SHIPPING POLICIES AND RELATED SHIPPING
INFORMATION
· Beginning July 9, 2023, USPS will combine USPS
Retail Ground®, USPS First-Class Package®, and USPS Parcel Select Ground®
services into a single service: USPS Ground Advantage™.
· The same labeling and shipping rules that
applied to USPS Parcel Select Ground® continue to apply with USPS Ground
Advantage™ because lithium batteries are considered a Hazardous material.
· These rules apply to both Apple products with
lithium-ion batteries and to used digital cameras with proprietary or AA lithium-ion
batteries.
· Digital cameras that require AA batteries may be
shipped with AA Alkaline or AA Lithium as noted in the listing copy. If these digital cameras contain AA Lithium
batteries they are subject to the same shipping and labeling requirements that
apply to all other lithium batteries.
WHY LITHIUM-ION?
FROM THE APPLE SUPPORT WEB SITE
· Compared with older generations
of battery technology, lithium-ion batteries charge
faster, last longer, and have a higher power density for more battery life
in a lighter package. Rechargeable lithium-ion technology currently
provides the best technology for your many devices.
CONDENSED FROM DIGITAL CAMERA MAKER
WEBSITES
· The most common theme concerning why lithium-ion
batteries are frequently used in digital cameras is that they provide a longer
battery life and a more consistent power delivery even in colder situations.
LABELING REQUIREMENTS
· Two lithium battery warning labels must now be
affixed to all USPS packages with used products that contain lithium
batteries. These labels are shown at the end of listing photos.
PROBLEMS SHIPPING USED DIGITAL CAMERAS
INTERNATIONALLY
· Because a substantial majority of digital cameras utilize
lithium-ion batteries, eBay does not permit shipping of used digital cameras as
part of their International Shipping Program.
· For this reason, all of my listings with used iPods and used digital
cameras are marked for the US market only.
BUYER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE THE

Review Date 04/14/03
Introduction
Ask a
photographer, either professional or amateur, to name the a couple of camera
manufacturers and chances are one would be Canon. In the digital arena, Canon's
continued their history of innovation, with a broad line of products ranging
from entry-level models all the way to no-holds-barred digital SLRs for professional
photographers. In the consumer arena, their products are distinguished by
superb design, sharp lenses, and excellent color.
In both
the film and digital worlds, Canon is known for their high-style, diminutive
"ELPH" cameras. Long a popular APS film camera design, Canon brought
the ELPH size and styling to the digital world with the original S100. The S400
launches the fourth generation of the design, with a larger, 4.0-megapixel CCD.
Other improvements include a Center-Weighted metering mode option, faster
maximum shutter speed (1/2,000 second), and improved macro capabilities. Add an
improved user interface, easy point-and-shoot operation, a sharp lens, and
great image quality, and the S400 is sure to please a host of consumers. Read
on for all the details, this one looks like another winner from Canon.
Camera Overview
The
latest in Canon's digital ELPH series, the S400 continues the line's tiny
dimensions and stylish looks. Portable and quick on the draw (thanks to its
smooth retractable lens design), the S400 offers point-and-shoot control with a
handful of extra exposure features. Its flat front panel (with lens retracted)
makes the camera pocket friendly, while the aluminum body panels keep it rugged
yet lightweight. Equipped with a 4.0-megapixel CCD and a sharp lens, the S400
captures high quality images, suitable for printing photos as large as 8x10
inches with nice detail, even with some cropping. Smaller resolutions are also
available for email transmission, and a movie mode captures short videos with
sound.
The
S400 features a 3x, 7.4-22.2mm glass zoom lens, equivalent to a 36-108mm zoom
on a 35mm camera. Aperture is automatically controlled, but the maximum setting
ranges from f/2.8 at full wide angle to f/4.9 at full telephoto. A maximum 3.6x
digital zoom option increases the S400's zoom capabilities to 11x, but keep in
mind that digital zoom decreases the overall image quality in direct proportion
to the magnification achieved, as it simply crops out and enlarges the center
pixels of the CCD image. Image noise is likely to be more prominent with
digital zoom, and details softer. Focus ranges from 1.5 feet (46 centimeters)
to infinity in normal AF mode, and from 2.0 inches to 1.5 feet (5 to 46
centimeters) in Macro mode. An Infinity fixed-focus mode is also available. The
S400 uses Canon's sophisticated, nine-point AiAF (Artificial Intelligence
Autofocus) system to determine focus, which examines a broad active area in the
center of the image to calculate the focal distance. Also built into the S400
is a bright AF assist light, which aids the focus mechanism in low lighting.
