The Canon IXUS 50 / Powershot SD400 is an ultra-thin camera with an all-metal body. It’s very well put together for the most part, save for that plastic door over the memory card and battery compartment. Camera performance is superb, and probably the best in its class (along with the other SD models). The camera starts up in a little over a second and it’s fast at just about everything. The continuous shooting and movie modes are both first-rate. The SD400 has a 2-inch LCD display that automatically gains up in low light. Speaking of low light, the AF-assist lamp helped the camera focus well in darker rooms. The SD400’s support for the USB 2.0 High Speed protocol means less time waiting for your photos to be transferred to your computer. Once there you’ll find Canon’s software to be better than average.
