Canon Digital Ixus 400

I have always liked the Canon range of IXUS* pocket cameras, ever since I bought the first, and to my way of thinking, best built model, finished as it was in a hefty satin stainless steel case with just a touch of black plastic around the lens. I guess you'd call this the IXUS 1, except back then it was not numbered, it was THE IXUS. *In other parts of the globe, this may be called an ELPH, as in, ?......still, as long as you've got your ELPH? (another missed marketing opportunity!) Over a 6-year period it has served us well, except for a failure during its guarantee period, which was fixed free-of-charge. However, last Summer while on holiday ...  Read the complete review

*Brand: The Canon Ixus 400 was obviously made by Canon, one of the top leading companies known for their quality and their always upgrading technology. *Dimensions: The Canon Ixus 400 like stated in my advantages is very portable, the dimensions are as follows 2.0(H)x5.0(W)x8.0(D) --- cm For someone like me who loves taking photographs and taking the camera everywhere would really enjoy this light, small camera. *Megapixels The Canon IXUS 400 has a remarkable megapixel of 4mb! This means the digital camera has much better quality and sharper images then other top camera's. This also means you may wish to ...  Read the complete review

Amazingly, for such a decent digital camera, the Canon Digital Ixus 400 is offered for sale at Amazon at less than £250 according to Google, although when you click the link, the Amazon says disappointingly, ?This item is not in stock or has been discontinued?, although it goes on to offer new and used versions at just £220. I daresay that all that will soon change, however. Kelkoo suggests prices in excess of 300 notes, unfortunately. Best advice is to shop around. Also known as the Powershot S400, the Ixus is a compact, 4 megapixel digital camera, finished in the obligatory, ultra modern silver, ...  Read the complete review

Yep! Guilty! Of choosing a camera just because of its brand name. Canon has long been recognised for its quality cameras, and this is no different. The canon ixus 400 can be carried anywhere ? measuring only 2.0 * 5.0 * 8.0cm ? it is extremely light and portable and is great to just keep in your pocket to catch that rare shot. Camera picture quality is generally defined by the number of megapixels that the camera is able to catch the shot in. Top of the range cameras can produce over 10 megapixels, but above 3 will produce a good quality photograph. The canon ixus 400, being 4 megapixels, produces a quality high resolution image, meaning that you can also ...  Read the complete review

We've had had our Ixus 400 for about 4 months now and we're very happy with it. The quality of photos is excellent. The automatic mode, where the camera chooses all settings generally makes the best photos though there are also plenty of facilities to experiment with different aperture, colour and speed etc. when you want. The only dissappointment was that the Ixus 400 doesn't have as wide angle lense as its non-digital predecessor, which I have used for years and was accustomed to. Other criticism came from my father, that it was too small! That the small buttons make it hard for him to use and he found it hard to hold it steady ...  Read the complete review
