I have the Canon A1300 and it is bad about often giving blurry pictures and blurry videos. Does the Canon A1400 have this same problem ?

I bought the Canon A1400 for my grandson. He loves to take pictures with it and we have not noticed any problem with blurry pictures. Occasionallythe videos are blurry but I think that because he swings the camera back and forth too fast.

I thought I had that problem...but, I really didn't. Sometimes when I aim at camera at a scene I want to photograph, that scene is blurry. However, it does not last. I lightly click the button that takes the picture, without pushing it down hard enough to take that picture. Every time, so far, the image rights itself and is no longer blurry, but sharp. I believe every time I have had the blurry image appear, it has been in daylight and on auto setting.

Yes, I regret buying this camera due to the shutter lag- which ultimately seems to result in blurred photos if the subject is moving. The older canon Powershots like the sx100 did not have this problem.

This is a wonderful camera. Takes beautiful pictures with a lot of clarity, the pictures stay clear even when zoomed all the way out. The only problem I have found is that if you have it on auto focus when recording video it will adjust and blur sometimes. Otherwise it is awesome!

I actually tried the HF S200 and was disappointed with its low light performance, so I returned it and placed an order for the HF M400. I don't need all of the bells and whistles, and still photos are not a requirement for me for a video camera. I think their logic in using the pro sensor makes sense. I got the same response when I asked Canon. If you compare them side by side though, the only thing the HF M400 is missing is some of the manual controls, the ability to take high-quality still photos, and a larger display. Other than that, for pure video quality and low light performance, the HF M400 should come out on top (I hope).

I'm an armature photographer.. but have explored both d3100 and a33..1) similar image quality..2) both do 1080p HD video with auto focus but sony gets a bit warm (hot for some) while video recording.. although I've yet to record for this long3) sony is a tiny bit smaller..check out their detailed reviews at dpreview.com.. they helped me make my decision..

Our camera has a same issue. It was bought 3 years back. The problem started when any picture with Zoom came out blurred. Now, all pictures are blurred.

How about a Canon Tx-1? I got a brand new US model on fleabay for $285. It's a fantastic point & shoot and takes 720p video. Best of all, it has beautiful Canon optics with a 10x zoom lens that is active while shooting movies.Negatives are tiny controls (what do you expect on a camera this powerful in this small form factor), tiny screen (ditto), and m-jpeg compression for the AVI files.Check it out. It's a fantastic camera.

No and the camera often has trouble focusing. So lots of your photos will be blurry

Get the elph 330.. i bought the elph 130 at christmas (already own 2 elph 110 cameras which are excellent-much better than the 130). anyway, returned the elph 130 pics were noisy, lighting not good. just got the elph 330 in pink and its fantastic. was going to get the newer elph 340 but reviews from tech sites were not good. the elph 330 is a great camera

I purchased this camera-refurbished- with high hopes. Had lots of nice features and I had no problems with it except I thought it wasn't taking pictures very sharply. I have an older Sony Alpha that shoots at 10 mp. I did a comparison using the same lenses shooting both cameras. The 10 meg was sharper than this 16 MP, so I returned for that reason. Had no problems with it turning on, just had either a bad or inferior focusing mechanism/sensor.

Yes, this is very noisy in low light and above 400 ISO. I have a friend who takes simple family snapshots with the same camera, and it's fine for her. But for myself, and probably for you, the camera is just not good enough.

I'm not happy with my Sony DSCW120, too sensitive, get a lot of blurry pictures...a real let down:(

What else did you try that helped? When I use any amount of telephoto indoors the result is blurry unless I use a flash.

yes, the Canon PowerShot A1300 has an optical viewfinder, as well as the LCD screen, so you can line-up your shots either way you prefer. And, the viewfinder "zooms" with the optical zoom lens on the camera.

I've had an A540 for 2 years now and I love it. Image shake was never a problem at all...I'd be walking along taking photos and rarely did I get blurred photos. I have dropped this camera lots of times and it was fine. I takes excellent photos and I use it all the time. The bad thing is the poor quality of night photos..very poor compared to other peoples photos I seen. The batteries are just now becoming a pain! All of a sudden I'm going through batteries like there's no tomorrow (disposable ones). This wasn't a problem until recently. I am now shopping for another canon but one that takes better photos in low light. I've had an A540 for 2 years now and I love it.

Same question for me. Most reviews seem to prefer the Canon for picture quality, but I'm concerned about the ease of use.
