Summary: Great camera, but some cons.
Review: I bought this camera at the end of August. With the camera I also bought a 128MB compact flash card, an extra battery, and a carrying case. I also recently bought Viking's IntelliFlash Memory Reader.The camera:
Amazing size; it is literally about the size of a deck and a half of cards. It fits into my pants pocket or my chest pocket without a problem.
Great pictures, especially in daylight. I went for a walk with my dog today and took a picture in the midday sunlight and I got back and it was fabulous. But pictures with the flash aren't that great, unfortunately. The foreground usually gets too bright and the backround not light enough.
The 2X optical zoom is great but the 2X digital zoom doesn't do much I've found. The resolution is good enough so that you can take a picture using optical zoom and then crop the part you want and it will still be a good sized picture.
The software that comes with camera is adequate. It lets you view the pictures you take and then edit them a little bit, extract redeye was the feature I used most. But there are many other great features that I haven't really explored, but I have played around with a little.
The battery:
It probaly lasts about a half hour using the LCD screen. But if you just point and snap using the traditional viewfinder the camera lasts very much longer. It takes about an hour to charge with the included charger that plugs right into any outlet. I would recommend buying an extra battery. Also I would recommend buying a carrying case, the Canon Powershot case is an excellent fit and also has a small pounch on the front for an extra CF card and/or battery. I bought a 128MB card which is great when you go away for a while and won't have access to your computer. But I found that I rarely fill up even half the card which holds 210 pictures at medium resolution. The Viking Flash Reader is a nice touch, although definitely not needed. It allows you to upload pictures a bit faster without wasting the battery of the camera. All in all here's what you really need:
1. An extra battery pack.
2. A bigger CF card, 48MB is sufficient, 64 is really nice.
3. A carrying case to protect your investment. It's a lot of fun too!

Summary: Small, light, robust and great pictures for the price.
Review: I have owned a Powershot S100 ( known in Europe as the Canon Digital Ixus ) for a year. It does not provide the same flexibility as a decent SLR but it can and does produce very good photos.
Because it is so small and light it can be taken virtually anywhere, - great for holidays, sporting events, parties.
A high capacity compact flash card is an essential extra - I have purchased a 32mb and a 64mb. One word of warning, the USB connection for downloading will not work with Windows 95.

Summary: camera is great!
Review: I bought this camera based entirely on the written recomendations given by ...customers. The camera was a pleasent surprise on Christmas morning. The pictures are very clear and it hooks up very easily to the TV and our computer. I'm glad I purchased the extra picture disc which had been recommended also. My only recomendation would be to purchase a spare battery as the one with the camera runs out quickly. It does recharge very fast. This is a great camera and I would recommend buying it to everyone.

Summary: superb quality and ease of use
Review: This camera has great features to use as a point and shoot or also allow you to customize your settings with various manual modes. It is easy to use and quite intuitive. In terms of style and portability, you can't do any better than this. The software is simple to use to edit and print shots.

Summary: Even with its few problems, its a great camera
Review: This was the first digital camera i bought, and I love it. It takes great, clear pictures, its small, and its easy to use.
But, I did run into a couple of problems... 1. Although it says it on the box once you buy the camera, the amazon.com website failed to mention that transferinng your pictures to your computer via the USB cable works ONLY if you have a pre-installed version of windows 98 or windows 2000 on your computer. If you have upgraded from a previous version of windows, the USB cable will not work. That being said, I bought a San Disk card reader and it works great. It is so convienient that this method is probably better anyway. 2. The battery does not last long at all. That is what prevented the camera from getting 5 stars. With the LCD on it only maybe for 40 pictures. You definitely need a second battery... but you're gonna have to shell out a high price. Even with the problems, i love this camera and probably would buy it again.

Summary: Very poor picture quality
Review: I was expecting picture quality in the same range as a 35 mm film camera, but my pictures are so grainny and blurred that I can hardly make out objects features even on the best 4 x 6 glossy paper. I am currently trying to work with Canon Technical Support, but so far I have only gotten unhelpful generalities from them.

Summary: Good pictures, great form factor, small memory...
Review: I just got the camera, charged up the battery and went out shooting. The pictures look great. The default resolution for the camera in full auto mode (point & shoot) is 1600x1200 Fine, to get the Super Fine mode you have to go into manual mode - but even then it is very simple to shoot. I see a difference between the Fine & Super Fine modes, but I have printed 8x10 in both and am pleased with the results. My biggest complaint is the size of the memory card included with the camera, only 8mb - this will only store 4 pictures at max resolution in Super Fine mode. Luckily prices on Compact Flash cards are cheaper now (128mb for ($$$)). I have also found 3rd party batteries (...)for half the cost of the Canon battery. The pocket size charger makes traveling with it very simple, no cords needed to charge. Other - I wish the AC Adapter was a little cheaper, at ($$$)I think it is a little out of line. Bottom line, buy a camera from camera company and you get a good camera. Canon knows optics and knows how to bring it all together in a small package.

Summary: Broken dreams.
Review: After reading the many reviews, I purchased this camera. I was able to use it for 1 day. Then, suddenly it would no longer take pictures. Canon tech support was no help-they suggested turning the camera on and off. Their only solution was to send it to the factory for repair. I returned the camera to Amazon-who could not exchange it.

Summary: The Best All-around digital camera....
Review: This the perfect camera for the casual photographer. I bought one a few months ago and I never leave home without it. Get yourself an ELPH and you'll never miss a picture again. I've taken over 1500 pictures in less than 3 months, I don't know how I lived without it...
A few words of warning for potential ELPH customers:
- The zoom stinks, this is definitely NOT a camera for professionals
- Buy extra Flash memory, the 8mb card it comes with is a JOKE (I hope Canon reads this!). I'd recommend 128 at least especially if you travel a lot. An extra battery and a case make sense too.
- The ELPH 300 isn't worth the extra money. Don't be fooled get the 100 or the 110. This may be the last digital camera you ever buy!!!!

Summary: Nice and Simple
Review: I recieved this camera along with a scrapbook for my 15th birthday- and i think that it's the greatest- it's so simple to use and the software is great- it's really easy to do neat things with the pictures you take ( like changing eye color, removing red eye, touching up faces, etc.) and it was great for starting up my scrapbook. Ive never even had a digital camera before, and i was using this almost immediately after i recieved it (it was so simple).
