3 Stars Picture quality disapointing
After receiving the 1400 I did side by side tests with a Canon 1300IS and a Panasonic DMC-DS5. Based strictly on picture quality the 1400 finished last. If you like the tiny size of this camera stick with the 1300. The best picture quality was from the Panasonic and the bigger size felt better in my hand and was also comfortable in my pocket. I thought Canons were the best value, but now I’m a Panasonic guy.

5 Stars The Canon SD1400 is one of the most attractive ELPHs Canon has designed.
I bought the SD1400IS for its compact size (the slimmest DigiCam around) and its plethora of features, all at a bargain price of $219.

Initially I was disappointed with the image quality of the camera, as it is too noisy. But you can’t expect a compact cam to capture noise-less images. The previous model – the SD1300IS is known to have better image quality than the SD1400IS, however, if you are not going to use the image for poster prints, and won’t be needing to see each and every pixel of the 14MP Image, then you’ll soon find the pictures to be Excellent.

The New Smart Auto mode works quite well and surprisingly quickly.

Macro images are sharp and clear.

The HD Video (720p) quality is good, but don’t compare it with a camcorder,

The exterior has smooth and sleek rounded edges and feels nice taking pictures.

Continuous shooting is slower than my previous model – SD790IS.

Also I miss the Quick-Select Dial on the SD790IS. Selecting the desired Program Mode on the SD1400 does take longer.

Face Detection Self-timer and Smile Shutter are good add-ons, though difficult to set giving the recessed buttons and lengthy menu selection using 2 buttons only.

Its got a mini HDMI output, but Canon doesn’t include the HDMI cable with it, correctly to reduce unnecessary cost.

Battery/Memory compartment is nicer than before, and can take constant opening and closing for a long life. Battery Life is excellent as usual.

Overall, the Camera is worth the price I paid for it, and I got what I really needed. An excellent compact DigiCam.

But If you are one of those who like to print images on A4 size or more, I suggest you look at the SD1300IS or the Canon SX210IS.

5 Stars great camera
great camera for the price. The only thing that is a little diffrent is the zoom switch. it is a little small and slow to find. but I would not take points from the camera for that. does a great job with taking pictures of the kids. considering they never realy hold still.

4 Stars Great little camera
I first bought the $400 Sony DSC-TX7. I have always been a Canon girl but the Sony blew me away with the large display screen and easy to use toch screen features. I really wanted to love the Sony but ended up returning it. I bought this little Canon 1400is and compared it side by side with the Sony. The Sony oversaturated the colors and if it is low light at all, even with the flash, people came out very red in color, sometimes their faces would be okay but neck down very very red. Also, the low light capabilties of the Sony were very dissapointing even with the flash. I am reading these recent reviews of the Canon and many complain about the quality of the photos but I am just now seeing it. I dropped and broke my old Canon, wish I still had it to compare side by side photos with this Canon. I wish it came with a bigger viewing screen, that was a great asset on the Sony. Love the Canon’s black and white, sepia, and black and white with one color feature, very fun! The ease of using all of the features takes a little time to adjust to, the Sony was a breeze. All that said, I am still happy with my decision to keep this camera and return the other, even though I had to give up the large and fun touch screen on the Sony. Picture quality is the most important thing on any camera as far as I am concerned and I feel this little Canon does a great job.

4 Stars Great camera, but missing time lapse
I had a SD100IS which had time lapse option for video. This one is supposed to be an upgrade of that, but they dropped the option for time lapse and my inquiries to Canon they have said it doesn’t have the option and that “not all options can be included in all cameras” – but WHY TAKE AWAY OPTIONS ? They also said no firmware update would be made for that option. I thought camera’s IMPROVE on newer versions, not take away options. I might have gone back and bought another SD1100IS but just kept this one. Be careful with all Canon cameras – the reason I don’t have my SD1100 anymore is because literally a few DROPS of water touched it for a few SECONDS and FRIED THE LCD. The amount of water that touched it equaled the amount in an eye dropper and it was wiped off immediately.

Tiffen 58mm UV Protection Filter

Tiffen 58mm UV Protection Filter

Film, as well as video, often exhibits a greater sensitivity to what is to us invisible, ultraviolet light. This is most often outdoors, especially at high altitudes, where the UV-absorbing atmosphere is thinner; and over long distances, such as marine scenes. It can show up as a bluish color cast with color film, or it can cause a low-contrast haze that diminishes details, especially when viewing far-away objects, in either color or black-and-white. Ultraviolet filters absorb UV light generally without affecting light in the visible region. It is important to distinguish between UV-generated haze and that of air-borne particles, such as smog. The latter is made up of opaque matter that absorbs visible light as well as UV, and will not be appreciably removed by a UV filter.The UV Protector shields lens from dust, moisture, scratches, and breakage.

5 Stars It is a good filter
I will begin by saying I am not a professional photographer.

I bought this to protect my Canon 18-135mm 3.5-5.6f lens. It arrived in fine condition, and was very easy to attach.

I have noticed no abnormalities in image quality, and it’s perfectly fine (and cheap enough) for my purposes.

3 Stars Portable Guy’s return policy
Can anybody tell me Portable Guy’s return policy or how to contact them? I get nothing but a circular set of instructions that bounce me back and forth between PG and Amazon and a message “Portable Guy has not specified their refund and returns policy” –I am at thomach3@yahoo.com

5 Stars Works For Me
It fits my Panasonic DMC-FZ35 and protects that great Leica lens so I’m happy with it. I must confess that I was momentarily confused as I’d expected it to mount on the outer ring, but it fits on the lens itself. Just extend it and it fits like a charm. I personally feel quite relieved knowing that the lens won’t accidentally get dinged or scratched while I’m using the camera. I’m not intending to play catch with it, but why take the risk when you don’t need to.

5 Stars A purchase absolutely necessary
It filter improve a little the image quality, furthermore it works like a shield anti scratches or any lens damage.

You must have one.

5 Stars Tiffen 58mm UV Protection Filter
Received quickly. Good vendor.

Good quality product.

I always use a protective lense on my lenses. That is why I still have and are using lenses I purchesed in 1974, and they are like new.
