automatic.....theres a setting called "auto" where you dont fool with any other settings i think it adjusts them for you

Those are good looking shots indeed. I own the Canon S110, which was one of the first of this series they put out. It is 2.1 MP, which is enough to make perfect 4x6 prints, and I have been VERY happy with it, except for two things: I wish the zoom was better (mine is only 2x), and I wish the movie mode was longer (mine is limited to abuot 20 seconds), because I do take a lot of short action clips when I'm hanging out with my pals and we do stupid stuff. :D I just read on the Canon web site that the movie mode on the S400 is up to 3 minutes long!

I may have to think about upgrading! I was also looking at the new Olympus cameras because they're weather resistant...but they can't record sound in movie mode! How stupid is that?

I got the Canon PowerShot S400 after going to 50 stores and all of them being sold out. I'll post some pics soon.

[aaron901]

do any of you Digital IXUS 400/PowerShot S400 owners have the waterproof case?

[aaron901]

this picture is taken from the Canon site. amaaaaaaaazing...

[aaron901]

another..

seems like it's a very good accessories. :)

[kryptonik]

@aaron901 I don't have one because I know I won't take any underwater photos. I'll stick with the land. :p

[[hxc]]

the thought of taking such an expensive camera underwater even with a waterproof case isnt fun. what if something was defective *shudders* you would be out a couple hundred dollars

I'm so torn right now as to what to buy. Kelden, are you enjoying your camera? I was intially going for the S230 but I hear that night/dark photos may come out fuzzy and only 2x zoom. Now it's between the Canon Powershot S45, Powershot 400 and Olympus Stylus 300.

Yes, I am very happy with it. Why go for the S230 when the S400 is so better a product? Unless you are looking to save money of course.. The Olympus Stylus is very nice. It's another camera I was considering before i went for the S400. Did you know that the Stylus 400 is out now?

I guess just give some thought towards what you want your camera to do and decide from there.

I agree. I could never trust such an expensive camera underwater. Besides, I can't see myself going diving any time soon...

listen to Keldyn, he's got the best 4 megapixels digital camera out there. a combination of great design and great quality. :)

yeah but wouldn't it be fun to take pictures underwater? :)

if i manage to buy the IXUS 400, guess i will buy this accessories... hope the price will come down... it's quite expensive.. :( AUD$340 for a plastic case... :cry:

I was so blown away by the quality of the pics... that I went and bought one :D... I'm a little disapointed at some of the pics I took.. but I think I just need to practice or get more aquainted with it.

any tips?

I am trying to save money. But I notice that if I go cheap now, I will most likely regret it a month or two down the line. I know about the Stylus 400 but not sure if I actually want to spend the money for a 4 megapixel. I mentioned the 300 along with the other 2 as it's the cheaper one that I'm considering right now. I can't really say that I will be taking pics all of the times...more for the occasional event or get togethers etc. Because of this, I'm a little reluctant to spend 500 on a camera. I may just pick up the Stylus 300 at a Circuit City and give it a shot for 2 wks. If anything, I could always return it if I don't like.
