Almost a perfect camera

by chuchoi , Mar 10 '03
Pros: Small size, ease of use, features, rechargeable battery
Cons: Easily toggled video/camera switch, CompactFlash memory is slow
My wife received this camera as a birthday gift from my parents last fall, and we absolutely love it!

First of all, it's very small and built solidly. I realize that I never used my digital camera before because I didn't like lugging it around...

What a great little camera!!!

by peaches00 , May 15 '03
Pros: Great Picture Quality, 3.2 MegaPixels, Real small. Fits anywhere.
Cons: Takes a while to learn all the features well.
This is my first digital camera I ever used, and I really love it. I think the fact that it has a stainless steel body makes it look really great, and not only that,but it makes it durable.

The S230 is called "The World's smallest...

Good things come in small packages!

by fasb141 , Mar 03 '03
Pros: Small size, easy to use, great pictures, battery charger, stylish
Cons: Limited optical zoom
I recently purchased this camera (my first digital camera) and I have been very impressed so far. The camera itself looks great. The stainless steel frame is very sturdy. After you have held this camera, all others will seem like cheap plastic toys....

I Love This Thing...

by mblalock , Dec 05 '03
Pros: Size, solid/sexy build. Point&Shoot manual mode. Very extensive manual advanced user mode
Cons: Navigation through commands are confusing and the instruction manual sucks. Read it anyway and practice.
Ok, get yourself a pair of Dockers geek pocket pants and this camera is going with you anywhere you please. I personally love the lens cover on auto-close; I know this way, the lens is protected while in my pocket. The new batteries are 840mah but if...

Great Travel or Daily Point & Shoot Camera

by holeydonut2k3 , Mar 05 '03
Pros: Very good build quality and feel. Relatively easy-to-use and robust.
Cons: Battery life seems to vary between good and merely adequate.
For objects 6 inches or greater in distance, the S230 does an amazing job in its ability to take crisp, clear images. I have had very little problem with the auto-focus. Due to its size, I have found it very convenient to carry in a variety of places....

by roots3020 , Oct 12 '02
Pros: Size, 3.2mp, W/B Histogram, Ease of Use
Cons: No Case, Somewhat Pricy
After 3 years I finally decided to go digital and bought myself the Canon Elph s230 3.2 Mega Pixels camera. Being a college student, I chose the s230 for its size and picture resolution. What can I say… when your having fun, it is always good to...

Lil' beauty

by mrjaemz , Dec 10 '02
Pros: Size, ease of use.
Cons: Not that great for action shots.
This camera rocks! I've had it for about a month. It's tiny, light, and really simple to use. It's so great to be able to toggle through flash modes, white balance, and shooting modes (single, burst, timer) with dedicated buttons on the back panel....

Not just a gadget.

by njsimon , Jan 17 '03
Pros: Can keep in pocket. Takes great pictures.
Cons: Complicated advanced controls.
I really like this camera! Originally, I was looking at a much bigger camera (one from the Nikon Coolpix line), but, after a recent trip to Europe, I realized that my friend with a digital Elph took the most (and best) pictures.

The small...

Great little pocket camera

by sirspendsalot , Sep 10 '03
Pros: Small, Tough, Power Efficient, Not Complicated, quality images.
Cons: proprietary battery, shutter lag
This is a very durable yet compact camera. It fits in my pocket easily and has a stainless steel case that seems to be very tough. I took it to the grand canyon along with my Olympus C700 with the 10x optical zoom and the cannon had the truer color ca ...

Pros: Small,Easy to use
