Summary: Needs a stronger flash
Review: I like the size and portability of the camera. The pictures are clear. I have noticed that pictures taken at night are somewhat dark. I believe it is because the flash is not very strong.

Summary: Dissapointed customer
Review: I only put three roles of film through the camera and the LCD display went out. This controls all other functions and the camera can no longer be used. The company will not cover the repair under warranty and the repair is almost as costly as the camera. I will never purchase another Canon product.

Summary: For the love of God don't buy this camera
Review: I purchased this camera last year and was very happy with it until recently. For some reason I have trouble when loading a new or partially used roll of film. The letter 'H' appears n teh LCD screen and all the functions do not work. I've had to remove the battery a couple of times to get it to work (I don't know why this works) but lately it hasn't worked on the first few trys. Canon has not helped with this at all. This camera is a complete waste of money. If anyone can tell me what the problem is or recommend a better APS camera I'd appreciate it.

Summary: Buyer beware of this camera!
Review: I received this camera as a gift 2 and a half years ago and loved it during most of that time. The problem with this camera is that once the warranty expires, the camera will soon follow! It started flashing 'H' (meaning the camera no longer works) shortly after the warranty expired. Good luck getting any help from Canon, after months of trying, they wouldn't help out at all. They won't even tell you what is wrong with it unless you agree to pay them for repairs! Search the web and you'll find this happens to everyone. This camera is junk and you should avoid it like the plague...

Summary: Very Happy with my camera
Review: I received this camera last Christmas as a gift. I've used it for one full year and have really enjoyed it. It's so easy to use and not a bother to carry around with me. The photos have been enjoyed by all the people that I have taken pictures of and they were surprised on how bright and clear the results were. I recommend this camera to anyone who wants a fuss free camera.

Summary: Wonderful Little Camera for a Wonderful Little Price
Review: I recently purchased a Canon Elph 370Z Kit and I highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a new camera. Although it is a but a tiny point-and-shoot device, it is rich in features that much larger models only dream about. It has all of the wonderful features of the Advanced Photo System, including the midroll changing feature. The zoom lens is quite capable of telephoto or wide frame pictures. Also, the camera's intuitive distance sensing and shake warnings ensure clear and crisp photos of any subject or scene. My main reason for purchasing this camera was travel. I bought it with the intention of using it simply when I was travelling, but I find myself using it in place of my clunky SLR. Highly recommend!

Summary: Excellent features!
Review: I replaced my Pentax point & shoot with the Cannon Elf and I'm glad I did. The regular/wide angle/panoramic shot selection is fabulous! The red-eye reduction worked great as well. The fact that it is so small is a definite plus also. The only thing that could be improved upon is that the zoom feature. I would have liked it to be a greater range so you can get even closer on far away subjects.

Summary: The Best of APS
Review: I shopped around at a number of photo shops and read all of the available camera reviews from numerous sources before selecting Canon's ELPH 370Z. The small size and many features make it the perfect camera for the amateur photographer. While on a recent trip to Germany the 370Z sat in my front jeans' pocket the entire trip, which assured me of never missing a shot of my friends and the beautiful scenery. And for a camera this size and ease of use it really makes itself flexible for all kinds of conditions. For example, as opposed to 35mm film, APS camera film is contained in a small cartridge which you literally drop into the camera and close the door. It's like changing a battery. There are three settings for the exposure size: 4x6, 4x7 and panoramic. And if you change your mind about the size after the pictures are developed that's no problem. A shot taken in 4x6, for example, can later be redeveloped into a panoramic. The zoom lens on the 370Z is also very handy 23 to 69mm, and APS cameras work in a 24mm format. So 69mm would give you roughly the same view of a 35mm camera with an 85mm lens. The 370Z also offers mid-roll changing, just pop the existing cartridge out and pop the new one in. The only problem I had with this camera was far away scenery shots. For anything more than 150 yards away or so, like a mountain range, the background seemed to be less defined than the same shot with a 35mm SLR (a friend of mine on the trip had a 35mm so we could compare). I don't know if that's a short-coming of the APS technology or my particular camera. But for the majority of us amateurs who take pictures mainly of friends and family this is a wonderful little camera to have. Other features include red-eye reduction, rapid shutter for fast moving shots, off center focus and a flash setting for night time shots that picks up the background lights. There isn't one camera that is right for every job. So next time I go back to Germany, I'll probably invest in a 35mm SLR with a large zoom for those scenery shots I love to take, but the 370Z will be right there with me for all the others.

Summary: Terrible camera, Worse customer service
Review: I used this camera once and it took relatively good pictures. However, on my next trip, the camera's internal memory stopped working (this is a problem that other people I know have had with the camera). Worse than the camera's malfunction, however, was the company's refusal to service the camera under warranty. Moreover, when I sent the camera back, they refused to write a letter justifying the lack of service. I would not buy a piece of Canon equipment. Save some money and buy an Olympus Stylus, which has served me quite well.

Summary: ELPH 37OZ is the best!
Review: I would like to say the the Cannon ELPH37OZ is worth the money. I have struggled in the past with cameras and decided to buy the best one available. There hasn't been a bad picture yet, and no problems with the camera. Pay the extra money and get this one rather than some cheap inferior camera
