Re: Powershot A1400 any good?

My wife uses an A1400 because it is the only under-$500 compact on the market with a real live viewfinder.  Given its limited focal length range, at low ISOs it is a pretty good camera.  It appears to be sharp enough for small prints and for web viewing.  I just wouldn't push it much beyond ISO400.  I would also get good rechargeable batteries like the Eneloop.  Some brands don't seem to work right in the camera and give a "replace batteries" error message, but the Eneloop work fine and seem to last forever.
