The good: Solid, compact body; low-shutter-lag Quick Shot mode; excellent image quality.
The bad: Few manual controls and no scene modes; slow autofocus in dim light; small viewfinder; no 640x480 video capture.
The bottom line: This 4-megapixel Canon PowerShot S410 pocket camera offers few manual controls or special features but delivers solid image quality and performance.
The top surface sports a microphone, a speaker, a power-indicator LED, a shutter release encircled by a zoom lever, and an on/off button that's recessed to prevent powering down by accident. You can trip the shutter and operate the seven-step zoom lens with just your forefinger, which makes one-handed shooting easy.
