Canon PowerShot S400 (Digital IXUS 400) Review
Canon announced the ultra-compact four megapixel, three
times optical zoom PowerShot S400 (AKA. Digital IXUS 400) just
a few days before PMA 2003. The PowerShot S400 is the latest in line
of Canon's ultra-compact PowerShot series, this camera packs a four megapixel
sensor and three times optical zoom lens into a package the same size
as PowerShot S230 (three megapixels, two times zoom, announced in September
2002). Unlike previous ultra-compact Powershot's this camera disposes
with the 'looks dirty easily' stainless steel case to be replaced with
an all new 'Cerabrite' material which is a mix of metal and ceramic. It's
still cool to the touch, doesn't show up fingerprints and doesn't scratch
easily.
The PowerShot S400 around the world
It's worth remembering that the PowerShot S400 is known by different
names around the world. Being based in the UK I was supplied with a 'Digital
IXUS 400', the only difference is the silk screened label on the front
and top.
- US/Canada: Canon PowerShot S400 Digital Elph

No Nikon camera we've tested to date balances stills and video capture as well as the Nikon Z7. Though autofocus is less reliable than the D850, Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless gets enough right to earn our recommendation.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. While it's great for lunar and still wildlife photography, we found that it's not suited for much else.
As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
