Summary: The best I've ever seen!
Review: The Canon S110 Digital ELPH camera is the BEST! I have just purchased mine today, and it was well worth the money (...). If you are reading this and trying to decide on the S100, or the S110, buy the S110 RIGHT NOW! I almost bought the S100, since it was cheaper, but I am glad that I held off and purchased the S110. The digital video is AWESOME, and the camera makes a stanger say "hey, what is the LITTLE thing?" You look COOL when you whip this thing out of your pocket and snap a photo or a VIDEO of something, while everyone else has to open their pack up to find their camera. The ONLY few MINOR things that could be a LITTLE bothersome are: this sucker doubles as a heater when used for extended periods of time (HOT!), and the "snap picture" button does take a little long to take the picture (but this is only due to the fact the the camera sets the resolution, light, and other stuff right before the shot is taken). If you want a staight amswer, here it is : BUY THE CAMERA!!!! If you don't you'll wish you'd bought it. Simple as that.

Summary: Excellent camera
Review: The reason I bought a digital camera was to store pictures and x-rays (...). Picture quality and portability were very important to me and this camera offers both. The black and white feature proved very useful when I take pictures of x-rays. The macro mode works excellent and allows someone to take pictures of CT or MRI views with very good clarity. The greatest feature of the camera is its size. It allows me to carry my camera everywhere (OR, clinic). Although bigger (and more expensive cameras ) may have more features (that you probably never use) and better resolution I'm not sure that the difference is great and worthwile the hastle of carrying a big bag arround. You will definitely need a bigger memory card (I bought a 128MB). The battery life is satisfactory although I am getting a second battery through Canon's special offer. The software is very good and allows to create an easy to use archive of your pictures. Although my laptop (Compaq Pressario 1610) has windows 95 which I upgraded to 98, I had no problem with the USB port as other customers (even Canon) suggested.
The camera does not come with a case which is quite unfortunate considering the price. I bought through Canon a case for Canon Elph (not the digital model)which is cheap, not bulky, and the camera fits in perfeclty. Although this is my first digital camera I am very satisfied with the purchase and the camera has done her job brilliantly. Congratulations to Canon for this gadget.

Summary: brave new world
Review: I can carry it in my pocket at dawn, capture a sunrise, or the fog lifting from the swale. I find myself a guerrilla photographer in the house, taking chances on my pets in funny positions. All of these are shots I never would have gotten with my large 35mm camera and its big lens.
The size and lightness is its best feature. I carry it with me almost everywhere. The photos are good in mid range, and excellent at its highest resolution. It is easy to use, the keys are not too small, and the battery lasts reasonably if you don't keep it on after downloading your photos. I recommend it highly.

Summary: Amazing Toy !
Review: This toy is really amazing. For all you folks out there who just want a digital camera for some fun, this is the best buy.
I did fair amount of research and in fact cancelled my coolpix 775 order before getting this one.
The first thing which struck me is its size; boy its small....the battery charger is the same size as the actual camera !
Just add a cf memory card adapter and you have a swell combination with canon's current memory+bag+battery offer.
Just buy it !

Summary: I absolutely LOVE this camera
Review: I bought the Canon PowerShot S110 as a supplement to my Nikon SLR (big, film camera that takes great pictures). Instead, I seem to have displaced the Nikon forever. The Canon's small size allows me to take it where I would never take my SLR. Thus, the joy of capturing so much more on film makes this camera tops in my book. This is all due to the very small size of the camera, but the camera would not be a favorite if it were not for the high quality prints. The camera operates very easily, comes with built in flash, a 2x zoom (and an additional digital zoom), the ability to switch between black and white photos, color photos, or small movie clips with sound. The camera supports any Type I sized Compact Flash memory card. I recently bought a 256MB CF card that stores over 260 of the highest quality pictures or literally thousands of lower quality pictures. Battery life is fully acceptable. One battery gave me about 175 photos using the LCD screen and the flash. The battery recharges very quickly. The software is excellent, installed easily, and helps you to easily download and manage your photos. No matter what OS you will use, you will always be able to download photos through the USB connection. Software allows you to view, crop, and digitally alter your photos AND movies. So, you can add frames, borders to each print. Also, you can cut and paste prints on top of each other. So you can take that picture of the the Pyramids, and implant your baby girl on top of them. (If you ever wanted to do something like that, of course) One of the most unique pieces of software allows you to take multiple pictures of a panorama. Then, the software automatically connects each photo for one perfect panorama shot. My picture of the French town of Cap Ferrat is awesome. The camera takes great photos. The 2.1 Megapixel size should suffice for normal operations. At the highest quality the photos are suitable for printing up to 20" * 30" although they may show signs of graininess. If you buy a higher Megapixel camera, remember that each photo needs more storage. So, a 4 Mpixel camera would need a 512MB Compact flash card to store the same quality and same number of images as mine. The #1 feature of this camera is the size. It's simply phenomenal. The picture taking is great, and the movie capability is the icing on the cake.

