Canon PowerShot A400
Product Rating 
The Canon PowerShot A400 is designed to be simple to use and is therefore suitable for beginners. The number of megapixels, at 3.2, is more than adequate for a basic point and shoot camera. However, the optical zoom is not huge, at only 2.2x. Many basic point and shoot cameras will offer 3x optical zoom, but the Canon PowerShot A400 is retailing at a very competitive price so don't necessarily be put off by a slightly lower optical zoom. The optical zoom can be combined with the digital zoom for a total zoom factor of about 7x. Using the macro you can take pictures as close as 5cm.
The LCD screen size is 1.5" which, like the optical zoom, is modest but adequate.
The scene modes included in this camera are Auto, Manual, Stitch Assist, Movie and Special scene modes (Portrait, Night Scene, Foliage, Snow, Beach, Fireworks, Underwater, Indoor). The photo effects you can choose are Vivid, Neutral, Low Sharpening, Sepia and Black & White.
With this camera you can take movies up to 3 minutes in length, or up to 30 seconds at VGA quality. Sound recording is available and also playback and in-camera editing. The camera can be connected to the TV for viewing your movies.
The Canon PowerShot A400 can be connected to any Canon Direct Print or PictBridge compatible printer.
There is an optional All Weather Case available for the Canon PowerShot A400 which offers protection to a water depth of 3m.
