Summary: Cool Camera
Review: I love my Elph! After shooting five rolls of film in Scotland I am very pleased. The pics are clear and bright and I can carry the camera in my shirt pocket. The controls are fairly simple to use and the zoom is a nice feature.

Summary: Great camera!
Review: I purchased this camera about a year ago and I have not had a single problem since! I took the camera to Japan and NYC, the pictures came out far better than anything I've seen before with a film camera. The colors were brillant and detailed, it felt like I was still there. The only problem is that some pictures came out with red eyes, however that was not a problem for me because they fix that at the place I take them to so I never even see the red eye. The battery lasted a year under heavy use, the longest I've ever had before. The controls are easy to use and really come in handy. For the price, this camera is definitely a gem!

Summary: Maybe mine is defective.
Review: I received the camera as a gift. Though the camera is light weight and compact, I was dissapointed to find that the Camera features did not perform as marketed to the consumer. The focus is less than adequate,if you could see through it you may be able to catch a fair picture. The feature for red eye, I would have to ask "is there really such a function?" The majorty of pictures which contain humans, dogs, cats, ect reflect red eye. And if your thinking of using this camera for a active event that may require a bit more rapid advance, be prepared to have photos that are overlapped, that is if the camera even advances the film that you pay more money to purchase and develop. If you are one that has your photos enlarged,(when you get a satisfactory shot) I hope you will not require anything bigger than a 5" x 7", as the film required for this camera can not produce enlargements bigger than the standard 5"x7". So forget making that panoramic picture into a larger size. Needless to say, I am one very dis-satisfied consumer.

Review: I would suggest this camera to anyone who wants a reasonable camera that takes wonderful pictures. I got this camera as a gift a few years ago, and have yet to take a picture that does not turn out perfect. (I do however suggest always using 400 speed film.) I have bought a few of this camera for gifts, and plan do buy more for this Christmas season. I have also talked other friends and relatives into buying this for their use! This is a great camera for a great value!

Summary: The best camera for casual photographers
Review: I'm consistantly amazed at what Canon can pack into such a small package. I took a Canon Elph Jr. with me to Rome in the fall of 1999, and the pictures it took are spectacular. This camera has the 2x zoom feature, but otherwise it's very similar. The APS photosystem is easy to use, and the index prints and negatives that stay in the canister are godsends for those of us who are less organized than some. I was particularly struck by the clarity of the photos, the richness of the colours, and the ease of use of the camera. While the 24mm APS format is smaller than the 35mm standard film, the resolution is still excellent. Far better than any digital camera under $1000. One of the most useful characteristics is the tiny size. No one believes this is a film camera when I show it to them. And because it fits anywhere, I take it with me in my napsack and shoot photos of anything I find interesting. (I think my friends have come to curse this feature!) Paired with a $100 flatbed scanner to scan photos for your web page, or to send via email, I think the Elphs offer a far better bargain than any digital camera or film camera available today.

Summary: A great camera for the "casual" photographer
Review: Investing in the Canon Elph LT 260 camera was a great decision for me! This camera takes great pictures, the detail and color is amazing. Its small size allows me to take it everywhere, and its tough frame and included carrying case keep me from worrying about it getting knocked around or broken. Also, the auto-focus and 2x zoom lens are just enough for me, the "casual" photographer, who uses a camera to capture special occasions, to bring along on trips, or to just have around for the occasional photo opportunity. If you are a serious photographer, this is probably not the camera for your master shots, but I would still recommend it as a fun, bump-around type of camera that everyone can use and depend on for great shots. I took this camera on a trip to Europe, and the panoramic feature was indispensable for some of the landscapes and views I saw, and the classic snapshot was great for capturing smaller details and pics of my traveling companions - I was thrilled with the pictures when I got them back. Again, the small size made it so easy to carry each day. Also, I bought this camera as a gift for my mom a couple of months ago, and she loves it as well - the drop-in film loading was her favorite feature since she'd always had trouble loading her older, traditional 35mm, and she's also enjoying the APS options. My dad has a little trouble with its small size, though, since the buttons are tiny and his bigger fingers and hands get in the way, so that's also something to think about. One other thing that is sometimes a little difficult is the pop-up flash, which can get caught on things, etc, but it's a minor thing, just something to pay attention to when you use the camera. All in all, this is a great camera, and I think the price is a bargain for all of the features and ease of use that come along with it. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a take-anywhere camera that offers lots of versatility and guarantees great shots.

Summary: "The Camera for Dummies"
Review: My husband quickly abandoned his larger more sophisticated camera for this little jewel that I purchased for myself. We travel a lot, have grand children we adore, and send out a Christmas card collage every year. This camera is just the best...and a great price! However, I recently lost the nifty little carrying case which is why I am searching this website. Alas, there doesn't seem to be an available replacement. If you purchase, hang on to the carrying case!
