Summary: get this camera, and you will love it
Review: I am using this camera for 2 months now, and I love it for the small size, nice picture quality, easy-to-use navigation. However, it require a lot of lighting when shoting outdoors. Manual mode is very helpfull, but camera needs a "stand" to shot at night time. This is still however, can not garantee good quality pictures at night time. I wish, this camera would have more manual options as some advanced Canon cameras. If you are planning to use this camera as a point-and-shot one in an automatic mode, I believe, nothing better you will find on the market. If you are planning to shot at night or with extremely low lighting, go for something better. And, of course, buy a "stand" and get yourself at least 256MB CompactFlash Card.

Summary: Love this camera!!!
Review: This camera has been amazing. I bought it right before Christmas to replace the Powershot S200 that I had purchased last year. The Powershot S200 was a great camera but wasn't able to get the close-ups of my baby that I really wanted. This camera has made up for it ten times over. The pictures that have resulted from this camera have been awesome. The camera has a great zoom for long distance pics and yet still takes great close-ups as well. The size of the camera is what drew me in to begin with which is the reason I previously purchased the S200. I take this camera just about everywhere because of its size. You wouldn't be able to do this with many other cameras on the market. The cost of the camera was a little high but I think its comparable to other cameras that are 4 megapixel. Overall, this camera was definitely money well spent. It will get lots of use for many years to come. If you are considering purchasing this camera then take the plunge. I love this camera!!!

Summary: This Camera is great!
Review: I recently purchased this camera and it is fabulous. It takes great pictures and the flash is excellent. The only complaint that I have about this camera is the red eye problem, but besides that everything else is excellent. This camera is great for everything, from taking pictures for your photo album to downloading pictures for your website.

Summary: You'll Love It
Review: I purchased this camera for my daughter for XMAS. Looking forward to getting tons of photos, videos of our new granddaughter. I've been using the PowerShot S300 that I purchased from Amazon a couple of years ago and I love it.
One great feature is the power pak. You do not have to mess with rechargable "AA" batteries. Just place the battery in the charge plug it in a receptable and you are back in business in a couple of hours...Not to mention you can take about 256 pictures without charging again.

Summary: Great camera!
Review: I recently got one of these cameras and I think it's wonderful! It's incredibly tiny and easy to carry around all the time - it's about the size of a credit card (but thicker, about 1/2" give or take). It's so easy to fit it in my back pocket or a small purse. I bring it almost everywhere! Some great features on the S400: -Powers on extremely fast! I know with some of my other digital cameras, you have to wait awhile for it to power up.. this one does it in a matter of a few seconds! -Takes pictures equally fast! -Panoramic capability (and you can stitch together your pictures once they are on your computer) -Macro mode (take pictures of extremely small things, this feature has been incredibly useful to me as I often photograph miniature figurines for ebay!) -Easy to use menu, very user friendly! Even a digital camera novice can operate this camera without having to read a hundred pages in a manual! -Fast battery charge and it lasts a long time! I barely ever have to worry about the batteries on my S400.. I can use it for several hours and not even come close to running down the battery. Overall, its a fantastic camera! I can hardly think of anything I DON'T like about it. One thing to be concerned about is that it only comes with a 32MB card, which you will want to upgrade. I immediately bought a 256MB card, which holds hundreds of pictures. I highly recommend this camera - It's extremely small, sturdy, takes great pictures and is easy to use!

Summary: Cigarette Box Camera
Review: The size of a pack of smokes, and not much heavier, this amazing bit of technology has found a new home in my hands--and within the next few days, in the hands of my brother and a best friend as a gift. I've left behind my old SLR and decided this camera has the quality and usability to do anything anywhere, with little hassle, speed issues, or clunkyness. Although its slightly pricey, a premium is rightfully worthy. Just like the iPod, it pays to get the BEST.

Summary: This is THE digital camera!
Review: As the title says, the Canon S400 is THE digital camera. I've used another type of camera, the Sony Mavica, and while it takes 3.5 floppies or CD-RW discs that make it easy to transfer the pictures, what could be easier than simply plugging in a cable into your camera? Windows XP can be set to automatically transfer the pictures you took to a folder, so it's totally automated once you plug the cable into the camera and turn it on! Wow, what a feature.
This camera takes such beautiful pictures, I find myself carrying it with me all the time. It's perfect if you're a guy or a girl. It fits very easily into your purse ladies, or into your pocket men. The height and width are the size of a CREDIT CARD! It's only a little thicker than your big thumb.
Some features I LOVE about this camera that you won't find on other cameras include:
**Zooming in on pictures you've taken [this allows you to zoom in to see the smallest details of a picture you took without loading it on a computer at all! good for seeing if someone didn't smile well]
**Ability to up to 6 of the pictures at once [makes finding a picture you took easy, no need to go through 18 pictures to find the one you want, instead see 3 screens of 6 pictures!]
**Panaronamic mode [take a series of pictures then "stitch" them together using the software they provide. this allows you to take a 360% picture if you wanted to!]
**Manual mode is loaded with options [adjust just about ANYTHING you can think of to make your pictures come out perfect. take pictures at night by adjusting the shutter speed]
**Macro mode [allows you to take CYRSTAL CLEAR pictures of things as little as 2 inches away! you can see details invisible to the naked eye in this mode]
**Auto-focus [this enables you to focus specifically on 1 aspect of the picture, someone's face for example. this ENSURES the selected area is perfectly crisp!].
You can take this camera's memory card to any photo developer (Wal-Mart is cheapest) and get amazing prints with NO editing at all. The 4x6 prints are of FINER quality than film! I could see individual whisker's on pictures of my cat!
Portability, though, remains my favorite feature of this camera. I can take it with me ALL THE TIME for those unexpected moments when having a camera is such a joy. You'll never miss the chance to capture anything!
A definite awesome buy and very worth the money!

