Summary: Good Device for Fun
Review: You will have a lot of fun with this little gadget. But, some extra peripherals and function improvements are necessary for more interesting in photographing.

1. An extra battery 2. Battery low alarm (I don't want change battery at the critical moment.) 3. An extra CF card (at least 32M) 4. A belt bag or neck strap (You don't want it drop to ground from your shirt pocket.) Enjoy it! Have fun with it!

Summary: Great camera
Review: After doing an insane amout of research, I decided to try a couple of different cameras. The first one I purchased was the Canon S100. I was petty sure the size would bother me, but after only a couple of minutes of picture taking I really began to love the camera. I would love compare it to the next camera I tried, but I couldn't let go of the Digital Elph long enough to try another. I carry it with me all the time, and I am suprised by the number of pictures I have taken... I recommend this camera with out hesitation.

Summary: Makes taking pictures fun again!
Review: I have a 35mm camera outfit that cost quite a bit of money a few years ago. So, why the small Digital Elph, rather than one of the other cameras with better resolution or picture quality? because, unless it's small, I won't cary it around. If I won't cary it around, I won't use it, and if I won't use it, what's the point?

I've taken the camera to Australia and back, and I've been consistently impressed with the high quality pictures it's produced. I can print out full page pictures (8.5x11) which look great! It's so small and easy to use, you'll find yourself taking a lot more pictures. I highly reccomend the S100 Digital Elph! (I also reccomend an additional memory card, for added shooting freedom - 12 pictures on the included 8mb card is not enough for vacation snaps)

Summary: Smaller not always better
Review: I don't disagree that this camera is a good one. I've been a Canon afficionado for some years. However, I have found the ELPH series can be difficult to use because of their small size. I would not give this as a gift to someone who might have difficulty seeing the tiny symbols on the camera body, or to someone with large hands who might have trouble adjusting the micro-sized buttons to set the camera. The larger Canons still have the edge over these mini-sizes, especially in quality of photos.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nice job, Canon
Review: This is my third digital still camera and it's the only one I use regularly. The others are too big and more complex. The ELPH fits in a shirt pocket with only a slight bulge. Controls are natural and easy after a little practice. Canon's minimized buttons to allow fast shooting in hurried situations such as (impatient) group photos. Settings can be memorized so that you don't have to reset controls each time you power up. The only things to improve to get the perfect camera are: a little more zoom power and another megapixel or two.

Summary: Fantastic Camera For Your Average Photographer
Review: I've struggled for years with supposedly high-quality point and shoot 35mm cameras delivering astonishingly inconsistent results. The Canon S100 destroys this problem. I've had this camera for roughly 3 weeks now and I've taken approximately 250 pictures. The results are superb...both in print and over the computer.

The computer interface (I use Windows ME) was a no-brainer. Absolutely no problems whatsoever with installation or use.

Uploading photos to your preferred online printing shop (OFoto, etc.) is simple and straightforward. The quality of the printed shots is outstanding. So far my prints have all been 4x6 and the clarity is outstanding. I'm NOT a professional but I am pretty picky and to my eyes the quality of the S100 prints live up to the very best shots I've ever taken with traditional 35mm cameras. In fact, the number of "bad" shots is substantially less than with the traditional 35mm camera. Consistency is just outstanding.

I've purchased the Viking 64MB memory card (great price here at Amazon) and find that it works very well and that it is plenty fast.

Low light shots could be better but I haven't found this to be a limiting issue.

Bottom line...buy this camera and prepare to take more quality shots than you've ever taken before. It's a beautiful thing!

Summary: S100- An Update
Review: I reviewed the S100 in early July 2000. I would just like to give an update of my experiences since that time. This camera and my printer (Epson Photo Stylus 870) have rekindled my interest in serious "point and shoot" photography.

Over the past 5 months I have taken over 1,000 photos and printed out several hundred. Every person who has seen these pictures have raved about the quality. They all comment on the level of details in these photos which are not seen in drug store quality prints. I have become the unofficial photographer of events within our circle of family and friends.

Since the S100 is so compact and easy to use, you won't mind taking it everywhere. Even the most casual photographer will be able to capture the magical moments of life. For me, that's the most important purpose of photography.

Summary: This is the one to get
Review: This wonderfully small digital camera produces fantastically good pictures printed on any decent photo-quality printer (with photo quality paper). It will not replace your high-end 35mm SLR but it's a great toy to keep near you at all times for snapshots.

The only negative comments I have about it is that I personally find the small controls hard to use (my 48-year-old eyes have trouble seeing something this small). I have had some annoying problems with the software on my Windows 98 machine; basically I have to uninstall the driver everytime I disconnect the camera or the computer will look for it, not find it, and crash the next time I restart the machine. I would not recommend this camera for the naive computer user.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME Camera!
Review: I recently bought this camera and to say Im pleased with it is an understatement. First it is very small and very well built (heavy for its size), it has a beautiful resolution, the photos come out IMPRESIVE. Its very simple to use, if you are looking for quality and impressive resolution on your photos LOOK NO FURTHER! its worth every penny! ENJOY!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Full Disclosure
Review: The USB connection between this camera and the computer does not work it you are using NT 4.0 as your operating system. You should make this VERY clear in your product description. Not everyone runs the popular consumer operating systems.
