Summary: Big features, small package!
Review: I have had the Sony MVC FD73 and was disappointed at the quality of my pictures. I just recieved the Powershot S100 for Christmas and what a difference!! When compared to other digital options, we found this one to offer more bang for your buck. You do need at least a 32MB card, but the camera is great!

Summary: Always with me
Review: I've been a photographer since the early 70's and have used many small and medium format cameras. I began a journey into digital photography one year ago with the purchase of the Nikon 950. I traded my 950 for the 990 two months ago. I travel frequently and always longed for a small digital camera that would provide good photos. I found the Canon S100 this week and haven't put it down. I have taken more digital photographs in the last four days then in the last year with my bulkier Nikon. I have noticed that the image quality isn't up to the 990's however the S100 is always with me and used daily while the 990 collects dust. Thank you Canon and I can't wait to see what the second generation of this little gem will be.

Summary: Great little camera
Review: I just purchased the S100 and so far it has been great. I am new to digital cameras, but this compact size caught my eye. I don't like bulk and this camera fit great in my pocket or briefcase. I hope to have alot of fun with it.

Summary: Great Camera
Review: This is a great camera. I wanted a digital camera to take the place of my point and shoot, and not necessarily my SLR. The Digital ELPH fits that role admirably. It's size is the major plus for me. I take it everywhere with me now and since it's digital, I don't have to worry about wasting film. I just carry it in my front pocket whenever I'm walking around.The resolution is good enough for a nice 5x7, and 8x10 is certainly possible for anybody not too critical of quality. I have noticed a bit of fringing in the pics on occasion, but nothing significant. The USB port allows fast downloads, and the included software is adequate, though I do most of my work in Photoshop. I have noticed a bit more red eye than I'm used to, but I just have to remember to us the red eye reduction feature on the camera. The included 8 mb flash card quickly became insufficient and I got a Lexar Media 48 mb flash card, which gives me about 77 pictures at medium quality (around 500Kb) and about 31 pictures at high quality (around 1.7 mb). Another issue is the battery life. Luckily, the camera comes with a rechargeable battery, unlike the S10 and S20. I'll probably have to get another one of these if I'm out shooting for an extended time. Overall a great camera for just shooting around. I've used it to take photos at work during the holidays and everyone wants one now. It certainly has a high "coolness" factor.

Summary: All in all, a great investment
Review: ...I just used it at a Christmas party over the weekend. Took about 150 shots, and used 50 of them. The only reason this camera gets a 4 out of 5 stars is the picture quality. Since I was taking photos outside at night as well as under a number of lighting conditions inside I had to touch up just about every picture that I ended up keeping- the Adobe PhotoEditor software they include is a Godsend. Granted, my picture quality problems are probably because I'm a such a novice, but it was problematic. I've read other reviews where people have complained about the flash (or lack thereof) on this camera, and how it affects the picture quality, and I'd agree. With that said, I've gotten more use out of this camera in the last few days than I have with just about any camera before. The fact that I can put this in my pocket without looking like I'm trying to smuggle a brick is a big plus. Not to mention all the benefits that go along with digital cameras in general.

Summary: I wanted to love this camera
Review: In the next 8 hours I have to decide if I am going to return my elph. And I am stumped, here's why: Inconsistent quality control - I bought one that had a big green dot in the middle of the LCD screen so I returned it. The new one I bought has a big problem with white balancing - caucasian skin tones turn yellow brown indoors with the flash, and black shapes become two dimensional in dim light. In addition - the LCD does not work in dim light. But on the other hand - Size- I have taken more pictures in the last 29 days than in the last 6 months. Wow Factor - everyone at every party loves to play with it Digital Convenience - not having to worry about film, you can shoot away at things you never would waste development cost on. So do I return it and pay 200 more for a Fuji 40i? Or do I wait a year for the next generation and continue to shoot on film. You decide.

Summary: unexpected results
Review: Purchased the S100 prior to an African Safari and Egypt trip to avoid the weight and size of a "good" camera. This camera was the hit of our large group and the 128 falshcard @ 1200x1600 gave me almost 300 photos! I didn't expect much quality so imagine my surprize when I printed photos that were spectacular. Best part is that the camera is so small it attaches to a tiny camera pouch on your belt...so you'll always WANT to carry it with you. Say that with a conventional telephoto set-up.

Summary: Consistent quality and always in my pocket
Review: This is a great point and shoot camera. I travel to Mexico a lot and the S100 is just so easy to keep in my little waist pack that reaching for it is second nature. No opportunity gets by me to record where I am or what I see. With the addition of a Viking 64MB flash card, I can capture over 80 shots without even thinking twice about capacity. Indoors, the built in flash is adequate under 10 feet but can overexpose a little close up. Outdoors, images are extremely crisp and detailed without having to go into the superfine 1600 X 1200 mode although overcast provides a little too much blue tinge. While that can be corrected using the accompanying Adobe software, Adobe annoyingly keeps the retouched image in a proprietary format and really increases the file size. I travel with my little Sony Vaio subnotebook (a great combination at less than 3 lbs.) and the USB transfer using the installed Zoombrowser software is effortless and very quick. My evening ritual when I get back to my hotel room is to download the photos into their own daily folder (about a 3 minute task after a full day of shooting), choose the "keepers", eliminate the duplicates or those poorly framed, rename them for their location and subject matter and then review them using the Zoombrowser's slide show. When I'm home, I connect my notebook to my television monitor through its S-video input and friends and family enjoy the whole digital experience, kind of like the old days of slides but without the drudgery of trays and the racket of the projector fan. The Canon Zoombrowser works terrific and its installation was effortless. 2 megapixels may not be the end-all for digital photography but the S100's mini size and rugged construction make this the camera you'll keep for a long time. If, like me, you have a drawer full of point and shoot 35mm cameras that have provided profoundly inconsistent results, the Digital ELPH is the one for you. Get a spare battery and you're set for a long time!
