Summary: Great Camera
Review: I got this camera after looking around and comparing it with others. I'm glad I decided to go with the S230 for many reasons.Pro's
Small and can fit in your pocket, great quality pictures, excellent movie mode with sound, comes with battery and charger, not complicated to use, all around excellent camera, and again the 3.2MP makes the pictures very pleasing to the eye. Con's
Zoom isnt the best buts its alright, it takes good pictures when its dark out but you have to edit with a program such as photoshop to make it brighter. These cons should no way bother you much and should not deter you to buy this camera. I suggest you buy a viking 256MB memory chip because the one that comes with it will leave you able to only take a few pics. With the 256MB chip you take long videos and take well over 1200 pictures. All in all excellent camera and as usual amazons shipped it fast and got the camera in a few days after making the order. I look forward to buy from amazon and cannon again.

Summary: compact, strong, and powerful all in one
Review: I got one of these little beauties for Christmas last year. My son did the research, and really picked a winner. My husband borrowed it several times, and I decided to get him one this Christmas. He was really pleased, and said when he opened it "It's the same as yours; I won't have to be re-trained!" I'm never without a camera---this one is so compact I can carry it in my purse, so if I want to capture a design idea for my house or one of my hobbies, or if there's a beautiful sunset, or whatever. When showing it to people, I call it my "computer in a cigarette case". This is the 3rd Canon camera I've had since the 70's (and the other two are stil going strong). I've always been pleased with their quality and reliability. Like the others, this model is as easy or as complex as you want to make it. I carry the book with me at all times, because this has so many features that I can't keep them all in my head! I've taken great snapshots with it on the fly, as well as some pretty nice "arty" pictures. I love the digital because I can review each picture before I decide whether or not I've captured the EXACT shot I want. Much better than taking 5 pictures, hoping I got the one I want, and waiting for the film to come back. Also much more cost-effective. For anyone debating about whether to go digital, I'd recommend this camera. I think the first one has about paid for itself by now in saved developing and film costs. If I want pro prints, I just send them to one of my favorite studios.

Summary: Small, Quality Camera
Review: I bought S230 based on many other people's reviews. I am glad that I made the purchase based on the majority of good reviews. I agreed that the camera takes quality pics. I'd like to give suggestions to one buyer regarding the pics taken by the camera were grainy. Based on my experience, if the ISO speed is set to 50 instead of 400, the grainy effect will disappear. And the picture is very clear. Also I do find the digital zoom is useful when a landscape pic is taken. I took 2 minutes movie. It's so easy to download and view the movie on the computer. (with sound) Overall, I love the camera. It's the best buy!
