Summary: Good camera
Review: Easy to use. Cool 2.7x Zoom. Cheaper than the elph2 or 370z. The only thing thats missing is the changing film in mid-roll feature. I enjoy mine, its a great buy.

Summary: Good little camera
Review: I bought this for my wife and used it on our recent vacation. The picture quality was fair, but I think that can be fixed by getting the correct speed film (we bought a bunch of 400). At one point my wife exclaimed "thanks for buying me such a fun camera." Enough said...

Summary: Everyone loves Elves.
Review: I have 2 of the Elph models and I must say I think they're the best APS cameras available. They are incredibly compact, very sturdily built and take wonderful pictures. The LT270 has some fine features, the best of which are the true-image viewfinder that allows you to see what your selected APS mode will actually encompass on the print (this may help you avoid the dreaded error of having selected the wrong APS setting and shooting an entire roll in panoramic), as well as a very smooth 2.7:1 zoom and a better than average flash unit. Whichever Elph you choose, you'll be pleased with it for years to come.

Summary: Great replacement camera
Review: I have a 10 year old Minolta 35-mm camera that I've just about beaten up. So, I borrowed this camera from my sister for my trip to Europe last month. The color and B&W pictures came out great. I especially loved the panoramic feature for those broad Italian landscapes and the great outside shots of Versailles and the Louvre! The only time the pictures didn't come out nice ... and this is my only complaint ... was when I was taking shots in a dark church or taking night shots. More often than not, those pictures came out blurry or grainy. Maybe if I used different film (I only used 400 speed while I was in Europe), or held my hand steadier it wouldn't have been a problem -- I'll have to play around with it a little. Otherwise, it is a great camera! Perfect for traveling -- light, compact, and inconspicuous. In fact, I plan on buying one for myself before my next trip abroad!

Summary: Small and conveniant!
Review: I have one of those very expensive Nikon's, it takes fantastic pictures, but it is big and very heavy! I needed something I could carry around in my purse for those "I wish I had a camera!" moments. Having a son they are a lot more frequent! I decided to try the Elph, and when I got it I was suprised how light and small (maybe I'm just used to big and heavy?) but I decide to hurry and test it to make sure it took decent pictures. When I got my pictures developed I was very pleased. I tried it in low light and bright outdoors, it did well on both. Of course, with all small cameras, because of where the flash is located, you cannot avoid red eye. Only the flashes that detach can, so that is to be expected. Other then that it is perfect for what I need it for. I would certainly suggest it to anyone.

Summary: not bad
Review: I have owned this camera for about six months now, and overall I like the compact design, the variety of features it offers and the pretty decent zoom. If you also have a Canon EOS, slow your trigger finger, since the autofocus of the elph is not quite as snappy as the one on your high performance SLR. The flash is very limited in range, so this is ideal for indoor shots at smaller parties, but not at bigger events where you want to cover some distance. Twice I have had problems with fresh APS film involuntarily rewinding and popping out of the camera as used even though only one picture had been taken, but that may have been an issue with the film rather than with the camera. The zoom and autofocus use up quite a bit of battery juice, and the power will go pretty much without warning, so if you travel, have extras handy.

Summary: cool camera!!
Review: I have purchased two Elph LT270s: one for me and one for my mother-in-law. She loaded her film, but it wouldn't advance and the film door jammed -- absolutely NO Trauma -- that is until I was sure I could get it opened and broke the latch. Even after replacing the little door, it jammed again with a new roll of film. Then mine wouldn't advance the film one afternoon. I replaced the film and it works fine, but it just seems too finiky of a system for carefree point and shoot fun.
