Summary: Well Built, Great Price
Review: From word of mouth heard this was a great camera, picked one up and love it. For the price, you get a real sturdy camera that has every feature you need. If you just use to for point & shoot, no need for higher resolution. Wish it included a case though!

Summary: If you don't care about video, this camera rocks!
Review: I use to own a Canon S200 and an old HP digicam.The Canon S200 lacks in pixels and the S400 is just overkill and overpriced. Canon S230 sits right in between and everything is right. POSITIVE
- it's small, carry it in your pocket
- durable, I had no case, hit it around a couple of times, still no problem
- takes up to around 2 minutes of film.
- the price is awesome ...
- rechargable battery and charger - lasts a long time. NEGATIVE
- if anything, I wish the video quality was a bit better.

Summary: Worth Every Penny
Review: Just bought it and I love it. The size of the camera is fantastic, and more then makes up for the smaller optical zoom (2x). If your considering this camera I would highly recommend it but it does tend to have a lot of red eye in the pictures (easily removed w/software).

Summary: Great for your pocket
Review: While I have owned several digital cameras,the Canon Digital Elph series has always amazed me. I owned the early 100 modle and gave it to my Father who has used it aroung the world. My S230 was used for over 5000 pictures before I retired it for the new S400. Honestly the 8x10 pictures I get from the new S400 are no better than the S230. The longer zoom is nicer, but the s230 still as other owners have said an oustanding camera that is small enough that you will acytually take it with you on the ski slpes or other action sports where a big slr type is just too big.

Summary: Good things come in small packages
Review: Received my Canon S230 last week in the mail. For two years I have been experimenting with a 1.0 MB digital camera to justify my need for switching to a higher pixel camera. Two years ago there were not too many choices and average of $500 for a good 2.0 MP based camera was beyond the budget for most point-and-shoot enthusiasts. After reading many reviews and experimentation I decided to go with the Canon S230 for the following reason; best value for this price point ... for a 3.2 mp digital camera with the added bonus of form, feature and design. After playing with the camera for a week, I am happy with my selection. Its packed with features and the included software package is more than enough for basic adjustments. Menu is easy to understand and finding/setting regular feature is only a few clicks away. The included 16 MB memory card is only good enough for a short day trip. It works well in low-lit areas and daylights pictures are vibrant with natural colors. Canon has kept up with its reputation with high quality products. Their new line of photo printers will please users who want immediate results. A bit of advice for new users, evaluate all your needs carefully. Don't go for the mega pixel only. Size, feature, build quality and price plays equally important role in choosing the right camera for your need. First time buyers will be very happy if they choose to go with Canon S230.

Summary: This is great to use with your computer
Review: I have always been a cannon fan and this camera is very easy to use. It can be connected to you computer and is easy to use to print pictures to your printer. I like not having to buy film and always able to swap in a fresh memory card which I can then resue once I have downloaded my pictures to my computer. This is a good camera worth the price. Best Regards to all, MC - TheStickRules.Com

Summary: I love this little thing.
Review: I just purchased this camera about a month and a half ago and I love it. I got a new boyfriend so just like my new toy I take so many pictures of him and they all come out great. Also I take pictures of my family and myself. I originally purchased the camera because I'm a graphic design student and we use alot of pictures and photography in our work. I don't want to deal with licensing issues with stock photography and I can avoid all that by taking my own pictures. This camera is great, I thought I would want a camera of more than 4 megapixels but the 3.2 megapixels are very crisp. I have not yet printed any pictures from this camera because but I'm sure I will once I return back to school. So I can't really comment on how the pictures look when printed. I only rated it 4 stars because I think the Optical Zoom [works too slowly]. It's only 2x and that's not too good when you are trying to take some pictures of something far away. Also it takes a long time for when you press the shutter until it actually takes the picture. My boyfriend, his family and I went to this spectacular fireworks show this past 4th of July holiday and the camera took to long to take the pictures of the fireworks. I mostly just have pictures of the black night sky. The only way I could get any thing of the fireworks was to just record it with the movie mode. I also wish I had a bigger card so I could have gotten more than just the Fireworks Finale. Other than that this is a great camera and really easy to use. My three year old nephew can use this camera. He runs around taking pictures of everything using the crisp LCD screen as a viewfinder.

Summary: Pretty Good
Review: I have not had any problems with this camera. The only annoying thing is that the Flash is way to bright so if you are taking pictures at home it really washes stuff out. But then again if you turn the flash off it is then too dark...ah will. If you have the right light though everything is fine. I am planning on trying like paper or something over the flash to mute it. It might work. But good camera. I will be using this for years to come. I recomend the 256MB Viking Flash card. You get more memory. It is REALLY work it. You can get almost 2000 photograghs!!

Summary: You get exactly what you pay for
Review: I owned an S110 before it was swiped from my desk drawer. The little puppy could do quite a lot.I thought that it had all that I needed. I recently bought the S230- it's quite the camera, and now it has more features than I know how to use correctly, like manual ISO settings, manual shutter speed, etc. Considering the size of the camera, the image quality is excellent. However, considering the size, it's easily lost or stolen. On a side by side comparison with a sony camera, the canon tends toward a red shift, where the sony tends toward the blue. This makes skin tones look great on the canon, whereas the sony takes some great landscapes (the sony pictures of the sunset over San Francisco Bay blew the canon out of the water) I have a 128mb CF card, and always run down the battery before the card fills. I haven't tried turning off the LCD to see if it helps. I held back 5 stars simply because 5 stars should be a flawless product. In my mind, 4 stars is still excellent.

Summary: Everything I hoped for
Review: I upgraded from a several-year-old Kodak 1.3 megapixel camera. I bought this based on reviews from this and other sites, and am extremely pleased with the camera. Great value for the price, and the Li-Ion battery makes all the difference. I found it easy an intuitive to use - I was able to figure out how to take, review, and delete pictures without having to read the manual. Now that I've looked at the manual, this camera has just about everything I could want. If I have a complaint, the first few photos I've taken have had issues with Red Eye. It's something I can easily fix, and I believe there's a red-eye reduction option in the camera, but I would figure that would be a default rather than an option. Verdict: Highly Recommended.
