst this may not be the most technologically advanced or sleakest looking machine on the market, I challenge you to find a more user-friendly DVD player which can be manipulated without opening the machine or doing anything illegally into playing any DVD not just from any region but also PAL or NTSC thanks to it's changable format. My player doesn't even require changing every time a new region or format DVD is put in - it automatically reads the DVD and changes itself to be able to play it. For less then forty dollars, you really couldn't ask more. It's a small design but the remote is fully functional and of good size - certainly no tiny little buttons to fiddle around with. I am absolutely delighted with the player for its usability and cost.

Compact and User Friendly.......2003-11-21

The DVD player has a classy look. Works great with all electronics, even digital TVs. It is SO easy to use, I've never even had to open the user's manual.

BAD DVD.......2003-11-17

This is the worst DVD player ever! I bought two of these and one broke on the first day and the other broke on the second day. Both of them ate the disks and I had to pry the DVD player apart jsut to get it open. This DVD player is just a piece of crap.

TAU Wows Even in the World of HDTV.......2004-07-17

My wife and I bought this set about four years ago and it has been better than we could have hoped. I wish it supported Progressive Scan but, evidently, nothing in the sub-27" category does. Notwithstanding this size-class drawback, this is the best television I have ever owned, hands-down. The picture is absurdly better than competitive offerings and, despite its diminutive size, when connected to a nice receiver with surround sound speakers and paired with a DVD player with an S-Video out and digital audio out, it provides the center for a home theater to be reckoned with.

Outstanding small TV.......2001-05-06

I am extremely impressed with the Panasonic 20" Tau. I looked at 20" flat screens from Aiwa and Sony but the Panasonic had the best balance between performance, sound, and price.

The picture is sharp, bright, and clean, moreso than either the Aiwa or Sony. The menus interface is logical and makes sense. It's a personal preference, but I like how the Panasonic model uses different colors for it's various on-screen information (outside the menu system) versus Aiwa and Sony's monotone color scheme for all on-screen information. The Speakers are clear and crisp, although the one's on the Aiwa were better. (as they should be. Aiwa is a sound company.)

The really nice aspect of the Panasonic model is that it has 3 A/V inputs and a Component Video input, meaning four A/V devices can be hooked up to it. The Aiwa only had 2 A/Vs and Component and the Sony didn't have Component. Additionally, the Panasonic has a Headphone Jack; that's not available on the Sony model.

I personally like the features, great picture, and sound quality of the Panasonic model. I personally think it's the best looking one of the bunch. It cost less than the Sony model but more than the Aiwa model. The Panasonic offered the most features, the best picture, great audio and at a good price. I'd encourage anyone in the market for a high-end, quality 20" TV to give the Panasonic model serious consideration.

Great CD/DVD opener.......2007-01-24

Trying to open a new CD or DVD can be a pain. This Maxell opener solves all the hassle. Couldn't be easier.

Pros and cons.......2006-05-10

First, look when the reviews on this product were written...a LONG time ago. Since then, CD openers HAVE evolved and I strongly suggest you take a look at the CD Stripper because it is not only sturdy and child-proof but recently got rave reviews in Readers Digest for being a great product...and they are right...it is.

Why? Well, for one thing it has the unique feature of being both safe from very young fingers, especially those of toddlers... but simple enough for a child to use without getting hurt. It is sturdy and lasts for quite awhile. It was manufactured by a mother who needed an opener the whole family could use without risking damage to the CDs. The CD Stripper does the job.

Until the, this one was fine. But spend the extra money and upgrade.

Zip It, Don't Rip It!.......2004-10-05

You just bought a prerecorded CD or you're ready to download and burn a new CD. The excitement builds...30 minutes later, after trying to rip open the plastic convering and metallic seal you either:

1. Throw up your hands in disgust, and listen to "Rage Against the Machine" way loud.

2. Throw the CD away, and idealize the good old days of vinyl and cassettes.

3. Listen to your new CD while bandaging the blood dripping from your battered fingers.

But wait--There is an answer!

These tiny devices work like a mini letter opener and do all the intricate cutting for you. Just firmly grip it, and let the CD150 cleanly and easily open the package for you. They're so cheap, buy two or three--for home, your vehicle, an office--and you'll save time and frustration. A great stocking stuffer (hint, hint). These devices are often available at major record stores (e.g., "Tower Records") so I wouldn't buy these unless they're part of a larger order ($25 or more in qualifying goods) so that you can get Amazon's free shipping. Next time you buy a couple of CD's here, throw in a few of these also. Simple, cheap, and efficient--belongs in the Smithsonian.

Like no other!!!!!.......2003-11-12

Oh my god - i can't believe how i lived without this product.

Before - i used to spend countless hours trying to get those damn blank cd disc packeges open! - i mean god - its like they package the stuff up so tight that it can't come undone during shipping - sometimes i wish they would make it easier.

Thats when my friend Jethro introduced me to this new-fangled dohicky. God - the differances!!! - i can now open a new box of 100 disc cd's in under a minute now!!! (which believe me - with all my... uhhh... nature films.......... - i need to store all that i can - i go through 100 cd's in under 2 weeks) - now with this device - i can save my nimble fingers for........ well......... uhh........ other activities.........

Buy it now - or be the stupid kid who everyone laughs at!

You won't regret it!

You can't beat this product for convenience or price.......2003-07-12

So simple, yet so effective! That's the best way to describe the Maxell CD150 CD Disc opener. Think back to all the fingernails that you've broken trying to open that new CD. Well, this product eliminates that problem forever. Quick and easy, with the CD150 CD Disc opener, it's one or two quick zips and the CD is open.

You can't afford to be without two of three of these products. And, you'll probably buy even more after your friends see them lying around and ask to borrow them.

Great price - great product! Way to go Maxell!
