Rating: Summary: best for the price Review: Bottom line is this has been a really good little camera for me. This was my first digital camera and I was really surprised such good picture quality could come from such a small camera. I print photo quality 8x10s all the time. Favorite features are: (1) Size - fits is my shirt/pants pocket (2) Picture Quality (3) Styling - always get complements when I whip it out.My dislikes: (1) Shutter lag - I have kids who never sit still for pics so I've missed many good photo ops (2) Menu - I find navigating through the menu isn't difficult, but it could be quicker (3) Movie Mode - I don't think the quality & duration of the movie mode is that great, but this is a minor point as I didn't buy it to make movies
Rating: Summary: Digital Elph Review Review: Great camera for the money. Very light and compact. Easy to use and makes very good photos. I especially like the viewfinder that zooms with the lens. My criticisms are: Small battery is very limiting. About 20 to 25 shots depending on how much the flash is used. I would like to have an AAA battery adapter so I could get unlimited use, much like a 35mm camera. The 512 memory card is a must have add on if you travel. The flash can be unpredictable and programing it can be a challenge.
Rating: Summary: raveged for 2 years, Still ticking! Review: I am always quick to criticize or critique a restaurant or item I bought. I rarely have the opportunity to compliment an item such as this one. I went horse back riding with a girlfriend and her daughter one day this summer02. On the way back we were taking the horses through more creek water then an the way there. The water at some points came to the belly of the horses. Something spooked the horse I was on and she went about neck deep into the water. She threw me over her left shoulder when she stopped suddenly. I went completely under water, briefly. As soon as I popped up I knew my camera went under water. (I should have put it in a zip lock, I thought.) I immediately took the battery and flash card out and cursed myself for bringing it. When I got home I opened it up by the tiny screws in it and set it in front of a low powered fan. IT HAS BEEN THREE MONTHS SINCE THEN AND IT STILL WORKS, BATTERY, FLASH CARD, AND CAMERA! I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE IT MYSELF! I am now looking into buying the waterproof case that is an option. Better not press my luck:-)
