Summary: The Best!
Review: Even for people on a low budget this season, this is a great, fun, easy-to-use gift.
I have owned one of these for almost 2 years now, and have found many ways to get exactly the picture I want. With three photo sizes that change in the viewer, one is always guaranteed to know approximately how thier photo will turn out. Though not particularly inexpenxive, the APS film system is reasonable, and the pictures turn out great! For a younger, or older, aspiring photographer, this is the camera to start with!

Summary: Capable Little Snapshooter
Review: After years of lugging 35mm SLRs around (all now on the junkpile) and going through a string of disposables, I bought this little camera and have been very pleased with it. The APS format makes film handling idiot-proof. The photos are generally good; however, redeye can be a concern indoors. Also, I noticed that the camera has a relatively shallow depth of field, but I'm sure most low-cost cameras share this trait. I literally take this camera everywhere and use it often with a tiny plastic velcro-enhanced tripod that allows me to attach the camera to trekking poles, railings, fenceposts etc. The sheer portability and simplicity of this camera makes it a joy. I've caught photographs that others with their clumsy 35mm SLRs (no matter how automatic they are) couldn't hope to get. I heartily recommend it as an easy to use snapshooter, a second camera, or even for photography students looking to discipline their composition skills. Note: this inexpensive camera does not support APS mid-roll film changes, but heck, if that were really important, you could buy two cameras and they'd still fit in your pocket!

Summary: For the price, for the size, hard to beat
Review: First used this camera at the Las Vegas CES show last month, all pictures came out perfect, including all the night scenes. I used the 400 speed film indoors and 200 speed film outdoors; had no problem with the flash by observing the maximum distances outlined by the guide. It's light to carry and simple to use. The only shortcomings are the tiny buttons to switch flash modes - I have to use my keys or toothpick to depress them. I got this camera from another retailer (Wxxxxxx) at a lesser price.

Summary: Great Camera
Review: great camera, i bought it here and its given me the best pictures of all my previous cameras, it fits in your pocket, and is the size of a pager, with the width of 2 pagers. nice handy camera, film cost is alittle more, but well worth getting great panoramic pictures!

Summary: great camera
Review: i bought this camera right before a trip, and was a little nervous using a new camera. i was not disappointed, every picture came out crisp and clear. the size is great, so small you can easily put it in your pocket. the different settings are good too, especially the panoramic. film, batteries and developing may be a wee bit more, but it is definitely worth it. i've owned more expensive cameras that did not take pictures this well.

Summary: Not a bad little toy
Review: I first received my Canon ELPH LT as a Christmas gift in 1999, and two and a half years later, it still takes the same quality of picture that it did on its first roll of film. In fact, it uses such little power (mostly due to the absence of a zoom lens) that in the time I have owned it, I have only replaced the battery twice. My camera has had an extremely rough existence, including three months in Africa, but it has never stopped working or needed any repair. And the panoramic lens took some awesome landscapes that my friends with expensive 35mm cameras couldn't take (and their cameras wouldn't fit in their pockets!). I have had only one problem with the camera, and that is that the print on the casing rubs off if your hands are often sweaty when you take pictures. It's not a huge problem given that by the time it had come off, I already knew what all the buttons did, but it would be nice to not have to explain them to other people. But other than that, it has been a perfect camera! Next up for me - the digital ELPH!

Summary: Quality & Versatility
Review: I got the ELPH before heading to JazzFest in New Orleans a year and a half ago so I wouldn't have to lug my 35mm rig around. Turns out, it isn't just inexpensive -- it's also a heckuva point-and-shoot camera. I was surprised by the quality of photos it produced. Sharp, clean...usually well-balanced flash (although it has its moments). It has some limitations, but photo enthusiasts will be able to figure them out pretty quickly. I even found a couple settings that allow me to be creative in low light settings in nightclubs.It has become my everyday camera (football games, birthday parties, JazzFest), while my 35mm and medium-format are for more specific "shoot" purposes. So small it fits in a pocket; so light you forget you have it with you; so capable you'll wonder why you didn't get one sooner.
