a lot of E18 Error on this camera!.......2007-09-05
My Camera SD450 Digital ELPH (5M) is just 15 months old.. Upon searching
from the web, a lot of Canon customers have this E18 error, which pertains
to the lens not extending/retracting properly.. I wasted my money on this.
I thought Canon is a good brand for cameras, apparently not!
I love this camera!.......2007-08-31
I have owned this camera for over a year now. I have over 2000 pictures I have posted on Flickr with it, and many more on my computer. I bought it originally to take on vacation and take pictures of the kids, and it has been in my pocket nearly every day since. It is so small, and so fast, I have no reason to leave it at home.
This is my second digital camera I have owned, but have used many, and using other people's camera, even just to take a few shots for them, reminds me of why I love mine so much.
Love this camera!!.......2007-07-25
I have really been impressed with this product. The camera has a huge screen that people are always jealous of. It works great and can really zoom in.
Good Digital Camera.......2007-07-10
I bought Sd 450 Mar, 2006, I think I did right thing, SD450 is very good digital camera.
Our first digital--easy to use & takes good pictures.......2007-06-22
We've had this camera for over a year and enjoy using it.
I am not an expert, and the camera has features we've never used, but we are very satisfied with it. It is so easy to use and takes good pictures. It is also very small and easy to carry. We bought the Canon leather case for this model, which protects it and is no trouble to use. We also bought a 2-gig SD card, and it holds tons of pictures. We have no complaints!
Average customer rating:
- AMAZING
- Great Camera if it doesn't stop working...
- SD card locked
- Fine if you don't need more than a gig of space...

Customer Reviews:
AMAZING.......2007-08-02
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..........2007-07-20
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.......2007-07-07
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..........2007-07-03
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.
Excellent Camera.......2007-06-29
I bought this camera about 3-4 years ago. I have an old Canon AE-1 film SLR and that camera is amazing but I really wanted a digital camera so I shopped around and finally decided on a Canon it takes breathtaking pictures and is very compact. The battery doesnt last incredibly long but that is somewhat normal after a some years of charging it over and over. But I still love this camera! Even after 3 years.

Product Description
Panasonic combines innovative space-age technology with elegant styling. The high Performance PanaBlack Picture Tube improves contrast by as much as 40% over conventional televisions. Crisper images, more brilliant and sharper focus creates a feeling of depth that will almost pull you into the picture. Panasonic redefines the words light, sound and color creating a new dimension of viewing enjoyment.The CT-27G6 is equipped with Audio/Video jacks that allow you to connect external sources quickly and easily. More importantly, these jacks connect your sources directly to audio and video circuits of the TV set, bypassing the tuner for optimum picture reproduction. The video input is composite video. The 2 Line Digital Comb Filter digitally separates or "Combs" the luminance (black and white) and chrominance (Color) from incoming video signals. This process minimizes color streaks wavy edges and increase picture resolution. The CT-27G6 also features Artificial Intelligence (Al) Sound that controls the volume level automatically to prevent wide variations in volume among different TV channels and types of programming.

It's an awesome tv!.......2002-12-15
We bought this tv in May of this year and it is the best tv I've ever owned. The quality of pictures and sound it has is amazing. It's the best tv.
Mis informed!.......2002-12-01
Apprently this individual from TN, has no idea between the difference of a regular television and PC Monitor.
First of all, nowhere in the add does it describe the unit as a TV/Monitor! combination, who ever wrote this review, needs to read the advertisement a little closer.
Not Really a Monitor!.......2002-06-11
Stereo TV/Monitor HUH. Where's the VGA connector? or the DVI connector? Sorry...not really a monitor,,,Just a TV!

great camera.......2007-06-27
This is a great camera that anyone can learn to use. Everything on it works well; I've had no problems with it whatsoever. There are no regrets with this purchase!
Photography Teacher.......2006-11-29
I've bought over a dozen of these cameras for a high school photography class, and I can tell you it is rare to find a fully manual 35mm SLR camera (though the light meter is battery operated with illuminated green and red plus and minus signs. Old people will remember the manually operated circle that you would manipulate over the meter needle with the aperture ring or shutter speed knob). The camera is simple, the user actually understands what's going on with the settings, and it holds up to student use. It reliably exposes film to a prescribed amount of light, and that's what it's all about.
DO NOT BUY!.......2006-11-09
I bought this camera for a photography class I was taking (I had to drop the class because of problems with the camera). The first camera Vivitar sent to me had a broken light meter, so I contacted the company to send it back and have it replaced. The company (Ace photo and digital) made me pay the postage to send back a camera that came broken, and then sent me a second camera that once again didn't have a functioning light meter. I would send it back a second time, but I think I'll just buy a light meter that works with the money I would have spent on postage.
Great Student Camera.......2006-11-04
I intentionally got an all manual film camera to force me to learn the basics of photography. This little beauty performs perfectly with its real pentaprism, DOF preview, and fast 50mm lens.
A brand-new all-mechanical camera is a rare thing these days and I'm glad someone still makes one.
I love this camera.......2006-02-22
I love this camera. It is one of the only manual cameras still being manufactured. Digital-electronic monstrosities (which are unbelievably expensive) simply cannot produce images like a simple manual camera with a good 50mm lens.
The lens that comes in this kit is multicoated, which what you want. It is also a K-mount, which means that the camera is compatible with the vast hoard of K-mount lenses out there (probably one of the most popular lens mounts ever made, along with the Canon EF mount). This camera is basically the modern equivalent of the venerable Pentax K-1000, a great camera if ever there was one. It is easy to find all sorts of other lenses, if you ever want them. I could shoot 35mm film with a 50mm lens for the rest of my life and be happy, but it is nice to have options.
I like the fact that I can control the speed and aperture with simple, familiar mechanical controls. It has an actual, physical shutter knob, and an actual, physical aperture ring. These things will never fail, if you take care of them.
I cannot believe the price. A camera like this -- simple, but durable, with a timer and a built-in meter -- would have been out of my price-range when I was starting out. This little camera would have been one of the most advanced cameras available, at that time (and I'm not that old!).
Digital technology is fine for internet applications, for newspaper reporters, maybe even for some wedding and event photographers. But digital images just don't look like film. Digital prints are still basically ink jet print-outs -- the image is squirted onto the paper. Plus, to enlarge them much more than an 8x10, you would need more megapixels than most people can afford.
If you want a good, surprisingly inexpensive camera that makes fantastic images on FILM, without being tied to a computer, then get this camera. Get some Tri-X film. Heck, you might even consider getting a basic darkroom kit and setting up a lab in your bathroom (it's not very expensive -- a lot less than the cost of a digital SLR, for example, even including the camera). That way you can have total control over your prints and make images that people love, not just snapshots that get thrown away.
