Summary: Little Killer
Review: This puppy is a piece of art + machine all in one. The miniature size and high quality production materials make this product a thing to put on a pedestal. But what do you care if it doesn't perform? Well it does just great in all sorts of light conditions. I've taken it to Washington State where the sun don't shine too brightly with Fuji 200ASA - great panoramic shots with good color. After 6 months with this camera - I haven't used my 35mm Olympus. However, those of you who are really into detail will find the Advanced film quality slightly unacceptable. The controls are just fabulous - the best is the zoom lever - immediate zoom speed without a lot of time lapse. The actual zoom ratio isn't that great but you have to give up something for its size. It's got all the standard red-eye, fill-in, timer functions, plus a bunch of nifty time-date-stamp buttons. The back display gives you all the info in logical layout. The only thing you need to watch out for is the standard 2-step focus and shoot process. Because this gem is so small, it's easy to move the camera while trying to get a good shot. And if you're thinking about the Elph 1 versus Elph 2 - I've seen 2 of the Elph 1's in the camera shop with its flash stuck in the up mode.

Summary: 5 Stars for Canon Elpl 2
Review: I have shopped for a camera for a year after trying many other. I have purchased 5 cameras in the last 6 years from a Richo 35mm point and shoot to a Nikon APS in which all I have had to through away. I highly recommend The Canon Elph 2. It is a very easy camera to operate with alot of bells and whistles. Colors are so bright and accurate and the clarity so crisp. I have had no problems and it is so handy, fits right in my pocket or on my belt and Kodak now makes Black and White film for it. I also recommend 400 speed film.

Summary: Great! ( while it lasted)
Review: I got this camera in November and i must say it is a terrific camera. It takes wonderful pictures, and the small size is to die for. It looks like something out of a James Bond movie. You can carry in on your belt and you hardly know its there. Well, anyways I went to Paris, and it got into some difficulty when i accidently dropped it off the Eiffel Tower....(just kidding). I actually took out the film incorrectly, and it displayed an "H" and would not let load another roll, now i have been waiting for it for 6 weeks for it to return for service. If i don't get it back soon i will have to get a new camera, maybe one of those olympuses.

Summary: Perfect for Everywhere
Review: I love my Elph2 Camera. I use it all the time, its so small it's no hassle to throw in a bag or a purse, it'd even fit in a hippack if you're blading. Since I've got the Elph2 at Christmas, I've taken over 10 rolls, and it's not even june yet. So much in fact that I'm thinking of getting the canon digital elph, which looks the same but is digital. I recommend this camera to everyone I see. It's a joy to use.

Summary: Perfect for those who know what they want...
Review: ...and want small, cool things that cost too much. This is a really sexy device, goes well with your Palm V and your tri-band GSM cellular phone. The zoom isn't very powerful, it's only slightly more rugged than its predecessor but all your friends (especially if they work in technology) will cream themselves over it. It is the same size as a packet of cigarettes, it is finished in brused aluminium and it has a superfluous remote control. A truly post-ironic piece of kit and sexy with it.

Summary: Forget The Rest -- This One's The Best
Review: GREAT CAMERA! I purchased this camera based totally on its size and "pocketability". After playing with it for a few weeks I've learned that it's quality is superb (all metal case), the controls are intuitive (the shutter is surrounded by the zoom lens and the rear of the camera contains a panel that monitors all vital functions of this great little camera). The photos are surprisingly clear for an APS camera, with three versatile formats controlled by a toggle switch adjacent to the eye piece. My only dislike about this camera is that the red-eye function is not as effective as it could be. Most indoor photos still have this problem when developed. Another small glitch not with the camera but with the photo processors is the IX date function does not always appear on the film when developed. I was told that not all processors use equipment that is compatible with the IX date function. Panoramic shots using 200 speed film (I personally prefer Fuji Nexia)are very clear with very little grain. Overall I'm very satisfied with this purchase. As a matter of fact, based upon my satisfaction with the APS ELPH2 I purchased a Digital Elph three weeks after this camera. The ELPH2 is a must have if you're looking for a moderately priced, quality point and shoot APS camera.

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! ). 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: Great camera, poor pic quality w/ Kodak film
Review: I've switched over to a Canon digi-cam, but I used the Elph 2 for a couple of years. During those years, pictures taken on on the Elph 2, just never turned out right. They were either grainy, suffered from color saturation, red-eye, you name it. That is until I discovered the magic of Fuji film. I had up until that time used Kodak Avantix APS film exclusively, believing that paying more meant better quality. Wrong! Fuji film is not only much cheaper, but my prints were awesome in every way possible. In fact, my last set of photos were taken on the streets of Las Vegas during the late-night hours, plus lots of indoor pictures in a dimly lit room with the shades drawn...but every picture turned out, if you will, picture perfect. I can't bash Kodak, because it's the only film I've ever used, and bottom line, it's the best. But when it comes to the Canon Elph 2, you should switch to Fuji film. I guarantee, you'll see the difference.

Summary: Best Point and Shoot on Market
Review: I bought this camera 3 1/2 years ago to take with me when I moved to Germany. It's small enough to fit in your jeans pocket, but makes cleaner and better quality prints than I've seen in a point and shoot camera. It was very durable and lasted several years of use overseas, and I'm still enjoying its compact size and light weight here in the states. If you are in any way intimidated by the digital camera age, and would like a small, versatile APS camera, this is it!

Summary: Nice camera
Review: Takes great pictures - I get comments on the good quality of the photos. I do get more red-eye than I expected. The size is wonderful, because I can put it in my purse. I often wish it would take the pictures faster so I could get those split-second shots (I suppose the auto-focusing takes time). The zoom is adequate, especially considering how small the camera is. I've heard that APS photos are grainier than 35 mm but I haven't noticed it myself. Great camera.
