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.
