Summary: Simply Amazing!
Review: I waited in anticipation for my purchase after intense reviewing on the internet. I am so impressed with this camera. I also purchased an additional 128 mb compactflash card. The "package" that I purchased from Amazon included an 8 and 32mb cards which I will store in the included case for backup.

The quality of the photos blows away any photo that I have taken on my 35mm. Your first mission should be to try the macro mode. The detail is great.

I am now hooked on DIGITAL...anyone want to by a used 35mm?

Summary: Best Value
Review: Love this camera. I bought it and would not part with it for anything. Easy to use, set up, and transfer pictures. Most of the camera functions are so straightforward you really do not even have to use the manual to know what is going on. I do recommend buying the rechargeable battery kit; it is well worth the money -- have recharged the battery enough to pay for the charger.

If this comes off of out of stock. ORDER IT FAST.

Summary: Best so far
Review: The Cannon S10 was the first digital camera I have ever owned, having bought it close to two years ago. I decided to up-grade to a higher megapixal camera so a few days ago I bought the Minolta 404. I wanted a camera that I could add audio to the pics so I would know when I downloaded the pictures what pictures they were. Seen one mountain, seen them all but which is which? I figured the added audio would solve that problem. Second, I wanted a camera that was small enough to carry on my belt but able to shoot short movies, like when you see wildlife walking. So I spent big bucks, bought the Minolta 404 took some pictures with it at the settings I have my Cannon set to and was very disappointed in the quality of the pictures. I just arrived home after returning the Minolta 404.
I may not be able to add audio to my pictures with the Cannon S10 but one thing for sure, it shoots far superior, cleaner and clearer pictures then the Minolta. Lets face it, audio would be nice but quality pictures is what I really want and the S10 Cannon is the best so far. By the way, the Minolta had 4 megapixals and the Cannon has only 2.1 but the pictures of the Cannon are a lot better. I have several photos blown up to 8 X 10 and they are great. Don't buy [an expensive ]camera and print on a [cheap] printer,,,you will be disappointed. With a good camera and a good printer you can't go wrong. I use a HP Photosmart 1218 printer. Nice thing is I can take the media card and use it directly in the printer and download my pictures that way without using up batter power. On batteries, I use a battery charger and always keep an extra batter on hand and never have I had any problems running out of power. I also don't use the LCD screen, just the view finder.

Summary: Power Sucker
Review: The Canon Powershot S10 is my first digital camera. I think it is great fun and really easy to use. After about ten minutes I was taking pictures and editing them on the computer. Although it is easy to use and takes high quality pictures, it sucks the battery dry in about an hour or so of use. So I would recommend buying the power supply kit and at least one extra rechargeable battery so the [disposable] batteries don't suck a hole in your budget.

Summary: A Fantastic Camera, A Great Value
Review: The Canon S-10 is perhaps one of the best compact digital cameras out there. Everything about this camera says canon quality. The body, except for the battery and flash storage doors is all around metal. Front plate, top, back plate, lens bezel, all magnesium and aluminum. Another reviewer talked about breaking one of the doors, I'm not quite sure what sort of torture test he was putting his camera through. It's a camera people. Not a hammer, or a brick. Dont drop it.

The next great thing about this camera is, well the lens and the CCD. Canon gained alot of experience in building small optics with their hit Elph Cameras, it is employed here. While small, the lens is a fast f 2.8 giving you an edge over most digital cameras, as you can better utilize existing light, without having to resort to flash. The CCD, image sensor is bar none. I think it may be the best 2.1 megapixel sensor made. This camera produces great images that unlike on other digital cameras, dont need to be sampled down. They're very low noise, and when printed produce good 8x10"s. I would say that the S-10's practical resolution is on par with most point and shoot APS cameras. Another plus is the Low-Glare Color LCD on the back of the camera. Best of any digital camera I've used, and I use it alot to frame pictures. For the more experienced photographers, the S-10 has some manual controls, Exposure compensation +/- 2 stops in 1/3 increments, Selectable White Balance, Spot Metering (with real time preview through the LCD screen) and Variable ISO 100-400.

Downside: This camera uses 2CR5 Lithium photo batteries which are expensive.. Canon does make a rechargeable battery, and a charger (Kit DK10) but it dosent come with the camera in the US. So you will probably want to spend a bit extra on one of these. My only other nag, is the lack of a PC connector for an external flash. But this camera is more of a point and shoot, so that's a little superflous.

Other nice things: USB suppourt, and suppourt for IBM's microdrive cards, so you can cram 1GB worth of picture storage memory into this little silver camera.

It dosent come much better than this.

Summary: Almost perfect
Review: This camera is great, but it sucks the life out of your battery. Five stars if you buy the recharger, four stars if you dont

Summary: Great Digital Camera
Review: This is the best digital camera that I have used. I have had the camera now for 14 months with great success. We purchased the camera when our child was born. We have taken around 600 pictures so far. We put the pictures on the web and email them to friends. I think the real advantage of the camera is the quality of the photos. We have printed alot using our color printer and they come out pretty good even at 8X10 size(very old printer). We have also had alot developed through Shutterfly and other developers that you cannot tell the difference between those and other 35mm photos. We even compared pictures with a friend who had a 35mm photo of basically the same shot and ours was better....Buy the camera you won't regret it.....

Summary: Awesome Digital Camera Package
Review: This was a great value. We were very pleased with what we received for our money. I was just looking on line with my wife's cousin for him to buy but this item is currently out of stock. Too bad.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We've got two of these and are very pleased
Review: We've had TWO of these cameras for over a year and are very pleased. The best part of this camera is that it's small enough to fit in a pocket, while still being powerful enough to take great pictures! The 2.1 megapixels is more than enough to print out crisp 8x10 enlargements of your favorite pics.

And the current price is a steal! A year ago, we were willing to pay almost twice as much for this camera - and that was without the 32mb card bundled in. The 32mb card is such a great addition. It lets you shoot over 35 pics in one sitting on the best resolution. That's more than a roll of film! And that's in addition to the 8mb card that comes included with the camera.

Amazon has put together a great package. A powerful, compact camera, with enough memory to shoot to your heart's content.
