I've had this Canon Ixus 400 for 3 years and now have a 128 MB card in it meaning I can get a fair few pictures before the memory runs out. Before buying this camera I looked at quite a few... more

    Advantages Advantages Top-notch build quality and design. First rate results

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No case! Quite pricey for specification level. Shortish battery life with no clear indicator

    I’ve 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 wasn’t 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 ... more

    Advantages Advantages Excellent picture quality, compact size, easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor battery indicator, shutter speed can be a bit slow

    I bought this camera a day before my holiday and have just come back after a week armed with nearly 1000 photos. It took only the afternoon after it arrived to go through the menus and get the hang of using it and after only a few photos I knew I had made an excellent choice. Picture quality was definitely the most important factor for me and I have not been disappointed - quite the opposite in fact. I had my mums Kodak DC4800 camera as a benchmark and didn't think I would get a camera with anything like the same picture quality within my budget let alone better, which this is, by some way at ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Slim and Small (Portable)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages From my experience... battery power runs out to fast and no internal memory.

    *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 ... more

    Advantages Advantages Compact, easy to use, good software

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Case is extra, only comes with a 32mb smartmedia card

    I moved to this camera from a Canon Ixus Z70 (non digital) and thought that I would have to go some to beat that camera. This camera more than exceeded my expectations - it uses all of its 4.1 megapixels to good effect. If you want a reliable, easy-to-use good looking camera with plenty of useful features then this is the camera for you. It takes photos up to size A4 fine quality and will take up to A3 (though I would think that the average amateur photographer would not have the capability to print high quality photos this size. I particularly like the fact that the menus are simple to use ... more

    Advantages Advantages COMPACT & STYLISH

    Disadvantages Disadvantages NO CASE

    I am not a camera specialist. I can be confused easily with the terminology of the digital world. This camera was bought for me 3 years ago, after the arrival of my son, I was keeping true print in business single handidly!! I actually enjoy my camera and photography now I have a digital camera and would never go back to film - well who would! The canon IXUS 400 is great it serves all my needs, there are newer models on the market but that will always be the case. Speaking of cases where is it - what a shame it didn't come with one. The camera itself was not cheap you think they could have ... more
