Digital Camera Reviews and Ratings By manufacturer:

attaboy is a blogger with a Canon Powershot S400. user review tells of his decision to buy the S400 after weighing up the options, gives some insightful and balanced strengths and weaknesses of the camera and makes a few comparisons to other cameras he's used before.
All in all the verdict for the Canon Powershot S400 is pretty positive from attaboy who speaks like a real person (refreshing) who has a growing love for his little compact digital camera. Here is a taste...
'Three months later, am I happy? Well, the short answer is yes, since I figure I’ve shot some 800 photos since March, which is way way more than I ever would have on my trusty old SLR. The S400 is a great camera, but it’s not perfect. I’d still recommend it though, since I’m pretty sure no digital camera is perfect....
It’s really small and light so you will want to take it places, wine it, dine it, and show it the world. It’s also made of metal and feels very sturdy.
Considering how small and light it is, the picture quality, both in colour and sharpness is excellent. (The Pentax Optio is smaller, with similar features, but the picture quality is noticeably worse.)...
All in all, I can’t say enough about how easy the S400 is to use. It’s actually quite a complicated little beast, but the interface is designed with simplicity in mind. If all you want to do is take a frickin’ picture, it’s easy, but if you want to take a twelve second exposure, compensating for tungsten light and boosting the exposure by two stops, all while locking the focus on the left-hand foreground, well… it’s not as hard as it sounds.'
