Reasons not to buy this camera:
1) Eats up batteries.
2) Extremely delayed point & shoot time (typically around 3 seconds)
3) Bulky and heavy.
I have found this is true with all Canon PowerShot A400s.
Hope this helped.

i just got this camera yeterday its so aweSome i love it i would recomened it to all my friends it has great picture quality and even has a camcorder mode with audio. I cant wait to use this camera but i would also recommend getting a battery pack, thats what the guy at the counter said too because it eats up the batteries so pay a couple extra bucks and get a re-charger...I LOVE IT!

I bought this camera, being a little doubtful. It was a cheap price, and the zoom was not very good. BUT.. when I got home, I realized the camera was outstanding. What was the problem with the zoom?? Only the optical zoom was turned on, the digital zoom needed to be turned on. I turned it on, and then the camera zoomed very well, and still took very clear pictures. Also, it has 2 other GREAT features: Records Videos and Records Audio(Sound).
I really recommend this camera, it is really good, way better than many other cameras, and very cheap. If you are looking for one of the best cameras, at an affordable price, this is the camera for you.

I love this camera! I got it for Christmas last year and it's a great camera! The pictures I take turn out a lot brighter and nicer than with my other digital camera. Also, there's movie mode, which I definitely like. Some things that I don't like on this camera are: it takes up batteries really fast. I recommend you buy a battery charger and four rechargable batteries so you can have two in your camera and two charging and ready to put in when your batteries go dead. Also, the card that comes with the camera only holds about 15-16 pictures, so I suggest you buy a new card also. <br /> <br /> I've dropped this camera many times on a hard floors, and it still works! I really recommend this camera because it's light, easy to carry around, and the pictures turn out great, (in my opinion). I take this camera everywhere with me!!!

This was a wonderful camera, while it lasted. The quality and clarity of pictures taken with it was amazing. Movie mode was easy to use and the mini-movies taken with it were the perfect size to upload to any website.The functions were easy to figure out if you chose not to read the manual.

The draw back? After exactly 25 days of first using the camera, it stopped working. Completely. It will turn on but that's it. No ability to take pictures or view those already taken. I'm not an avid user, I probably used it a total of 10 times. Perhaps this was a defective model I had the misfortune of recieving? In any event I plan to exchange it and see if I have better luck with another one. It was a wonderful camera when it actually worked. The lack of useage life was the reasons for the low star count.

This camera was ok, but not great. It just felt cheap and didn't take great pictures. Its fairly inexpensive but for an extra 50 dollars, I returned this one and got the Kodak 4MP EasyShare and I love it. With the Canon camera it takes forever to actually snap the picture, there is an annoying red flashing light that flashes several times when you go to take a picture, and it also really aggravated everyone I took a picture of. Also the functions on the back of the camera are much more difficult to work with compared to the Kodak camera. The Kodak EasyShare 4MP CX7430 camera takes pictures quicker, is basically idiot proof, ready to use right out of the box, the functions are so simple, has a better zoom, more mega pixels...need I say more!!! Case in point, spend the extra 50 dollars and get yourself a Kodak Easyshare 4MP CX7430, you won't regret it!
