Summary: great for day-time shots
Review: With a camera this small, it is hard not to take it everywhere. I have shot around 20 rolls since November, and my only complaint is the red-eye reduction - it simply isn't good enough. The picture quality varies with the aps film. I am very happy with the iso 200 and 400 film. all-in-all a solid and stylish performer.

Summary: Now I'm wondering ... and hoping
Review: I received this is a Christmas Gift ... the user manual is heavier and thicker than the camera, but the instructions were pretty straight forward, and I got it all "programmed" just fine. Half-way thru my 2nd roll of film, the view-finder quit ... no image in the finder, just blackness. I called Canon Customer Service and they were flabbergasted, but found a service agency fairly close to where I live, and said it would be fixed under terms of warranty. Good ... wonder how long that will take. The only other feature I would have liked is a "bulb", or "time-exposure" setting for lowly-lit interiors (castles, cathedrals, etc.)

Summary: Surprisingly Fine!
Review: After two cassettes, one ASA 200 and the other ASA 400 I am very pleased with the Elph 2. Easy to use, great resolution and perfect exposures. My Nikon F3 will probably not be out of its bag very much from now on. A perfect pocket companion.

Summary: Small in size and quality...
Review: We're in the process of returning our little elph friend. It was really cool at first and everyone loved the compact size. (We kind of showed it off a little at a couple of parties.) But after a recent trip to Disneyworld, we were comparing our photos to ones we took a couple of years ago with a 35mm camera and the quality of the elph is pretty bad. (I even met someone at Disneyworld who also had an elph. When I asked her how she liked it she said the quality isn't all that great but it's small.) I think if you're deciding between having nothing and a small APS, then at least you got the shot, otherwise, why sacrifice the quality of an important picture?

Summary: Surprise Honey!
Review: I saw this advertised on TV last year just before Christmas and I started to act like a child in a candy store! Fortunately my husband noticed my glee and surprised me with a camera for Christmas. I was in love! With the camera that is and my honey of course. So, I had barely unwrapped my gift when my husband proceeded to "teach" me how to take pictures. He was extremely protective over the camera for some reason. Later, I found out the price and realized why. I was just handing it around for everyone to try. You can't see the nice carrying strap in the picture, but it has one. This prevents you from dropping the camera. Well, it is simple enough for a child to use and has a delightful mini zoom. The best part is that I can control the size of the pictures. I can choose panoramic, close up or regular and then zoom in and out to my hearts content. I take pictures with this camera and then have them put on CD or disc. It is easy enough for now. You will love all the features. The battery is not hard to find and do buy a few of them to have on hand. I always seem to run out of batteries and then am stuck without a camera. The nice little leather case has a belt loop on it, perfect for traveling! The camera pops in and out of the top and there is a nice Velcro flap to keep the camera safe when not in use. All I can say is thank you honey, you made my Christmas and this is cute, cute, cute. Did I tell you how cute this is?

Summary: I love this camera!
Review: I bought this camera in July of 2000 to replace my 35mm point-and-shoot that had died (after only 14 years! <G>). A week after I got it, I left on a trip to Colorado - not normally a great idea, to take a brand new camera that you haven't had a chance to get used to on a trip. I got amazingly good pictures back, however - better crispness using 200 speed film than 400 speed - and the panoramic feature for mountain/valley type shots was fantastic. Since then, I've taken it on three more trips and shot about 8 rolls of film. I haven't had any trouble at all with the camera and the pictures are consistently excellent (except when I do stuff like cover the lens with my fingers . . . hardly the camera's fault!). The small size is very helpful too - I feel pretty dumb walking around with the little carrying case on my belt, but that way I DO have the camera every time I need it, and it's not quite as dopey as having it slung around my neck. I don't remember when I ever got this excited about an electronic product - there isn't anything I'd change about it.

Summary: Not All It's Cracked Up to Be
Review: I decided to get the Elph2 after seeing rolls and rolls of incredible photographs a friend had taken with his original Elph while touring Europe. I have been disappointed over and over again as each roll I take continues to come out with the low-quality pictures some APS cameras have become notorious for. Still, the sleek design and incredibly small package make it decidedly difficult to give up... if only it took as fabulous pictures as it's older brother!!!

Summary: Amazing little 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 came out beautifully. The Elph 2 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 great for those of us who aren't terribly organized. All the canisters stay in a book-sized holder with the index prints. As a result, I give far more photo gifts than I used to, because I always know where the negatives are when I need to order reprints. 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. Because it fits anywhere, I take it with me in my napsack and shoot photos of anything I find interesting. If you purchase a $100 flatbed scanner to scan photos for your web page, or to send via email, these Elphs offer a far better bargain than any digital camera or film camera available today.

Summary: Buy the Samsung APS instead...
Review: I was so excited to get this camera. A of friend of mine had the original Elph and I really like its sleek design and the great shots it took. I decided to spend the dough and get an Elph2. I only got to enjoy for it through ONE roll of film until the unit malfunctioned. I sent it back to the "authorized" service center who claimed they "fixed" it and low and behold, it happen the very next time I tried to use it. Canon says they do not have an exchange policy so I'm stuck with a unit that may continue to freeze on me indefinitely. I've had the camera for months and have yet to enjoy more than 12 exposures...
