Summary: Great Camera
Review: If you are serious about buying this product I am sure that you already know all the specs on it and such so I will just tell you why I bought it and what I use it for. The reason I chose the Canon S10 over other similar digital cameras was mainly the size of the camera. I can easily fit this camera in my pocket on my way to the great outdoors. While I am outdoors this camera is very sturdy. When powered down the lens retracts and is enclosed away from any harm. Now this is how I use my camera, usually I take my pictures at the highest quality and when my 48mb cf card fills up I go through my pictures on the viewfinder and delete the ones that I don't like so much, and I fire away with my memory free'd up. Back at my computer I upload with the USB connection (must have, anything else is WAY to slow). The photo company I print with is ofoto.com, they are great! They have software where you can crop your photos for the desired size, this is great when you take a picture with something that you didn't originally want in the photo. Then I upload the photos and have them printed out and sent to me, what a great service, I can also send out email with links to the photos albums I wish to share.

Summary: Great camera for great price
Review: My husband and I spent many hours and days researching different cameras and different website. It came down to the Casio 2000 and the Canon and with Amazon's great price would couldn't resist. The Canon S10 offers many great features and is very easy to use. My 3 year old daughter loves the idea of being able to see the picture right away so she is thrilled. This camera has alot of bang for the buck

Summary: handy little camera with very good pictures
Review: Received this camera as a gift last year. I have found it easy to carry in my pocket, and thus I tend to have it available to take pictures at my children's soccer practices, T ball games, and family events. The resolution of the pictures is excellent, especially 4x6 and 5x7, which I print out on photo paper using the EPSON 890 photo printer. In summary, a digital camera which is easy to carry, easy to use, and produces great photos.

Summary: Canon S10 digital camera: an excellent value
Review: The Canon S10 camera is an excellent value at the current price (...). The class of camera has some limitations (only 2x optical zoom), but compared to other cameras in the same price catagory, I rate it at the top. You may also want to consider the Nikon CoolPix 800 which is neck and neck (although no USB). Some good aspects: 1. The image quality is excellent. See ... a review which rates this as equal to or better than Nikon digital cameras (even the more expensive ones). Also, see the image quality for yourself at the online gallery. 2. The camera is very compact and the lens automatically retracts and covers itself (!) when not in use. 3. Autofocus is very good and the camera has a red light which allows it to focus in the dark. Trying to focus with digital cameras using a range finder or LCD is difficult if you haven't tried it, so this is important. I didn't realize this as I am used to 35mm SLR cameras. There is also a focus lock which allows some override. 4. Red eye reduction feature, a macro mode and rapid shooting feature. 5. Camera case is metal! Doesn't seem to scratch easily as metal has a mat finish with some kind of 'kryptonite' coating. This kind of attention to quality is something that supposedly isn't around any more in consumer products. Congratulations Canon on refusing to compromise on this (I'm not a 'things ain't what they used to be' person). Not so good: 1. Canon rechargable kit neccesary - a must buy so figure into the total cost. This kit apparently comes with the camera outside the U.S. 2. Connector for downloading to the computer has a release button to remove the connector which hurts my thumb/is difficult to remove. This is not an issue if you take the CompactFlash memory out and use a cardreader to download your photos (My particular connector may just be defective). Overall, very happy with this purchase. Realize that the total price for your setup with the power kit and extra rechargable battery can be additional ~$... (That is not to mention the additional cost for all these cameras: more/greater memory cards)