Summary: Exceeded My expectations
Review: First off this camera rocks! (...) Okay, lets face it even if you spent $1500 on a top of the line digital camera it will never compare to a $400 Film SLR camera. And that's what i realized when i went to purchase a digital camera. Size of camera/quality/price were the deciding factors. so using this criteria i didn't want a bulky digital camera that wouldn't fit in my pocket. This ELPH turned out to produce extremely good resolution pictures. It has 3 resolutions and each resolution has 3 compression settings. I have hooked it up to both Mac and Wintel boxes with no problems. Plug and play is what this camera and software are all about. My friends were very impressed as well. there seems to be a large difference between 1 and 2 megapixel cameras. but the difference between 2 and 3 didn't appear to be as great. 2.1 megapixels are enough for most snap shots. I tried out the 360 degree panorama feature and it really is amazing how the software stiched the shots together. Very easy. your mother could probably do it. it was seamless stitching. it blew me away. Also it records movies with no stuttering. it saves them to the flash module in the AVI format. For a mac guy like me that was no problem AVI is compatible with any quicktime equipped Macintosh...and every mac comes with quicktime. The camera records sound too. but you cannot play back the movie with sound because there is no built in speaker. don't worry the sound is there and will easily download to your computer. One caveat, there does however appear to be a difference in composition when using the display to compose a shot versus the viewfinder. The viewfinder in inaccurate. But, I prefer the display instead so this is not a problem. Also to better appreciate this camera be sure to make the investment in a larger flash module. A 32MB module will allow you 31 pictures in 1600x1200 (largest resolution) Or 144 pictures in 640x480 ( the smallest resolution ). (...) even with this sale your still saving money and getting more than what i did from the good guys. BTW: I imagine this sale has something to do with a new generation of megapixel cameras coming soon. I would jump in on this one instead of waiting. this camera will still beat your cheapo film camera with the plastic lens, it even beats the film ELPH that i gave to my mother a few years back. If there is a longer life battery then get one too. Otherwise get as is and enjoy . You won't be sorry.

Summary: Best pocket sized 2mp.
Review: Currently, the two most popular pocket sized 2mp cameras are the S110 and the Nikon 775. I work at a camera store. Since these are the two cameras we sell the most of, I wanted to see for myself which one took better pictures. I tripod mounted each one and made the settings the same: auto white balance, high resolution JPEG possible, no flash, timer exposure (as to avoid camera shake). I printed out an 8x10 of each (which is about as big as you'd want to go with a 2mp camera). They weren't color corrected, just straight prints. The Canon was visibly sharper, and the white balance had been much more accurately corrected than the Nikon had. All of the lighting in the store is flourescent. Without a flash, pictures taken under florescent light tend to come out yellow. The picture from the Nikon was a lot more yellow and a lot darker. The Canon, although not *perfect*, looked much more true to life. Of course you can always fix this on the computer, but the fact remains, the auto white balance on the Canon worked better. The three advantages the Nikon has over the Canon are: better macro, slightly bigger zoom and the ability to use a 2CR5 lithium battery (and not *just* the rechargable it comes with). Other than that, the Canon is in my opinion is better in every way. If you do want a Canon with a bigger zoom, check out the S300 (you get a bigger zoom, but keep in mind the body is a little bigger than the S110). Canon's software is better, plus the body is metal and very well crafted. Highly recommended for someone looking for a travel sized camera and not requiring prints larger than 8x10.

Summary: Sleek Little Camera!
Review: I have had the Canon PowerShot S110 Digital ELPH Camera for a month now, and I love it! The compact size is why I initially chose this camera, but after doing research, I found that I definitely would get my money's worth if I purchased this camera, so I did. What I really like about this digital camera is that it has an automatic and a manual mode, so it is nice for the amature and experienced picture-taker. Also, this camera has a black and white mode, which I find fabulous. The only reason why I rated this item the way I did was I could not get the software to recognize the camera. I solved that problem by getting a CompactFlash card reader for my laptop computer, so all is well. I would highly recommend this product.

Summary: Canon Powershot S100 Digital ELPH: A Magic Elf
Review: Having the Canon Powershot S100 Digital ELPH in my hands is just like having a wish-granting elf around to create the clearest, sharpest, and easiest digital photos imaginable. With it's tiny but powerful built-in telephoto lens, the camera is easy to manipulate and takes great pictures whether close-up or at a distance. I was at a party recently where the new toy of the evening was the S100 Digital ELPH and I have to say that, for the price, it is the best digital camera I have seen to date. A tiny piece of electronics measuring only 3.4" x 2.2" x 1.1", this camera weighs less than seven ounces and the buttons are few and easy to locate and learn. The kit contains the 2.1 Mpixel Canon PowerShot S100 camera, 8Mb CompactFlash card, wrist strap, USB cable, video out cable, software (including Canon Digital Camera Solutions and Adobe PhotoDeluxe), rechargeable lithium-ion battery w/charger, and easy to follow manuals for both the camera and software. We took some dark campfire photos at the party using the flash and the clarity was astounding. On the LCD screen, the photos were crisp and clear and when emailed out to the party guests, everyone was very pleased with the pictures. There was no flash glare. The batteries allow for about 50 photos (LCD on) including download time. Canon claims 85 with LCD on and over 250 with LCD off but having the LCD on permits the photographer to see the photos as he or she takes them and delete right then whichever ones are not to their liking. Recharging is a breeze and the camera is small enough to fit into a front shirt pocket or small handbag or waistpack. There is also a built-in lens cover and optical viewfinder however be prepared to leave smudges from your nose on the LCD screen when taking photos. If you are looking for the best compact digital camera available now, the Canon Powershot S100 Digital ELPH is the camera for you and your family. Makes a great Christmas or birthday gift, too, for those hard-to-please bosses or the person who has almost everything.

Summary: Almost worth the wait
Review: Very good point and shoot camera in an elegant tight compact package with one problem that can be summed up in one word S_L_O_W! From the slow power on to the almost 2 second delay from the time the shutter button is pushed until the shot is taken. Also the shutter speed in anything other than full sunlight is poor. The software works well. The color accuracy is flawless with good resolution. The focus could be tighter; this may be a result of its poor performance in less than perfect light.
