    As a simple point and shoot digital camera, I've found that the Canon PowerShot S400 produces some pretty beautiful images. For the most part, their crisp and clear. I usually use the manuel setting so that flash is not necessary and am often surprised by how great the images come out! There is, of course, a degree of pixelation and some pictures may not come out in focus if you're subject is moving too much. I also avoid using the flash because it ends up making your shot look very washed out. However, for an easy to use and decent digital camera, I'd definitely recommend the S400.

    I use this camera at work and I appreciate the size and ease of use. It takes clear pictures and even if your hand is not completely steady, the pictures turn out sharp.

    When this was new it was that amount I got as a gift for under that price. I like it but it has a wafer battery that is on a wall charger and it makes it kinda a pain you cannt do too many large format before you run out of battery. I think if it ran on rechargable AA batteries I would like it better. The wafer battery costs about 40 bucks to replace after a year to a year and a half.
    I also like the Nikon 10.2 pixel and would love to own one $$ away from it right now.
