Summary: Small, delightful and well-designed
Review: My last digital camera was an Apple QuickTake 200, which shot 640x480 pixel images. The Apple was actually better in two repects: it turned-on quickly and it showed you what you just shot right after you shot it. The ELPH will do the latter but you must hold down the shutter button to view it. But this DOES work even if you turn off the LCD viewing -- great battery saver.The larger the CompactFlash card that you use, the slower it takes for the ELPH to turn on. It takes about 2-3 seconds of pressing the on button plus 2 more seconds till you can shoot a picture. I understand this is to prevent automatic turn-ons but sometimes I want to immediately take a picture. That aside, this is a great camera. I bought a 32mb CompactFlash to go with it and shoot in Fine mode (1600x1200 compressed) and get about 50-60 images. It takes about 4 seconds to transfer each picture via USB to my Apple G3 PowerBook. The QTVR (panorama) generating software is great. It eliminates much of the hard work for the user. But you really need to keep it on a stable surface to do this well. I also have an ELPH Jr. APS camera. (With a black body before Canon changed it.) It got it because it was so portable (i.e. usable). This is every bit as enjoyable. I rarely ever use the flash. The zoom works perfectly fine, though I'm not much of a zoom user. My friend has an S10 and his pictures are a little better, but the S100 wins out for its tremendous portability.

Summary: First impressions
Review: First; To the Bay Area Electronics Fan who posted an Email on 13 June. The S100 has an Compact Flash Card type I slot and will not accommodate the IBM Microdrive. To My review. I paid full price at Frys and don't regret it a bit. The lack of features as compared to say the Oly 3030 Zoom or the Nikon 950, or the Ricoh 5000 all of which I own is more than made up for by the S100's small size and ease of use. The quality of the S100's output is impressive. The only negative comments I have are the "Icons" used to define the camera's different modes, ie; B&W. The Icons are small and not very readable for someone with less than 20:20 eyesight. Not only that, they don't seem to make much sense. All in all, for the money in my opinion it's the best camera in it's class.

Summary: Excellent and compact
Review: As digital technology evolves, so has my camera collection. This is my fourth digital camera, and I think that this unit is top notch. Big plus is size and quality. I picked my unit up in Singapore, and so far, so great! Other than the camera, you need to have a good quality photo printer to realize it's full capability. My HP PhotoSmart printer linked to this camera has created 8.5 x 11" photos of near 35mm quality!

Summary: Three Quibbles
Review: I agree that this is an amazing camera for its size, but I wanted to add some caveats: 1) The quality of the photos is slightly lower than that of top-of-the-line 2.1 megapixel cameras (e.g., the PowerShot S10). This is due to the extreme miniturization of the lens and CCD. Keep in mind that this camera trades some image quality for convenience. 2) Only three image resolution/quality combinations: 1600x1200 hi-quality JPEG, 1600x1200 compressed JPEG, and 640x480 compressed JPEG. I would have liked a mid-range size between 1600x1200 and 640x480 (1280x960?), and the ability to choose image quality settings (hi/low is enough for me) on a per-resolution basis, for a total of six combinations. 3) Colors are not quite as bright/saturated as on the Nikon CoolPix 950/990, Olympus 2020z/3030z, or even the Canon PowerShot S10 & S20. These three quibbles are relatively minor, but seemed worth mentioning. Convenience is more important to me than absolute image quality, so I am extremely happy with this camera. Image quality is still remarkably good, and it is by far the most convenient (and cutest!) digital camera currently available. Sam

Summary: A nice pocket camera
Review: The first camera can easily carry when traveling. Recommend to buy 1. Pros: 1. Nice outlook, solid and compact, but the 6oz weight still let you feel it is there in your pocket. 2. Longer battery life than S10&S20. Still better to carry a secondary battery (...) with you. 3. Fast image compression and large memory buffer to quickly allow the next shot. 4. In general, satified image quality. Cons: 1. Not like the S20, won't support CF-2, ie.,not compatible with microdrive. 2. The camera cannot record the right color in some condition, e.g., the flash light may cause the non-red surface to be distorted into red color. 3. The usb connection cover is made by plastics, which is easy to break off. 4. If you want to review the photo right after shot. 1. Your finger needs to remain on the shutter button right after the shot.(can be locked with another button). 2. Or you have to switch from the record mode to the play mode. This is kind of awkwards. Should have a dedicated options for shot review. 5. Each battery takes two hours to fully charge. You may not get it in hurry. You cannot buy the equivalent disposal battery in 7-11 store.

Summary: IBM MicroDrive Not Fit in
Review: Too Bad This one does not like S10 which could adapt IBM MicroDrive... However, the other features are exciting...

Summary: Amazing
Review: It's small (fits in your pocket). It's light (you can forget you have it). It's digital! I have waited for some time before getting into the digital craze and I am glad I did. However, the accessories are not yet available. If you are looking for a easy to use digital camera that doesn't require a photo bag or a Phd to use, this is it.

Review: An outstanding camera! I have enjoyed every minute I have spent taking pictures with it. The images are sharp, the menus easy to navigate, downloading to a computer is a breeze (It even comes bundled with Adobe Photo Deluxe so you can manipulate the images you shoot and compress them so that they can easily be e-mailed) and the super small size is unbelieveable. I have been waiting for a camera. like this. My only reservation is that it only comes with an 8MB Flashcard (you'll probably want to upgrade this) Otherwise, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Amazing
Review: The S100 is simply amazing. If the camera were any smaller, it would be difficult to use. And the price is very reasonable, especially when you consider that it comes with a rechargable lithium ion battery and a charger. In the past, you would have to spend around $100 for just the battery and charger.

Summary: Great Camera in the smallest package ever!
Review: This camera was purchased to take some general pictures, I wanted it because it is so small. The quality is amazing and the camera is SO SMALL. Get the IBM Microdrive because the 2 megapixel images will fill up a memory card fast! The USB connection is super fast, and you thankfully wont need another peripheral to read the compact flash card. If size matters to you this is the ultimate camera.
