Summary: Super Camera!!
Review: This is my 2nd digital camera, as I moved up from HP C200. This camera will do everything you need to do. 8x10 are great quality. The 4x6 is of lab quality on highest resolution. This camera is probably one of the most energy efficent camera. If you hate buying aa batteries this is the camera for you. You will need to get a bigger flashcard. I have a 128 mb flashcard. I can get 96 highest resolution and highest compression photos.
I will not need to get another camera for quite some time, and am very pleased with photo quality

Summary: Middle child.
Review: I have been a dedicated digital Elph user since the first S100 was released and have really gotten my money's worth from that camera. It is a rock-solid, 2 megapixel, 2X optical zoom, pocketable digicam. It was not, however, a perfect camera, and the first update, the S110 attempted to address its major shortcomings, most significantly by fixing the poorly designed power switch and by adding a movie function. Next came the S200, which added to the movie function (60 seconds max., with sound) better battery management and higher amperage and several new user controls. It did *not* add the anticipated 3 megapixel resolution, nor improve upon the 2X optical zoom. The series continued with the S300 & now the S330, and these indeed do offer the 3X optical zoom (forget about digital zooms; they're nearly useless, especially in lower resolution cameras), though not the 3 megapixel resolution (this is important *only* if your intention is printing enlargements greater than 8" x 10"). So with all 5 of the digital Elphs still widely available, which would suit you best? Personally, considering their prices graduate only slowly, and given my experience that a better optical zoom makes for a more useful camera, I'd go for the ... S300. However, if size is not a major factor in your decision process, skip the premium one pays for the Elphs' compactness and consider the fact that you can buy other digicams that are only modestly larger but rather better equipped for less money.

Summary: Great product!
Review: I researched this topic to death and finally settled on S200 because of size. I use a Palm Vx and use it a lot due to small size...figured the same logic works for a camera. All the positive reviews are correct. Here are the problems:
1. Battery life indicator shows up when there is no life left, so you never know if you should charge before you leave the house.
2. CF Card capacity is not indicated anywhere either. How do I know how many pictures I have left in the card?
3. Red Eye reduction works sometimes. I use PictureIt Express to remove red eye many times.I have an HP 970cse printer and I can print spectacular 5x7s and 8x10s if the photo is saved in hi-res mode. If you use Windows NT on a laptorp, get a PCMCIA Compact Flash card reader for 8 bucks! If you are still in analysis/paralysis mode, get this camera now and end your pain!

Summary: great little camera
Review: I've had my PowerShot S200 for almost two weeks now, and I enjoy it quite a bit. The automatic features make it easy to use for a beginner like myself. The software setup was simple. The picture quality is great, even when the subject is only a few inches away. Be warned that, contrary to the Amazon.com review, you cannot add audio clips to still pictures and you cannot record a movie for more than about 25 seconds. (I notified Amazon of these inaccuracies, but they haven't corrected the listing in over a week.) I recommend getting a carrying case (not included) and a 256 Mb memory card. For Amazon.com's low price, it's worth the extra few bucks to be able to take 400+ hi-res pictures between downloads to the computer. Also, to save batteries, I'd recommend leaving the LCD display turned off (hit the DISP button twice) when in picture-shooting mode. Just use the optical viewfinder instead of the LCD when you're taking the picture. (You can still see the picture for several seconds on the LCD after you take it.) If you keep the LCD on, the battery goes in a few hours. Unfortunately, there is no "low battery" warning.

Summary: Pocket camera takes amazing picures
Review: This replaces all my other cameras. This sturdy, pocket size digital camera takes amazing point and shoot instant pics, and has a plethora of options you can set on the small, but high quality digital display. Sensitivity, color depth and resolution are great for high-quality prints up to 5x7. Available light pictures are very good if you hold the cameras steady while shooting. Flash images tend to have strong reds, but correct easily with any digital image processing program, including the one supplied with the camera. Don't forget to set your printer's paper and color Properties. Set the colors to match your monitor and it will be much easier to make any minor corrections to the exposure and color of each print.

Summary: Love this camera!
Review: I just got this camera a couple of days ago and I love it already. The size is perfect, can fit in a pocket, small purse or pack. Picture quality is great! Good for posting on the internet or printing -- I went out and bought a new printer (the HP DeskJet 5550) and the prints are amazing! I'm putting my 35mm camera away and using the ELPH exclusively.

