Summary: expensive disposable camera
Review: This camera broke within a year. Canon did not back their product and when they sent it back to me it was inoperable and unusable.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Fuzzy Pictures, Random Flash
Review: This camera is terrible. Problem is, I didn't know it until a year after purchasing it. Rarely used at first, then used it on a few trips and events with very disappointing results, after I couldn't return to the store. I figured the first terrible (fuzzy) pictures were my fault for some reason or other, but have come to the conclusion this camera was a waste of $. Also, sometimes the flash just shoots off, even when no flash is selected. Based upon the other reviews Canon should issue a recall for this piece of junk. DO NOT BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Is it true?
Review: This Camera saved my life!

Last spring I went on vacation with my girlfriend...

We were in Tokyo...just walking...talking..
shopping..having a great time.

It was 70 degrees..with a gentle cool breeze...
My girl looked great..I looked great.:)
It was the perfect day!
(OH! The camera...It was in the front pocket of
my jacket)

Then POW! out of no where a woman ran out of a shop..
hit me in the shoulder...She turned around looked directly in my eyes... raised her arm and fired a .38 caliber bullet into my chest. They said the force of the bullet knocked me back 8 feet..through the shop door....And....

I'm sure you all know what I'm about to write...YES!.. The bullet hit the stainless steel camera. Causing it to enter my lung instead of my heart.

I have now fully recovered from this tragic event.
The women that shot me claimed she was
having a nervous breakdown due to an abusive husband and an addiction problem. She is on the street again.
She never apologized.(thanks!)
I didn't get to keep the camera...it was used as evidence.
But I now have a new one....
It's a good camera...pictures are a bit grainy...but I'm not a very good photographer either..
This camera is easy to use, maintain and carry..I recommend the
front pocket. Have a great day! Wade...Texas.

Summary: Yes, Sir, that's my baby!
Review: This compact camera is easy to carry around, and I just drop into my purse so that I can snap pictures anywhere. I love photography, but one of my bad habits is succumbing to the creative need of insatiable picture taking -- and then not developing the rolls of film.

I have another APS camera with 10x zoom, but it is not lightweight, and partially used rolls of films hide inside. What I love about the APS-format is the ability to take a roll of film out of one camera and insert it into another, even if some pictures are already on the film. So, I can check whether film is used or not, quite easily with the automatic film loading and advance features

APS-format also lets me set the coverage of the camera in three frame types. One is focused on center object without much background. Next is for group shots that elongate the lens area slightly more. The panoramic view is a large rectangular coverage. The self-timer function means that I also get to be in the picture. It seems that I was in very few family photos because I was always the one behind the camera; now I am a participant.

One of the pictures I took in this format is of my niece at her wedding as she danced with and kissed her new husband. It is a striking photograph because it is focused on them, and you see the floor, decorations, lighting, and can feel the dance and their movements to get a true impression of this moment.

Generally, I forget when I took a picture unless it is coded on the photo, especially since I may let the film sit in a camera too long. This excellent feature and stays on time and date.

Because I love this little Elph I give it 5 stars, and wish you great success with your photography as well.

Summary: I like it.
Review: This is an easy to use camera. The zoom feature works easily, and the picture, in any format, is framed well.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not very impressive...
Review: We bought the Elph Z3 for our baby's first Christmas pictures and we are sorry that we did! Nearly every picuture was blurry and everyone had red-eyes...so much for red-eye reduction! What a disappointment!
FYI...APS film cost more to develop and even more for black and white film, some shops don't develop APS either.
I've had [cheap]cameras produce better pictures. The Z3 is getting returned today!

Summary: Canon Elph Z3 Zoom
Review: When I purchased the camera, I was impressed by its small size and the camera was easy to carry in my pocket. The camera was easy to use too. Unfortunately, the camera is poorly made, and the H light (signifying a mechanical problem) began flashing after the second roll of film. The camera lens failed to retract, and I had to take the camera to a repair shop for repairs. Buyer beware!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BROKEN AFTER 1 USE!!
Review: Yeah, it's cute, but it doesn't work too well. The first roll was fine, and thereafter, the film wouldn't load properly. It took 8+ tries to get the film loaded the second time around. In the middle of my third roll, the camera just stopped working. The lens didn't engage after opening the shutter door.

I'm in the process of returning the camera to Cannon, which will take 3 weeks before I see it again.

I'm pretty unhappy with this cutie. If you buy it, get some kind of extended warranty.
