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!

Summary: I got a lemon!
Review: Nothing on this camera worked liked it was supposed to and I spent the good part of a day trying! I kept getting a error message and the focus would not zoom in and out like it was supposed to. Now I am back to deciding if another Elph would not be defective.

Summary: A superb camera!
Review: One of the main reasons I first started to look into the Elph collection is that I needed a new camera, and the Elph was small enough to fit in all the places I like to keep my camera's in. Second, the amount of features was overwhelming; 2x zoom, four flash modes, drop in film, a timer, messege imprenting, date and time imprenting, and mid-roll change. After I had looked at it a little more, I decided to buy it. And, it was one of the less expensive Elph's. The camera works great, and the three different types of picture shapes (Paneramic, HDTV, and Classic) make taking pictures even easier. If you are considering buying a new camera, take a look at the Elph LT 260.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: The camera has the virtues and vices of the APS system--It is small and convenient to carry, has multiple picture size options, and is easy to use. But I am very unhappy with the picture quality compared with my ELPH LT Sport. The pictures are a bit blurry in comparison. It may matter to some that when you remove a film cartridge, the roll is set to "exposed", so you can't switch film speeds without sacrificing the remaining shots on the roll being removed. Not an awful camera, but not the best. I purchased this camera to replace my stolen ELPH 370, and am less satisfied with it than with my older camera.

Summary: Out-of-Focus
Review: The photos from the first roll came out great in terms of color and focus. But the last 2 rolls have produced mostly out-of-focus photos so I'm very disappointed right now. Hope most of you are having better luck with this specific camera.

Summary: An awesome fun camera
Review: This camera is an absolute Gem, You could never ask for more, the controls are little but once you figure them out it is so easy! I really like this camera!

Summary: Great camera
Review: This is the first camera that I have ever owned, and love it! I took it on my vacation to Florida and it captured the sunsets, beaches, architecture, and everything else with amazing clarity and color. It is easy to use and very lightweight. I highly recommend buying this camera. The only thing negative I have to say about it is that my finger has shown up in the top corner of some of my pictures, although this is most likely a user error more than design flaw.

Summary: Easy to use and very compact
Review: Unlike the reviewer below, I enjoy this camera. Its compact and can be taken anywhere easily. If you want a camera for everyday pictures and for vacations, I would recommend it. Unless you are a professional photographer, you are probably not going to be taking very many close up pictures and it shouldn't pose a problem. The instructions also clearly tell you that for close ups you shouldn't use the panaramic setting and more is in the frame below the viewfinder. I have had no problems with this camera, just point and shoot, its that easy.

Summary: A terrific camera for precise situations
Review: Whilst not quite a point and shoot product this camera is intuitive to use and delivers an almost infinite variety of choice by varying format and focus.
Somewhat larger and heavier than the basic ELPH LT, it is nonetheless small, rugged and totally reliable indoor or out at any time of day or night from southern Africa to Canada.
My first time using the camera I was somewhat intigued by the way the flash and motorised zoom lens popped in and out, but I was soon accustomed to this.
Pictures have been uniformly excellent, allowing for operator error.
If you wish for a camera which will give you the reward for a little care in composing a shot, then buy this one with total confidence.
