Is there any difference between the Canon S400 & S410?

Someone told me the S410 takes shots faster, has white balance and some important features.
But, if the only difference is the quickPrint, then it does not seem worth the extra $100.

yes, the lens is different and startup is faster for the camera, i believe.

I think you are right about the start up being faster, but http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_s410_s500-review/index.shtml says

The S410 and S500 have the exact same lens as the S400. This F2.8-4.9, 3X zoom lens has a focal range of 7.4 - 22.2 mm, which is equivalent to 36 - 108 mm. The lens is not threaded, and no conversion lenses are available.

I know there are hundreds of Canon digital camera gurus out there in this forum. What do you know about these cameras?

I have the S400 and you can manually set the white balance.

they are the same except for the new button.

What about:
shutter lag
Start up time
flash distance?

Yeah that's an amazing price... think I'm going to have to take the plunge myself and get one to replace the trusty old S110.
