Canon Elph LT 260 Zoom APS Camera

Summary: Great Compact Camera
Review: 5{��������ostly use a 35mm SLR camera to take photographs, I wanted a small APS camera that I could use for quick, everyday shots. I looked into reviews of the Canon Elph LT260 and decided to purchase it about a year ago. The Elph takes great clear pictures, plus the 2x zoom and up to 2 second shutter speed are an added bonus. My only issue is the poor red eye reduction. However, I've found that similar APS cameras don't provide accurate red eye reduction either. Overall I'm pleased with this camera.

Summary: Excellent camera
Review: Good cameras are made in Japan. This particular camera, made in Taiwan, has disapointed me more than once. The quality of the pictures is increasingly bad and the investment was a waste of money. Unfortunately, things aren't made as well as they once were.

Summary: default to panoramic
Review: I bought this camera because my old Kodak Advantix stopped working. I loved the size and style of the Elph, but everytime I took a close-up photo, the camera defaulted to panoramic size. At first I thought the camera was defective, so I exchanged it for another one, and the same thing kept happening. I asked the developer, and they said it has nothing to do with the developing process. I am not sure if this is true or not, and Canon doesn't mention this default factor in the manual. After wasting several rolls of film, I finally returned the Elph and got another Kodak Advantix camera. The pictures that did develop normally were sharp and clear however, and I would have liked to keep the Elph if not for the unpredictability of the sizes that came out.

Summary: A great value in a small package
Review: I bought this camera for my girlfriend's graduation. So far, its been great. Lightweight, easy to use, small enough to fit in my pocket and with great picture clarity. My only complaint is that some of the pictures had too much open space on on either side of the picture's subject. Perhaps a better use of the zoom could remedy that situation.

Summary: Excellent camera
Review: I bought this camera for my hiking trip in New Zealand earlier this year. I was extremely pleased with it. It's small and convenient, and the pictures it took came out breathtaking! The flash is quite strong: this camera took great night pictures, even where other cameras failed! I also took pictures from airplains, through the glass, and most photos came out very good. Some (not all!) panoramic pictures aren't as sharp as one would ideally hope, but it also depended on how much I zoomed in. For those of you who are unsure whether the zoom feature is necessary, believe me, it is! The camera is very small, stylish and light, and everyone thinks it's a digital. Changing film was a breeze. I used this camera in some rugged conditions in the mountains, and it withstood the test. I wouldn't recommend using it when it rains, though; I don't think it's waterproof. The only thing I wasn't happy about was the fact that the cord attached to the camera was too short to put aroung my neck. This inconvenience can be easily overcome, though. (Also, I recommend using Kodak APS film and developing it at Kodak, using Perfect Touch.) All in all, a great camera, highly recommended, especially for scenic trips where you need to use the Panoramic viewer: you will be amazed at the quality of the pictures!

Summary: Disappointing Picture Quality
Review: I bought this camera last summer to replace an old Olympus APS camera that I'd had stolen. I went with this Canon APS because I had always been very happy with the APS picture quality, ease of picture taking and because I've liked the quality of Canon products in general in the past. This camera has been nothing but a disappointment. My pictures are grainy; the colors are washed out; the world through the shutter of this camera is drab, dull and blurry. I've tried everything from adjusting the film speed I'm using to switching who I use as a developer...The results are always the same when I get my prints back. Do not make the same mistake I did and waste your money on this camera.

Summary: Inconsistent Pictures
Review: I bought this camera to replace my fabulous Elph stolen during a trip to Mexico. I am very pleased with the size and features of the camera but unfortunately the camera takes very inconsistent pictures. Some pictures come back beautiful and other times I'm left with rolls of disappointing shots. I've taken the camera to Europe twice, once with great results and most recently, 3 rolls were terrible. The size isn't worth sacrificing picture quality so I may stick with my large/bulkier Minolta 35mm which takes beautiful pictures. In reading previous consumer reviews, it sounds like there may be a corrolation between picture quality and processing. I may bring one of the bad rolls into another processing center and see if the pictures come back better.

Summary: I am VERY pleased
Review: I just recently bought the ELPH LT 260 as a christmas present to myself. I have already had 4 rolls of film developed and been very pleased with the quality. The camera has also been to Russia for two weeks and the pictures from the trip were of beautiful quality. The colors could not have come out better. I agree with a previous review that this camera is ONLY for the "causal" photographer. I currently own 4 cameras because I am a lover of pictures and this ELPH is definitly the camera for capturing special occasions and for trips and such. I definitly reccommed it for the above uses.

Summary: Red Eye Reduction doesn't work well
Review: I like this camera a lot except for the red eye reduction feature. Just about every picture I get back has some red eye glare. This is disappointing since the camera otherwise takes very good photos.
