5 of 5 Pocket-Sized Art Tuesday, February 01, 2005
Ramo from Madison, Wisconsin  

One of the most important aspects in purchasing a product for me is its design and functionality. This camera is superbly constructed and perfect for slipping into a pocket or backpack for travels. I recently took it to France and India, and was constantly impressed with its durability and convenience. When I returned home, I then was amazed with its photo quality. My only hesitation in purchasing this camera was that it lacked manual controlling of aperture and shutter speeds, and other functions. However, the sacrifice was well worth it. Canon has impressed me again.

5 of 5 Just used the Camera in Hawaii Wednesday, October 20, 2004
Anthony from Sayville, NY  
This is the first digital camera I have bought and for the price this camera is a fantastic buy. The camera has so many features and a 12x zoom. I used this camera for hiking trips, boating trips, and nights out in the different islands in Hawaii. With the zoom on this camera I was able to take pictures of surfers on the beach from the 25th floor of my hotel with excellent resoultion. If you are looking for a solid, compact camera with tons of features and high resoultion, this camera is a steal at $355

5 of 5 The PowerShot S400 on Steroids Wednesday, June 30, 2004
Marc Jackson from Field, ID  
This is an awesome camera. I just took it out of the box for my son's birthday party and started shooting. I recommend that you get one to capture all that you can. I won't miss anything ever again. I also got the SimpleTech 512MB CompactFlash card. It was a little more money but the customer service when I wanted to know about the number of pictures I could store was great. I recommend both the Camera and the SimpleTech Card.

5 of 5 Great little camera Friday, June 18, 2004
A Customer from Milwaukee, Wisconsin  
Just got it today and after scanning the manual I tried a macro shot, shot with people and then an outdoor scene shot. The photos were all terrific! This camera is very, very small about the size of a cigerette package which is exactly what I wanted. I have a bigger digital Canon camera but I wanted something that was easy to carry in my shirt pocket when doing various outdoor activities. Also, plugs right into my CP-200 Canon photo printer for instantly printing great photo prints. The camera only comes with a 32 MB CF memory card, so I ordered with the camera 2-256 MB ScanDisk Compact Flash cards. You will need more memory to hold lots of large pictures.
