Rating: Summary: Great Little Camera Review: Terrific camera, bought it a few weeks ago, and haven't had much problem with it. I take it anywhere, definitely one of the biggest advantages is the size, it fits in my shorts or jeans pocket with ease. One advice, do buy an extra battery, it runs out really fast, especially if you use the LCD (which I prefer over the optical viewfinder). One thing I wish it had is a battery indicator. Overall, terrific camera, I know there are many cameras out there that have more features than this, but I much prefer this because it is tiny and I won't miss any good shots because I forgot to bring it because it's too big.
Rating: Summary: Great camera. Bought it for the size Review: Well... I bought the camera for the size and it has been a great little camera. The only thing I would change about the camera is to improve on the flash. It takes terrible pics indoors in poor light. You have to be right up on the subject in order for the flash to be effective. Took it on my hike to Yosemite's Half Dome and it took great pictures. I plan on buying a bigger better camera in the future buy I will keep this one for the size. Seems like everybody says to buy and extra battery and memory.... well do it. I did. 2 64mb CF's and 2 batteries. Memory is cheap these days.
Rating: Summary: best buy ever! Review: Either if you are new at digital pics, or used to them, this is definitely a great buy! Small to carry, pretty sturdy (my three year old has dropped it more than once!), it takes excellent quality pictures, downloads them fast and lets you change the settings so youcan save disc space. I love how fast it works on my PC. Like others have said before, the 8MB disc that comes with it is NOT ENOUGH. And you will also need an extra battery, since it only lasts about 10 hours.
Rating: Summary: Alot in a small camera Review: This is the first digital camera I ever owned and I'm very happy with it. It's size makes it very convenient to use. It's loaded with features - stich assist is a nice feature, manual mode , black and white. Resolution can be adjusted between 3 different settings. It takes very nice quality pictures especially once you get the hang of adjusting settings in the manual mode you'll find you can take nice pictures in whatever lighting conditions. You can play back pictures individually or as a slide show. It keeps a record of the settings for every picture you take which is nice. Transfering images to your computer via USB port is a snap. Only real weaknesses are the 8mb flash card & single rechargable battery it comes with. You will definitely need a bigger CF card and a backup battery. Overall an excellent camera.
Rating: Summary: A great little digital camera! Review: This is my second digital camera, but I'm much more impressed with the Canon S100 Digital Elph than I EVER was with my Kodak DC240. This camera is so light and tiny that I literally carry it everywhere with me, which is great considering I'm an artist and like to capture interesting items for future painting. The software that comes with the Digital Elph is very nice and intuitive. I especially like the way that ZoomBrowser EX lets you look at a virtual filmstrip of your pictures. The PhotoStitch software is very cool if you want to do any 360 degree panorama shots. I'd suggest that you not only buy this camera, but the case for it and an extra battery pack. My only complaint and the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the on-camera controls aren't as intuitive as they should be. I've often struggled to get something to work the way I want it, and hate to have to carry the manual with me all the time! Other than that, I love this camera. The pictures are uniformly excellent and color rendering is perfect.
Rating: Summary: Excelent Review: Just Excelent. But I would like more optical zoom, the capacity of manual focus, and the versatility of using lens.
Rating: Summary: Convenient Review: I got this camera for a trip to Ireland. What a good move. Not only did it last the entire trip in my pocket, in humidity changes, temp changes, altitude/pressure changes, but i came back with over 200 8x10 quality pictures! A 128meg memory card allowed me to take more pictures durring a day than i ever needed. Bringing the upload cable allowed me to dump my images onto cd-r's every couple days. it comes with software to manage pictures, merge panoramas, etc. Definitely the most user-friendly digital camera i've used as well. The menu system is simple and easy to navigate. The flash on the camera is outstanding. Taking pictures in a pitch-black room gave me images that seemed like daytime. There are too many features of this camera to list here. I bring this camera with me to work, to my parents' house (when i visit), on short trips, to the beach, etc. What an amazing product. If you are in the market for a digital camera, this should be on the top of your list.
Rating: Summary: Be careful before you buy this producdt Review: I bought this camera because of its printed specification -- it is ultra light, decent resolution and sufficient features for a point and click camera. The resolution and the quality of the picture are indeed ok. But then not too long after I purchased this camera, I "occasionally" can not turn the camera off: that is, when I press the off button, the zoom len would not contract. I have to use brute force to push the len in. I also have a problem with blurred images every now and then. After I contacted the Canon support person, they told me that the len is defective and I have to send in for repair. BTW, I have the camera for a grand total of six months and I have only used it for 5 occasions. Another problem with this camera is that it does not fair very well if the lighting is not sufficent, even with the built in flash. If you use automatic mode and if you want to take outdoor night view, be prepared that you might not get what you want. One thing I can say positive about this camera, besides the obvious ultra light weight advantage, is that its software (image viewer) is fairly easy to use. It is more "intuitive" than the Nikon View 4 software (I also have a Nikon Coolpix 995). So this is good news for beginner.
Rating: Summary: Amazing Package Review: I've used two digital cameras prior to this one: a first- generation Powershot (nice for the price) and a company-owned Kodak DC-290. The Kodak takes great pictures but it's an albatross compared to my wonderful Digital Elph. I put the Elph in a ziplock bag and stick it in my top pocket during fishing trips. I take pictures in places I'd NEVER be able to take them with a bulkier camera. I've recommended this magnificent example of engineering to many people, and I'd buy another one tomorrow. I can think of no, repeat, no drawbacks, and the picture quality is stunning. Printed out on a $200 HP Deskjet 952C they're indistinguisable from prints from negatives. Am I babbling?????
Rating: Summary: Best bang for your buck! Review: This is the camera you want to have if you're a novice photographer looking for a very flexible, compact and easy to use camera. For the price you just can't go wrong. Make sure to buy at least a 32MB CF card. The 8MB card that comes with the camera does not have the storage capacity needed by most.
