Canon EOS IX Lite APS SLR Camera w/ 22-55mm Lens

Summary: Great APS SLR
Review: I've been an amateur photographer for quite a while, learning on an older all manual Yashica 35mm-SLR. Along came APS, and I went to the simpler automatic cameras.
THe EOS IX Lite takes the best of what APS offers and the flexibility of an SLR. It even has MRC, which the Elph's don't have, and that's a BIG plus in my book.
The first few shots I took were wonderful. I can't wait to give this camera a full run through its paces.

Summary: Surprising
Review: This camera surprised me. I was hesitant to move to an SLR but after months of shopping around I settled on this one. Upon using it on several trips in a variety of circumstances I am confident that I made the best purchase possible. The APS functionality makes having the choice of 3 sizes truly fun and something cool to experiment with. The only drawback is that APS film and developing are slightly more expensive and the film is a little more difficult to find. I've been able to take pictures that I only thought possible by a professional. This camera is much lighter than I expected in one with some much functionality and fits ergonomically in the hand. I can't wait to learn all of the factions it has, but while learning the automatic modes and simple functionality make it as easy too use as a point and shoot.

Summary: Great camera
Review: This is a great small camera, with interchangable lenses and multiple print formats. Can be fully automatic or as manual as you like. Currently three types of film available, ASA 200 and 400 in color, and black and white film. Print quality is comparable to 35mm for prints up to very large sizes (roughly 2 foot by 3 foot sizes.) Film is easily loaded, and can be changed from one roll to another midroll. A good variety of lenses are available from Canon, as well as several other manufacturers. We've enjoyed ours very much, and would buy one again.

Summary: Canon EOS IX Lite Kit
Review: This is a wonderful kit. I found that it was great for me, an amateur, as a beginner camera. The fact that the camera is an SLR, but has easy drop in film loading (APS film) really appealed to me. I would recommend this to any beginner who wants to start with a nice camera that can adapt as they learn.

Summary: Fascinating!
Review: Two camera stores advised against this neat little EOS IX camera because of the APS format. Film size, fuzzy prints, etc. were according to them the drawbacks. They were ready to sell me a 35mm. I don't know what caused me to ignore them, and purchased the EOS IX anyway for our trip to Tahiti. We shot 14 rolls of film, and I came to totally love the APS format - the variety of options in print shapes. After I got used to the great variety of functions (I do not use the full-automatic function), it was an absolute joy to work with this camera. The light weight is a definite plus on a vacation. I purchased a 100-300 mm lens to go with it. The photos we made are our pride and joy. Be sure, however, to have them developed by Kodak! I had to have my entire set re-developed after a fiasco with an in-house developer. (I got my money back.) The only reason why I do not give this camera 5 stars is that I feel the built-in flash is inadequate. I purchased another flash attachment. Otherwise, I highly recommend this camera for the vacation photographer who wants to venture beyond the 'point-and-shoot' little 'box-cameras-for-dummies!'