Summary: My favorite gadget...also a damn fine camera
Review: I have the original Canon Digital ELPH, the S100...and over the past year-and-a-half, it's been great! The pictures are, for the most part, perfect (I ran into some problems in Vegas, where the contrast of the dark, night sky & the obnoxiously bright neon seemed to confuse the CCD and resulted in some dark, out-of-focus shots). This camera fulfills my two most important requirements: 1) high resolution, so that I can print out photos and have them look like they just came from Ritz Camera, and 2) small size, so I can comfortably carry it in the pocket of my jeans...I hate having to hang a camera around my neck and look like a tourist when I travel! I do have a couple complaints, which hadn't been addressed in the S110, and most likely haven't been fixed in the S200 either:
- Greater control over shutter speed: there is some control over shutter speed, but it isn't enough to really take any artistic pictures or nighttime landscapes (such as a city skyline at night, which is what I was trying when I discovered this shortcoming).
- No battery life indicator (just a low battery symbol, but by then it's too late). It would be very handy if the Digital Elph could display the minutes of battery time left, or even a small bar showing the approximate amount of battery life remaining. In my opinion, there's nothing worse than suddenly having the low battery warning pop up (with the S100, this means ~5 minutes until total shutdown). If you want to see what I'm talking about, I would suggest checking out a Sony Cybershot digital camera (or any Sony InfoLithium-powered camcorder). Other than these two issues, I LOVE this camera...it's definitely more than proved its worth.

Summary: I preferred this one over the PowerShot S330
Review: I took me a while to decide between this camera and the PowerShot S330. I prefer the S330 for the way it looks and feels and for the fact that it allows to manually set the shutter speed. I also like that feature that allows you to add voice memos to pictures taken. The reason why I decided for the PowerShot S200 in the end is pocketability. Although the S200 isn't much smaller in terms of inches, it feels a lot smaller than any other digital camera I have held in my hands so far. I have had the S200 for a week now, and I just love it! I had it with me almost everywhere I went. It even fits into a shirt pocket without feeling too heavy! That was my main reason for buying a digital camera anyways, I wanted to be able to bring it with me wherever I go. The picture quality is o.k., as long as you don't zoom in too much they are fine. I only store my pics on my pc and email them to people once in a while or post some pics online. If I would want to make prints, I'd go for a camera with more megapixels. But for prints I have a trusted Canon EOS 600 35mm. For the PowerShot S200 I also bought a small carrying case that clips on my belt as well as a spare battery. I'm also going to buy a flash-card reader. Oh, and of course I bought a 256MB Compact Flash Card. So, it was quite an investment, but I love this camera, and it's size is just amazing.

Summary: Very Poor Picture Quality
Review: ... Pros: Stylish design; Convenient to hold; Easy to use; Good close up picture quality; Good LCD; Immediate shutter response; Easy to lear manual. Cons: Cannot focus under any conditions on anything half a meeter away from the camera; Very apparent artifacts. Everything in the picture including yourself looks like a poster; Very flat and poor feeling of the colors on indoor pictures; After downloading the pictures from the camera to the PC and checking the pictures on the PC, I was so disappointed; Also experienced a bug the first installing the software. Compared side by side with some pictures taken by a Fuji Finepix 40i, Fuji does a much much much better job. Conclusion: Good for show and tell, not for taking pictures. Canon seems not worth its reputation. How did it get it?

Summary: Accessories
Review: This is in addition to my other review of this excellent camera. I forgot to mention the accessories for this, 1. Get one or two extra Canon NB-1LH batteries. This is the most important thing will need one a long day. (Don't get the older NB-1L, it had 25% lower capacity). 2. Get a Canon PSC-100 Soft Compact Case for this. 3. Spend some money and get either a 128MB or 256MB CF card. 128MB should me enough for most people. 4. CF card reader is NOT needed, the USB cable that comes with the camera works perfectly fine. Buy only Canon branded battery/case for this camera, don't try the cheap imitations in the market. Same for CF card, buy only a branded one. Everything is available here on Amazon itself so get these things along with your camera purchase. Ofcourse this is just from my experience and may not be totally true with your case !