Summary: Convenient and high quality
Review: The S10 is a fine little camera. In automatic mode, it quickly snaps 1600x1200 shots with medium level compression. You can fit about a dozen on the 8MB CompactFlash card that comes with the camera; I get around 55+ on my 32MB card. These shots are fairly high quality; in good lighting conditions, I can print them as 4x6 photos and they look at least as good as my cheapy 35mm camera. You can put the camera in manual mode for greater control over compression, image size, gain, digital zoom, etc. This can be useful, but this camera is not targeted towards the person who wants elaborate details control. It does contain some easy-to-use sophisticated features: the panorama stitch mode is extremely easy, and the black-and-white and other "special effects" shot types are also just a twist of the dial away. What are the weak points? Well, for one, it's pretty appalling that the camera doesn't ship with the Canon rechargable battery. You will need to purchase that and a recharger right away (at an additional cost of around $100). Also, although it isn't horrible, I would prefer a 3x optical zoom. 2x just doesn't do that much. Number three, the optical viewfinder doesn't align very tightly with the actual shot -- you can use the LCD display, but that drains the batteries. Finally, I was disappointed that there is so little tactile feedback when you snap a picture. I'm wary about having a stranger take my photo with this camera because I fear they won't realize when they've taken the shot! I've found that having a digital camera fundamentally changes they way I take photographs. I'm much more likely to snap 3 or 4 shots of a particular view and then immediately scan over them and pick the best 1 (or 2) and discard the others. This was a lot of fun and I think it improved the overall quality of photos that I take. (Of course, I could just try to become a better photographer...) The Canon S10 is easy to use and carry around, and I'm happy that I purchased it.

Summary: Good form factor, sharp pictures, mediocre color capture
Review: The S10 packs a lot of features into a compact form. As a tote-around point-and-shoot, it's a good choice. The retracting lens and automatic cover make it easy to pack, and the ability to take high capacity memory cards or IBM disk devices allow you to take quite a few pictures (even at 2-megapixel resolution) without downloading. On the downside, the S10 consumes battery power at a higher rate than other digital cameras I've used, and the specialized batteries are expensive. The rechargeable battery pack from Canon is helpful, but it's not included with the camera, upping the cost of a useable configuration. The 2x optical zoom is a bit short, given that many of the competitors products give you 3x. I often find that missing magnification requires me to shoot at a higher resultion and crop the result. Most disappointing is the S10's inabilities to accurately capture colors in the red-orange range. Flesh tones are often rendered incorrectly, and flash pictures often end up leaving skin looking pasty. No amount of adjusting the cameras controls seems to solve the problem. I've read reports by others who've suffer the same results, so I'm inclined to think it's a software problem, rather than an issue with my individual unit. In addition to the rechargeable battery pack, I'd recommend using this with a computer that has a USB port (and getting a USB card if your machine doesn't have one!), as downloading pix, expecially high-resolution shots, through the serial port is painfully slow.

Summary: HORRIBLE!
Review: This camera is definitely not recommended. When i tried to digital zoom, it always blurs the images. Another thing, this thing EATS BATTERIES, it doesn't come with a charger or n e thing, and no rechargeable batteries. WORST CAMERA I HAVE EVER USED. If you wanna spend some more money you should go for the Sony DSC s85, that is an AMAZING camera. BOTTOM LINE, ::: NOT RECOMMENDED :::

Summary: Mother of Two
Review: This camera is wonderful. With two kids I take pictures all the time and because they are digital I can delete the "bad" ones later. I have had the camera for over 6 months and I love it. We took the camera to Disneyland and the battery never ran out. (we recharged it nightly) Plus the storage card is interchangable with my HP Pocket PC. The picture quality is amazing. I have ordered prints as large an 11X13" and they are flawless. I higly recommend this affordable digital camera.

Summary: Canon S10: Good, could be better
Review: Versitility is great with abilty to download to serial (Mac), parallel (PC), and USB (both). Beware that use of Windows 95 upgraded to 98 may not work (mine did, however). Also, an upgrade to the newer firmware may be required. The pictures are overexposed on the "auto mode." Adjustments can be made manually. I'd buy it again.

Summary: Wonderful Item
Review: We are currently stationed in Misawa Japan. I bought this camera for my fathers birthday so we can e-mail pictures back and forth of family and my son. The quality is great, and its picture quality when I go to print it out.
