The Bottom Line
This is a compact and stylish camera that delivers all the basics quite well. It has everything an average person with everyday use would need. Its four megapixels capture nice images. The lens range is the equivalent of a 36-108 mm on a 35-mm camera. You can print directly to Canon printers, and it actually shoots decent video clips.

Guide Review - Canon Powershot S410
This is a nice camera in a small package. There is nothing spectacular about it, but it does everything a good camera should, and it does it well. It has a selection of shooting modes, including manual, as well as white balance modes, and photo effects. It is compact, although that can make it tough for larger hands to use the controls. The recycling time is up to 10 seconds, which can feel like an eternity in the middle of trying to catch a good shot. Overall, this is a great basic camera and is a step up from the starter cameras.
