Canon S410 Review - Pros

• Excellent image quality
• Solid ultra compact design
• Quick shot mode

Canon S410 Review - Cons

• Zero scene modes on this camera and two manual controls

• Battery life is only average

Canon S410 Review – Final Word

Even if the Canon S410 lacks the manual controls as well as the scene modes and the high-res video capture that some of its competitors offer, it has enough shooting options to please anyone who just want an ultra compact quality image digital camera.

Very similar to the PowerShot S400 model, the main the feature of the PowerShot S410 is the Print & Share button for easy direct printing.

I love that feature because I print lots of my pictures myself, if you don’t you should get the PowerShot S400 for probably less money.
