Sanyo Xacti DSC-S4 is worth judging as its own Sanyo Xacti / DSC compact cameras body, not just as a generic old compact. Start with condition, the exact battery/card setup, and whether its look fits what you want to shoot.
What owners like
Sanyo Xacti DSC-S4 works best when you want simple snapshots, direct flash, and the relaxed character people look for in older digital compacts rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its compact CCD / CMOS sensor and built-in compact zoom lens are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
What to compare
Compare it with Sanyo Xacti DSC-S3, Sanyo VPC-X350 / Sanyo DSC-V100 / X100, HP Photosmart M525, Polaroid i533 to decide whether you want this exact body, a cheaper nearby compact, or a slightly more capable alternative.