For composing images, the S400 has a real-image optical viewfinder, as well as
a 1.5-inch color LCD monitor. (In my testing, the S400's optical viewfinder was
rather tight, but the LCD monitor showed almost exactly 100% of the final image
area.) The LCD reports a fair amount of camera information, but excludes
exposure information such as aperture and shutter speed. In Playback mode, a
histogram display reports the tonal distribution of a captured image, useful in
determining any over and underexposure.
Like
the rest of the ELPH line, exposure control is automatic. The S400 does provide
some manual adjustments, however, as well as a range of exposure modes for
specific shooting situations. The Mode dial on the rear panel controls the main
operating mode, offering Auto, Manual, Stitch-Assist, and Movie modes. A Mode
switch on the back panel offers Record and Playback settings. Shutter speeds
range from 1/2,000 to 15 seconds, with the 1.3- to 15-second end of the range
only available in Long Shutter mode (which also automatically invokes a Noise
Reduction system to reduce image noise in longer exposures). In straight Auto
mode, the camera essentially controls everything about the exposure except for
file size, flash, etc. Manual mode provides more hands-on control, with White
Balance, Exposure Compensation, ISO, and a host of creative effects. Camera
operation is straightforward and simple, as you literally just point and shoot
most of the time. Pressing the Shutter button halfway sets focus and exposure,
and the small LEDs next to the optical viewfinder let you know when the camera
is ready to take the picture.
The
S400 uses an Evaluative metering system, which means that the camera divides
the image area into zones and evaluates contrast and brightness across the
entire image to determine the best overall exposure. A Spot metering option
ties the exposure to the very center of the frame, and is useful for off-center
or high contrast subjects, as you can shift the metering region to pinpoint the
exact area of the frame to base the exposure on. There's also a Center-Weighted
metering option, which bases the exposure on a large area in the center of the
frame. Exposure Compensation brightens or darkens the overall exposure from -2
to +2 exposure equivalents (EV) in one-third step increments. A White Balance
option offers Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent H, and
Custom (manual) settings. The S400 also offers a creative Photo Effects menu,
which adjusts sharpening, color, and saturation. Sensitivity equivalents
include 50, 100, 200, and 400 ISO settings, as well as an Auto adjustment. The
S400's built-in flash operates in Auto, Forced On, Suppressed, Red-Eye Reduction,
and Slow-Synchro modes. You can also lock the flash exposure in a similar
manner to locking normal exposure. Pressing the Shutter button halfway and
keeping it pressed initiates the exposure lock, signaled by two beeps. Pressing
the metering-pattern button (the up-arrow button) while you're still holding
down the shutter button fires the flash, locking the flash exposure as well.
When this is done, an "FEL" icon appears in the LCD monitor until the
Shutter button is released or fully pressed.
A two-
or 10-second self-timer option counts down by flashing a small LED on the front
of the camera before firing the shutter, giving you time to duck around the
camera and get into the shot. Stitch-Assist mode is the S400's panoramic
shooting mode, which lets you shoot as many as 26 consecutive images with the
same exposure and white balance. The series of images can then be
"stitched" together into one panoramic frame with the accompanying
software. The S400 also has a Movie Record mode, which records moving images
with sound for up to three minutes per clip, depending on the resolution
setting and amount of memory card space. (Movies are recorded at either 320 x
240, or 160 x 120 pixels.) Finally, a Continuous Shooting mode captures a
series of consecutive images (much like a motor drive on a traditional camera),
at approximately 1.5 frames per second, for as long as the Shutter button is
held down. The actual frame rate will vary with the resolution setting, and the
total number of images will depend on the amount of memory card space and file
size. Through the Record menu, a High Speed Continuous Shooting mode is also
available, capturing images as fast as 2.5 frames per second. (See my
"picky details" page for detailed timing of these modes, along with
information on buffer-memory capacity, etc.)
The My
Camera settings menu lets you customize camera settings to a specific theme.
Everything from the startup image to operating sounds can be assigned to a
theme, either one of the preprogrammed themes or one downloaded via the host
software. The S400 also lets you record short sound clips to accompany captured
images, via the Sound Memo option, great for lively captions to vacation photos
or party shots.
