Canon Powershot SD400 / IXUS 50 Review
|
Review Summary
Reader Score: 8.68 (out of 10)
The Canon PowerShot SD400 Digital ELPH ($400) is more than just a 5 Megapixel version of the SD300. Canon also added these new features, all of which can also be found on the new SD500; New "Night Display" feature brightens the LCD in low light, My Colors feature lets you highlight and even swap colors right on the camera, and USB 2.0 High Speed support. Otherwise the SD400 is the same as the SD300. That means there's an ultra-thin metal body, DIGIC II processor, 3X zoom lens, 2-inch LCD display, and a nice VGA movie mode.

| At about 4.5 ounces (without batteries), the 5-megapixel Canon PowerShot SD400 is 1.5 ounces lighter than the 7.1-megapixel Canon PowerShot SD500, but otherwise offers very similar features. Like its slightly larger sibling, the SD400 is a pocketable point-and-shooter that takes excellent pictures.

| Announced in February 2005, the SD400 (which goes by the names of Digital IXUS 50 in Europe and IXY DIGITAL 55 in Japan) is the latest in a long line of ultra-compact 'ELPH' or 'IXUS' cameras stretching back to early 2000 (and a lot farther back than that in the film camera world). Like the SD300 before it, the SD400 incorporates two UA (Ultra-high Refractive Index Glass Molded (GMo) Aspherical lens) elements which has allowed Canon to produced its smallest cameras yet to feature a 3x zoom. It may be smaller than a credit card, but Canon has still managed to cram a fairly comprehensive range of features into the SD400 |

| The Canon PowerShot SD400 Digital ELPH was unveiled as part of Canon's wide ranging digital camera announcements at this year's Photo Marketing Association tradeshow. The Canon SD400 is a lot like an SD-card based version of the prior PowerShot S400 in Canon's popular, diminutive Digital ELPH camera line. The Canon SD400 and SD500 models both offer extremely unusual (and frankly, rather cool) "My Color" modes that allow you to selectively replace any color in your photo with a different one, or to make the image black and white with the exception of a single color. The Canon PowerShot SD400 features a high resolution 5.0-megapixel CCD imager, big two-inch LCD, and use of the (very fast) Canon DiGIC II processor. Overall, one of the more appealing subcompact digital cameras we've seen to date. Read on for all the details! |

| Beginning of this year Canon introduced a complete new range of digital cameras, amongst them the new Canon Digital IXUS 50. This extremely compact digital camera, designed on the basis of the previously introduced Canon Digital IXUS 40, is placed in a neatly finished metal housing. Despite its small appearance the Canon IXUS 50 has more to offer than you'd think at first glance. The Canon Digital IXUS 50 doesn't yield in anything to his big brother the Canon Digital IXUS 700. The Digital IXUS guaranteed success from the minute the digital camera was introduced. If it wasn't for the compact size, then it was the beautiful design the consumer went for. |

| Playing about with colours is something most of us do after we have transferred digital pictures from camera to computer. Now you can do it on your camera before you take a picture. Canon's IXUS 50 introduces a new mode called My Colors. It allows you to change the colours in the picture you are about to take. The balance between red, green and blue can be altered, skin can be given pale or tanned effects and one colour can be highlighted with everything else rendered in black and white. Colours can also be swapped.

| This 5-megapixel addition to the Canon PowerShot Digital Elph line has more in common with its 4-megapixel SD300 sibling than it does with the top-of-the-line 7-megapixel SD500. Instead of the slightly larger, curvier body found in its higher-resolution stablemate, this Elph has the same boxy ultracompact frame as the SD300 and shares virtually every other spec except resolution. What you get for your $50 extra is improved image quality-and that might be enough. |
