Summary: Great Camera w/ Crisp picture
Review: I have this camera for over 1 year and I cannot be happier with it. The photo quaility is great both viewing on the computer and printing them into a photo paper. Although it maybe heavier than other camera, it's still small enough to fit into a pocket which makes carry around easy. Setting up the camera to upload the photo to my PC was easy. I had to install the driver provided when I was on Windows 2000 and no driver is require for Windows XP. I highly recommand this camera and make sure you get a bigger memory chip when you buy this camera.

Summary: Great Camera!!!
Review: I bought the Canon S330 and am glad to say im very pleased with it. It takes great pictures and has great features. The camera is stylish with a metalic brush finish. The LCD is bright and vibrant unlike some other LCDS on cameras. The software provided with the camera is easy to use and very user friendly. If you consider buying this camera you should also get an extra battery and carry that around its very small but is extremely usefull considering the battery life is so low.

Summary: Excellent Point and Shoot; NOT Good at Red Eye Reduction
Review: I bought this camera about a year back and then gave it to a friend. Now I am about to buy this same camera again for me. My only gripe is that you tend to get Red Eyes in many indoor flash pics. If you are looking for a compact, 2 MP and very easy to use point and shoot camera, look no further.

Summary: Great little camera for travel
Review: I bought two of these, one for my wife and one for my son for Christmas. Both of them love this camera. I have a Powershot G1 and also generally prefer to use this little one due to its portability. I recently took it on a cruise and shot over 250 pictures on 2 CF cards. It is very sturdy. It fell out of my chair onto a cement floor at a restaurant in Jamaica and survived. Also used it on the beach with some trepidation but had no problems (but don't get it wet unless you have the waterproof case). Recommend extra battery and at least a 128 MB CF card. It fits in my pants pocket with or without the Canon case (also recommend). The case will hold an extra battery and CF card. One nice feature is the recessed lens. With my G1, the lens is always getting fingerprints especially if I hand it to someone to snap my picture, but with the s300 this does not happen, even with the lens extended. Use manual mode with fill flash for outdoor shots on the beach or boat for great people pics. Unless you plan to print larger than 5x7 and an occassional 8 x 10 or need to crop extensively due to lousy composition, the 2 MP is fine. It is nice have the 3x zoom in some situations, but I always try to just move closer when I can. The great thing is you can snap as many pics as you want and delete the ones you don't like, but I seem to end up keeping them all. Since you aren't wasting film, take shots of signs, license tags, etc. to tell a story of where you are when travelling.

Summary: Great camera -- from an amateur photographer
Review: First of all, I will tell you that I am a 24 year old, with a great eye, but very little photography experience. This is the perfect camera for me. I recently borrowed my mother's new 4.0 megapixel camera to use, and while it's nice, I am just as happy with this camera! Unless you are using the camera to make extremely large prints, you really don't need anything more than what the Elph provides. Perhaps my only couple of "cons" regarding this product are: 1) the size, it's rather large for an Elph, but even that is a minor flaw, because it is still relatively small, & 2) is that the memory card only allows a few pictures at high resolution, you will definitely want to buy a memory card with more megabytes, but that is simple to do, and you can find one that is inexpensive. All of my pictures have come out with vibrant color, I have even shot some 30 second "movies" that came out great as well. The software is very easy to install, and I think that most users will find it as simple to use as home versions of PhotoShop. Overall, a great buy at a great price with very few drawbacks.

Summary: Compact and Feature-Rich Camera for the Photo Enthusiast
Review: Sure, professionals and the exceptionally avid enthusiasts will want a camera with interchangeable lenses, more megapixels, and more features overall, but for its size and ease of use, the ELPH is one of the best digital cameras available. Photos taken at its highest resolution (1600 x 1200) and lowest compression rate can easily be blown up to 8"x10" in size, certainly adequate for the average photo enthusiast. Automatic and manual controls allow for photography in most lighting situations. The camera even can record short digital videos including sound, and the camera's user interface is customizable with new sound "themes" and a start-up image. Highly recommended accessories include a larger compact flash memory card or two; the 8-mb card included simply doesn't cut it unless you want to only take low-res pictures. Buy a 128-MB card and store over 120 images at the highest resolution; they're cheap these days. Secondly, you'll want a second or even third battery, as though the camera does include its own rechargeable pack, it will only last for 100 shots or so, and you won't want to waste time recharging when you're on the go. If you want a camera you can carry in your pocket that will give you instant results without having to send off film to the lab for development, you'll want this camera. The ELPH is one of the best out there!

Summary: Good Camera in a Small Package
Review: This Elph packs a lot of features in a small package. I bought it for it's size. You could get a digital camera with greater resolution but not in the Elph size. It fits your shirt pocket. There is bascically 3 modes of quality for still pictures and AVIs. The best quality is what I always use and I can still pack in 100+ pictures before my 128MB card is full. The media is easy to swap out with the PC or you can connect it directly to your PC with an optional PCMCIA adaptor. You can also do a slide show on your PC or TV. It comes with all the cables. The camera is rugged and well built. I like the stainless steel case and it has both a LCD and viewfinder for framing your subject. The maual mode allows for some control of flash and exposure, but you have to learn the menus. It's basically point and shoot. The flash, red eye reduction and self timer works well. Autofocus is accurate, but sometimes has to think about it awhile before shoooting depending on subject and background. The battery life is excellent, but recharging takes some time. Among the drawbacks:
There are a lot of menu choices that you need to learn if you want to get really fancy with all of the modes. Navigation is fairly simple, but you have a lot of choices. The AVI "best" mode will only do a few seconds of AVI at a time. This isn't very clear by just reading the manual. Don't expect to shoot family videos though. Just short snippets with audio. The 8Mb flash card that comes with it is a joke. I recommend buying 128Mb as an add on. I also recommend a softcase to keep the camera in for it doesn't come with any kind of case.

Summary: Travel essential!!!
Review: My S330 replaced my Elph film camera several years ago and since then has traveled all over the world with me. Everything I need to take pictures on a trip can fit into my pocket... including small tripod, charger, adaptor plug, extra Compact Flash cards, extra battery, etc. It certainly beats carrying a camera bag. I make a photo journal after each trip. Since I really don't need to make large prints, the resolution is more than enough. In fact, I know of at least four other people who have purchased this camera after seeing my prints.

Summary: I'm taking this little camera everywhere!
Review: Great size, lightweight, really bright LCD, nice 3X optical zoom, and good rechargeable battery life made me buy this camera. It can fit in my pocket so I'm taking it everywhere. Some of the on-screen text is small, so if you need reading glasses then this camera may be difficult to work with but I think the majority will find the text to be just perfect. The S330 has wonderful features, including customizable "My Camera" sounds and screens, as well as more powerful tools such as a on-screen panorama composer assistant (to align sequential shots), an AVI movie tool with audio, and more! The 2 megapixels makes gorgeous 1600x1200 res shots (and smaller). A wonderful camera at a great price!

Summary: Top quality, always ready
Review: I've had my Canon S330 for 2 months now and I love everything about it. It's solid construction and small convient size means I can carry it with me almost everywhere. The quick start up and "shot to shot" times means less missed photo opportunities. It is loaded with features that I use only ocassionally, and they are fun but the automatic features do a great job of allowing me to grab quick, quality photos at a moments notice. I use my Canon S330 on the job and at home to grab photos of my Grand Daughter flitting through the living room in her new formal. An extra battery and larger CompactFlash card will add to your photographic experience.