The
S400 stores images to CompactFlash Type I memory cards. A 32MB card accompanies
the camera, but I strongly recommend picking up a larger capacity card so you
won't limit your shooting due to insufficient card space (CompactFlash cards
are available as large as one gigabyte). The camera uses a rechargeable lithium-ion
battery pack for power, which accompanies the camera, along with the necessary
battery charger. Because the S400 does not accommodate AA-type or other readily
available batteries, I advise picking up an additional battery pack and keeping
it freshly charged. The optional AC adapter is useful for preserving battery
power when reviewing and downloading images, and actually has a
"dummy" battery that inserts into the camera's battery compartment to
couple the power adapter to the power contacts. (Most users would find a second
rechargeable battery more useful though, at least in my opinion.) A USB cable
and interface software are also packaged with the camera, for downloading
images to a computer and performing minor organization and corrections. Two
software CDs provide the necessary drivers and editing software, both
compatible with Windows and Macintosh platforms, but no added driver software
is required with Windows XP or Macintosh OS X. One CD holds Canon's Digital
Camera Solution Disk version 12.0 and the other features ArcSoft's Camera Suite
version 1.2. Finally, an A/V cable connects the S400 to a television set, for
reviewing and composing images. The S400 is DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
compatible, with detailed print settings in the Playback menu. Canon offers a
selection of direct-connect printers as well, which simplify printing even
more. (Read my review of Canon's excellent little CP-100 photo printer for an
example of one of these.)
Recommendation
Canon's
"Digital ELPH" cameras have proven popular with consumers, thanks to
their tiny size and reputation for quality, both in construction and in the
images they deliver. The PowerShot S400 Digital ELPH updates and extends the
line with a 4.0-megapixel CCD for higher resolution images. The increased
resolution lets you print images as large as 8x10 inches with good detail, even
with some cropping, and lower resolution settings are good for printing
snapshots or sending to family and friends via email. Although exposure control
is mainly automatic, the availability of exposures up to 15 seconds, adjustable
ISO, and flexible white balance and color saturation options increases the
camera's exposure versatility. The uncomplicated user interface is comfortable
for novices and more advanced users alike, with simple operation for the
novices, and enough variable exposure control to keep the advanced folks happy.
All in all, an excellent "all around" digicam that just happens to
live inside a super-compact case.
Test Results
In
keeping with my standard test policy, the comments given here summarize only my
key findings. For a full commentary on each of the test images, see the S400's
"pictures" page.
As with
all Imaging Resource product tests, I encourage you to let your own eyes be the
judge of how well the camera performed. Explore the images on the pictures
page, to see how S400's images compare to other cameras you may be considering.
Color: The S400 produced excellent color
throughout my testing, with accurate results under a wide variety of lighting
conditions. Color saturation was typically just about right, and hue was nearly
always dead-on (even with the difficult blue flowers in the outdoor and indoor
portraits). Strong additive primaries such as red and blue were generally just
slightly oversaturated, but the effect was slight indeed. Skin tones were
typically accurate as well, with just a hint more pink than the actual color of
the subject. White balance was very good under virtually all light sources,
even the very difficult household incandescent lighting of my "indoor
portrait" test, although that light source required either the
Incandescent or Manual white balance settings to produce good results. I
noticed a tendency for the Auto and Daylight settings to run slightly warm, and
the Manual setting to be a little cool and greenish, but once again the effects
were very slight, and overall color was really excellent.
Exposure: The S400's metering
system accurately gauged exposure under most of my lighting as well. As is
typical, it underexposed the very high-key outdoor portrait shot, but required
very little positive exposure compensation to correct the exposure nicely. It
also underexposed the indoor portrait shot somewhat, both with and without
flash, and required a little more positive exposure compensation to achieve a
good exposure. (The amount of positive compensation required for this was on
par with other consumer digicams I've tested though.) On my "Davebox"
test, the S400 had no trouble distinguishing the subtle pastel tones on the Q60
target, while still holding good detail in the deep shadows. Overall, an
excellent job.
Resolution/Sharpness: The S400 performed
very well on the"laboratory" resolution test chart. It started
showing artifacts in the test patterns at resolutions as low as 800 lines per
picture height vertically, and around 700 lines horizontally. I found
"strong detail" out to at least 1,100 lines vertically and 1,200
lines horizontally. "Extinction" of the target patterns didn't occur
until about 1,300 - 1,400 lines. Overall, a very good performance for a compact
digicam.