Summary: Very cool camera!
Review: This has been a fabulous camera -- really easy to learn to use, great pictures, and easy transfer to the computer. I'd previously had a an SR35, and this is just as comfortable and easy to use in my hands. Two of my relatives have them, too, and we all love'em. Only drawback has been accidentally leaving it on while connected to the computer and running the battery out. However, the recharger is fabulous and efficient.

Summary: Excellent camera, highly recommended over the Sony DSC-P10
Review: I just bought the S400 from Dell for $xxx a little while back and was considering the Sony DSC-P10 at the time as well. I figured I'd write up a review on amazon to help other people out that are in the decision making process. Price:
-----
The Sony DSC-P10 is 5 MP vs. 4 MP for the S400. The difference in resolution may immediately sway your decision to teh DSC-P10, but I would think very carefully. While the extra 1 MP sounds like a lot, my old 2.0 MP Canon S00 was fine for priting pictures all the way up to 8x10 (w/o any cropping). 4 MP resolution should allow you to price 11x14 with no cropping, and 8x10 with a lot of cropping. 5 MP is just excessive IMO. These days, it's just a race among manufacturers to see who can advertise the highest MP number. Shooting modes and menus
---------------------------------
P10 also has some convenient shooting modes which make it more user friendly. It also has great features like cropping, resizing and rotating right on the camera which helps when you are not by a computer and want to free up room on your media storage. The Canon S400 has a far superior menu system and is much easier to use. Size:
-----
Canon S400 is smaller, making it a more pocketable camera IMO. Trust me on this one. The specs shown them being only very slightly different in dimensions, but the total volume of the cameras makes the S400 ideal. Those with bigger hands may prefer the layout and slightly larger size of the P10 though. Memory storage:
---------------
The P10 uses Memory cards, which are limited to 128 MB, unless you use the double sided ones (Sony Memory Duo), where you can flip them over to get another 128 MB. Far too much hassle for me.. sounds easy in theory, but in real life, you will hate it. My friend who bought the P10 surely does. You can get larger memory sticks, which comes in the form of the "Sony Memory Pro", which are 256 MB and 512 MB. Keep in mind though, that these cards have problems acting as regular storage for files, and things like Mp3s for sony mp3 players. They have some type of digital rights management (DRM) on them that have causes lots of problems for people (so i've read on many reviews). Also, these PRO cards only work in 2003 (or newer) sony devices. Lastly, the memory pro cards have some type of management files on the cards themselves, taking up about 20MB of space. So a 256 MB card, really only has about 230 MB. Maybe not a big deal, but com'on, at advertise the size correctly! Battery Life:
-------------
Battery life on P10 is better than the S400. It will last about 20% longer. However, the batteries are cheaper for the S400 AFAIK and they also charge in about 1/2 the time vs. the sony batteries. Conclusion:
-----------
All in all, i think the S400 is a better choice. Sure, CF maybe outdated in a few years in favor of smaller, superior storage media like SD, MMC or xD cards (which are going up to 1 GB btw), but until then you can get a great digicam with dirt cheap media. I picked up a 512 MB Kingston card for very cheap from eBay. Tips for those buying the S400:
-------------------------------
1. Ensure you buy good quality CF cards for the S400. CF cards have on-board processor on the cards themselves which actually regulate how fast the read+write is, unlike smartmedia which reliees on the camera. This means that CF cards will differ greatly in speed for read+write performance. Recommendations are Viking, RiData and Kingston. I have used about 7 or 8 different types of cards, and these are definitely the best in speed and reliability. Viking can be found cheap on Amazon deals quite often (with rebates), and kingston and ridata can be found on eBay for cheap. 2. Buy the legitimate Canon branded NB-1LH batteries. They can be had for about $30-$40 if you look hard enough. Stay away from NB-1L (notice the H is suffix is missing). The NB-1L is the lower capacity battery for these cameras. Stay away from aftermarket batteries. Sure they sell for MUCH cheaper (often 1/3 the price), but reliability and longevity of these are just brutal. There are always exceptions to the rules -- some ppl have have great experiences, which others have dead batteries almost right away. Why risk having a dead battery while you are on vacation and miss those Crucial shots of your wife/gf? Spend the extra $15 and get the real-deal batteries. Recommended purchase:
---------------------
-Canon S400
-256 or 512 MB Viking, RiData or Kingston CF card
-1 extra battery NB-1LH
-Camera Case PSC-100 -- padded case with front storage for extra battery and storage. Very compact and nice looking.
