When I was buying my digital camera one of the feature I had in mind was manual controls. I did not wanted a simple pointand shoot type camera. Being the geek I am, I wanted to tweak the settings a bit to suit my needs. So I settled for Canon S45 first which was stolen and then I bought S50. Both of these cameras have manual controls but only available thru menu. Now after heavy use of these cameras I have come to the conclusion that these controls are not of much value. If you indulge in setting these using the menus – scene being photographed would change. Therefore a S400 would have also fitted the bill.
Conclusion: If you really want to play with manual controls on a camera go for analog controls, the good ol’s rotating dials.

Hi, I like my Canon S400
Canon S4oo is a pretty good camera. There are better versions available now like 410 and 500. But I think 400 was the one which really hit the spot. Given the size of CCD in these cameras I don’t think 4M or 5M would make much difference.
hi just wandered back in
yeah…i got it in january and the 410 etc came out recently?
ah well..it’s good enough for my occasional uses