Closeups: The S400 performed
well in the macro category, capturing a minimum area of only 2.70 x 2.03 inches
(69 x 51 millimeters), which is slightly better than average. Resolution was
very high, with strong detail in the coins and brooch. Details are soft in the
dollar bill, likely due to the S400's AiAF focusing system, which focused on
the closest object to the lens (the brooch). There was more softness in the
corners in this shot, but this is a very common failing of the macro modes of
consumer digicams, so the S400 doesn't deserve any special criticism in this
area. The S400's flash almost throttled down enough for the macro area, though
it overexposed the top of the frame and produced a shadow in the bottom
portion. (You should be able to get decent flash pictures in macro mode, as
long as you're backed off slightly from the very closest focusing distance.)
Night Shots: It's really
"buried" in the user interface, but the S400 has a slow-shutter mode
that turns it into a great low-light performer. You have to first enable
long-shutter mode in the record-mode setup menu, then go to the first entry on
the Function menu (Exposure Compensation) and press the Set button to set the
exposure time over a range of 1-15 seconds. Once you find it though, the
long-exposure mode works great. In my tests, the S400 captured usable images
down to the 1/16 foot-candle limit of my test even at ISO 50, and bright ones
at that light level at all higher ISOs. All photos were well-focused, even at
the darkest light levels. The only catch is that the camera's exposure metering
system isn't available in long-shutter mode, making it something of a manual,
hit-or-miss operation finding the right exposure. (The optional histogram
display comes in very handy for this.) In normal exposure mode, the camera's
maximum one-second exposure time should let you capture good photos in normal
city streetlighting (~1 foot-candle) at all ISO settings. In long-shutter mode
though, you can easily shoot under much darker conditions.
Viewfinder Accuracy: The S400's optical
viewfinder is quite tight at the wide angle end, as it showed only 79 percent
of the final frame. At telephoto, the optical viewfinder showed approximately
84 percent frame accuracy, still on the low side. The LCD monitor is more
accurate, actually just a little loose, seeming to show slightly more than what
appears in the final frame. My standard measurement lines were just cut off on
the top and left sides, but I'd have to consider this to be within the margin
of error for this test. Given that I like LCD monitors to be as close to 100
percent accuracy as possible, the S400's LCD monitor is excellent in this
regard, although I'd really like to see a more accurate optical VF.
Optical Distortion: Optical distortion on
the S400 was slightly better than average at the wide-angle end, where I
measured approximately 0.7 percent barrel distortion. (This is just slightly
better than average among cameras I've tested, but I'd still really like to see
much less geometric distortion in digicam images than this.) The telephoto end
fared much better, as I measured only one pixel of pincushion distortion.
Chromatic aberration was low, showing only very faint coloration on either side
of the target lines. (This distortion is visible as a very slight colored
fringe around the objects at the edges of the field of view on the resolution
target.) The most obvious distortion was some corner softness (caused by coma?)
in the corners of the image, particularly in the upper corners. All in all
though, the S400's lens did a very nice job, particularly for a subcompact
camera model.
Battery Life: The PowerShot S400 uses one Li-Ion rechargeable battery
for power. Unfortunately, I couldn't measure its power consumption as I
generally do, because it uses a nonstandard "dummy battery" power
adapter connection. I did time how long the camera would run from a
freshly-charged battery in its worst-case power consumption mode (capture mode
with the LCD turned on), and found that it turned in a slightly shorter than
average (for a compact digicam) run time of approximately 60 minutes. As
always, I strongly advise purchasing a second battery along with the S400, so
you can bring along a fully charged spare on long outings.
Conclusion
The
quality, versatility, and image quality of Canon's Digital ELPH series has
impressed me from the start, and the 4.0-megapixel S400 holds true to that
tradition. The camera's tiny size makes it a worthy travel companion, and the
range of features give it an edge over many other point-and-shoot style
digicams in the marketplace, particularly some other subcompact models.
Although actual exposure control remains automatic, the ability to adjust ISO
and White Balance, and access longer shutter times increases the camera's
shooting flexibility quite a bit. The four-megapixel CCD produces great image
quality and accurate color, and the S400's lens is better than that on many
subcompact cameras. Representing the fourth generation in the ELPH series, the
S400 maintains Canon's reputation for great quality in a very portable digicam.
My earlier characterization probably sums it up best: An excellent "all
around" digicam, that just happens to live inside a super-compact case.
Highly recommended.
