Canon - PowerShot SX400 IS 16.0-Megapixel Digital Camera - Red

This camera is great for the price. I just needed a simple camera that would take quality pictures. This camera did not dissapoint. I took it to a graduation ceremony and the battery lasted the 3 hours I was there. I also took it on a hike and it took amazing pictures of nature. It is a grat camera for a beginner. I decided on this instead of splurging on a DSRL camera because I just needed something simple to use! My little brother loved the quality pictures he was able to take with it as well and is considering getting one himself.

A little larger than the skinny telescoping cameras but much more durable. When I first picked it up, I thought it was cheap because it was so light. Not so. Just took it to Grand Canyon, Zion, Disneyland, and San Diego. Awesome shots. GREAT ZOOM for being relatively small. Most of what an SLR offers with the small feel of a point and shoot. Great value.

light weight and easy to use! Love it!! Took great pics in Italy.

not as satisfied as I hoped I would be. My old camera takes better pictures

Pros: Awesome Point and shoot right out of the box, with old school feel. Many adjustment features for beginners or novice. Learning curve is minimum. Affordable price. Zoom stays in focus unlike cheaper cameras, and is more than enough for the beginners out there. Was able to capture the moon on max zoom, in full frame! Highly recommended. Cons: The only down side is intuitiveness for right hand thumb placement when taking pics. Function buttons could have been designed better.

I manage a business that takes a lot of exterior photos for business purposes. We need cameras that are light enough to handle, but strong enough to stand up to repetitive use and minor abuse. These fit the bill perfectly. The lens on the front is significantly larger than a compact point and shoot. The hand grip on the side is a nice design feature for moving with the camera. Photo quality is great for cameras in this price range. I got 2 on sale for $150 each, and I might be hesitant to pay too much more for these as, feature-wise, they still fall into the basic point and shoot category. Battery life is good, flash is a little weird, and menus are pretty similar to other Canon products if you're used to them. Have not tried out any of the video features.

Got this to replace my Nikon Coolpix. First hint, get a next strap because if you drop this it is not gonna be good. Tried to do some extreme close-up of plants and flowers and it had trouble focusing. And I don't understand most of the functions. I suppose I could read the instructions. Still trying to figure out how to do stutter shots.. where you try to take a series of pics to catch a good one in motion. Still, no regrets.

I have a big ebay store and use my digital camera every single day. It must take sharp, clear pictures with vivid colors and be able to zoom in tightly on small details like the UPC and/or Item Number. I started with a Fuji Film camera and it started having problems soon after I bought it. I sent it back and bought a Canon. That camera was terrible. The colors were all dull and the lighting was bad. So, this is my 3rd camera and it is absolutely perfect! I love it! It does exactly everything that I need for it to do.
