Summary: Great camera, great price!
Review: I have owned a Canon S100 for 2 years and liked it. This smaller version corrects all the problems of the earlier design. It's lighter, a touch smaller, easier to use, more features (with literally bells and whistles), takes better pictures (no blue cast). The battery charger is smaller (easier to travel with), etc. etc. I picked it up at Best Buy for 269.99, as they price matched their online price. The only downside is the SD cards are more expensive than CF cards and the zoom is only 2X instead of 3X on the S100. A small price to pay for the size and convenience of the better camera. Highly recommended if you like a small camera with all the features that is easy to use.

Summary: a customers misunderstanding
Review: i have read a few reviews about the canon sd100 digital elph. I have one of my own and i wanted to explain to those people that are saying the memory cards have a defect etc.... i dont know about all the problems but i dont know about the little memory card error message some people have came across. before bashing this beautiful and very exceptional camera, make sure you insert the card correctly. i had the same problem with the error message when i first turned on the camera.. i opended up the little lid and realized i didnt insert the memory card correctly. until you hear a click, then that means the card is correctly in place..... thank you

Summary: Love this little camera!!!
Review: I just received my camera just in time for Halloween...it takes great photos...no red eye!!! The only problem I had was with the battery life. I could only take about 50-65 photos with the LCD on before the battery started dying. So I'll have to purchase another battery. And of course Canon only sends you a 16MD secure digital card so I purchases a 256 MB card for about $80. But this camera is totally worth it!!!!

Summary: Fantastic Little Camera!
Review: I just received my Elph a couple of days ago, and it is fabulous. The size is unbeatable -- just pop it in your pocket and go! -- and the picture quality is great. I've been particularly impressed with the color in the photos and the color effects achieved when using the manual setting.

Set-up for downloading pictures to the computer was a breeze -- about 5 minutes.

I would highly recommend this camera at this price.

Summary: Where are my pics?
Review: I lost about 70 jpegs because the SD100 kept corrupting the SD cards that I purchased. It was very frustrating taking really great pictures and then having the corrupted data screen come up. The pictures disappeared. I spent about a day trying to figure out what was happening, but I found out from Canon that some SD100s need a firmware update. I was referred to a website with the updates and downloaded the update (beware, some SD100s don't need this update and a download could render such cameras inporable -- except as a door-stopper). So far everything has worked fine, but everytime I press the shutter, I am jittery. Canon should have a warning about this on their website.

If you are spending this much money on the camera not to mention the SD card (multiple SD cards if your data is corrupted), you should get a product that is not going to fail the first time out of the box.

Summary: A must have camera for people just starting
Review: I love this camera and hopefully you will love it too. It is so easy to handle and it takes the user up to 10 minutes to actually get the hang of it. I use this for everything; taking pictures of my me and my family, taking pictures for my school newspaper and pictures of the girls! I only rated it 4 stars because I wanted people to take me seriously. (5 stars are a bit stale and corny and hard to believe) But I can guarantee that you would love this 3.2 mp from digital cameras heaven. Trust me

Summary: Point and Shoot
Review: I orignially had an Olympus C700 but I needed a camera that I could take with me on hikes. After much research, I found the Canon SD100. Now there is a model above it but you pay $100 dollars more. I wanted a camera that would be able to take decent photos of the wilderness that I was exploring and be VERY portable. There are some things I found out and you can explore as well:

The manual features are memorized. I had some trouble with the Olympus resetting every time I shut it off. The Canon takes all photos in max resolution minimum compression.

The ISO settings are not true. As stated in another review, they seem to be one step up. Therefore, ISO 50 is actually ISO 100 and so forth.

True view photos are seen thru the rear window. Although I don't like to see the photos I am about to take thru the digital window in the back (battery conservation) I have found that what you see is what you get when you use the window in the back. It has been taking some getting use to.

Hope this helps you out. I am happy with the SD100 and I will soon be posting many pictures on my website. Great luck shopping and as always, Amazon rules.

Summary: I won't buy this camera again...
Review: I owened this camera for over six months now and I must say the picture quality is not all that.I owened previously, the S110 and that camera rocks.The SD100 night pictures have these glare circles on the pictures.You could take a nice picture and have this ugly circle your face or somewhere in the frame.I don't know the cause,I called canon they said to use manual setting,but then why should I have to? the S110 never needed it...I exchanged the camera for another one thinking it's a manufacturer's defect, same thing. I had my graduation pictures with blotches on them from this.I'm trying to get rid of this camera I hate it...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent camara for 300bucks
Review: I really like this camera. But if someone knows how to use it as a webcam, please help, I really appreciate it.
I have a Creative webcam NX Pro but the image quality is really poor (even at highest quality setting) and the rate is slow (I use USB1.1).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: yeah-get this camera
Review: I started with a Canon A60. Happy with it and upgraeded to the A70. Both became too heavy and slow. Got rid of that and tried the Canon SD100 and it has everything you could need, except a decent sized SD card to start. I recommend getting the bigger SD card right away so you don't get this great camera and don't use the capabilities. It takes great pictures and you have to have a SD card capable of handling it! It's worth the investment. Great camera.
