Summary: Almost loved this camera
Review: I really liked this camera when I first started using it--easy to use, great form factor. Pictures were of excellent quality. After using it for a week it wouldn't power up. An error message was displayed on the screen---E18. Canon service told me I had to mail it back to have it fixed.... I have been very happy with this camera---so far.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tight!
Review: I have had this camera a little over a year and love it. I bought a larger card to replace the 8MB card that came with it. I have found that I take many more photos b/c it is so easy to use and is small enought to be unobtrusive. Size does matter.

Summary: size matters
Review: Recently I was at dinner with some friends, and we were debating the merits of one digital camera vs. another. One of my friends was going on and on about his camera and how fancy it was. While he was talking, I took my S100 out of the front pocket of my Levi's and took his picture. I said, can your fancy camera do that? No, because he doesn't (can't) always carry his with him.
End of story.

Summary: Canon S-100
Review: I have only had it for about a month. The quality of the pictures is excellent. It is small and easy to carry but this also means that the icons for the various settings are also very small. The latter is my only complaint but I am sure that I will get used to them.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: very convenient
Review: The size is what makes this camera so convenient. If you're looking for high-quality pictures though look elsewhere. While it's quite good, a serious photographer would be disappointed with the quality.

An earlier review wrote that in order to see a picture you just took you have to take the picture, switch to view mode, look at the picture, and then switch back. This is not true -- if, while taking the picture, you keep holding down the trigger button, the picture will be displayed immediately after you take it for five seconds.

Summary: Great for travel
Review: My first digital camera, bought right before a trip to Europe, and I'm in love with the thing. It's so tiny, it fit easily into my pocket or purse, and took absolutely gorgeous pictures, especially outdoors.

The only caveats: outside of flash range, indoor pictures tended to come out dim, and nighttime shots didn't work at all. Also, the battery often ran down by the end of the day, or after about twenty minutes of continuous previews. Still well worth the price . I would recommend a 128 MB card and an extra battery for travel. I also needed a voltage adapter for the battery charger.

Summary: This camera really changed things around our house
Review: With 3 kids, ages 3 mo, 5 yrs and 8 yrs we are really on the go. We found that with each new birth, we had less and less time to tote the SLR and lenses around and take, process, wait, and pick up photos. This thing fits in your shirt pocket so it goes everywhere and we are able to save the 3/36 great photos and delete the rest. Highpoints of the product in my opinion are: the size, the size, the size, the great optics, and the bundled software. Things that could really turn this into a dream machine in future models of the same size would be: better battery life, 4.4 Mpix, slighty more intuitive onboard software/os. Overall this is great product!

Summary: Great way to go digital
Review: As someone who has shot 35mm for about 25 years, making the switch to digital was a big jump, but with this camera I have not been disappointed. While there's a bit of a trade-off in terms of creative flexibility when you can no longer manually adjust shutter and apeture settings, new creative opportunties become available through the use of software.

This camera is rugged, takes great pictures and is easy to use. Some other reviewers have correctly pointed out that one needs to invest in accessories such as a high capacity flash card and battery charger. I also recommend the soft-sided case which slips onto your belt and provides a little extra protection against dings. My only complaint about this camera is that I wish the flash were stronger, as it's only good for about 10 - 12 feet. Notwithstanding that minor shortcoming, this camera is highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfect for ANY ocassion
Review: Our local Best Buy, an electronics chain, recently put the S100 on clearance at 205.00. (Yes, 205.00) Not wishing to pass up a deal (check the present price on this camera!) I bought it. Picture quality is superb, and 8 x 10 enlargements are no problem... no grit/grain. Excellent color reproduction. Pocket size and very well built. Recommendations: A spare battery (39.00) and a large compactflash card. I picked up a new 128 MB card for 57.00 online. Best complusive purchase I ever made! :^)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BUY THIS CAMERA NOW!!!!!!
Review: This is a fantastic little camera that is perfect for anyone looking to make the switch to digital photography. It is exceptionally easy to use, easily fits in your pocket, and takes fantastic pictures that look excellent when printed out (I recommend ofoto.com for ordering photo prints). My only two warnings are; buy a HUGE CompactFlash card (or two) so you can take all high quality images (they look better and give you more enlargement options when printed out) and an extra battery.
