The newly introduced Powershot S45 is a stylish little four megapixel digital camera aimed at advanced amateur photographers who want a full slate of advanced features, lots of creative input, and compact size. Canon retained the stylish brushed ...

Pros: Tons of cool features. Pocket-sized and stylish. Great for photography novices or enthusiasts.
Cons: Only minor ones.

The Canon PowerShot S45 is the lowest of Canon's "high-end" line of cameras (one step up is the PowerShot S50, then the G3, then the G5). As such, it is perfect for the non-professional photographer who needs a compact camera for everyday use, ...

Pros: Great combination of features from Canon Powershot S230 and G3
Cons: 3x zoom lens, battery life, price

What is it with Canon digital cameras and me... I seem to be a sucker every time Canon releases a consumer or prosumer level digital camera. After purchasing the S230 and G3 in the last few months, I see the S45 released to the general US public....

Pros: Compact size , good quality LCD Display , 4 Megapixel , All professional features
Cons: Expensive , expensive additional battery , small size Compact flash memory card

Canon Power shot is a small sized camera - 4.4 x 2.3 x 1.7 inches to be precise. Its length and height are quite small but is a little thick. This is because the camera has an optical zoom lenses that reside within the rectangular shape of the body of...

Pros: Excellent pictures, plenty of creative controls and very beginner-friendly too
Cons: Can only take proprietary battery pack, a bit on the chubby side

Canon S45 In a sudden deluge of digital cameras I now have three additional ones to play a ...

Pros: Wonderful 4 megs camera with many options for the amateur and professional!
Cons: Software and small initial storage unit.

I just purchased the Canon PowerShot S45 about a month ago and have to say that I am just about 100% happy with it. I have always been a Kodak or Pentax user so this is my first Canon. I will start with the only couple of cons that I have found so ...

Pros: Great Optics, rugged, simple, small, loaded with options
Cons: complicated manual mode, small picture view control buttons

I've enjoyed photography for a few years, and own a fairly sophisticated SLR setup. My wife is the "point-and-shoot" type. If you have to do more than zoom and press a button to get a picture, she won't do it. So, when we were looking for a digital cam ...

Pros: Excellent picture quality, robust design, plenty of controls
Cons: a bit weighty for its size and battery life could be better

I got my PowerShot S45 camera in summer 2003 for $420 what seemed to be a good deal almost two years ago. And more I have this camera, more I love it and extremely satisfied with its quality and performance. When I opened the box, I was impressed by a ...

Pros: Small size, great pictures, semi-pro features.
Cons: Kinda pricey for some.

*****update november 2004********* We love this camera. Recently, my brother bought a Pentax. When he came home from a trip to Switzerland, he showed us the pictures. I was frankly surprised at how many out of focus and incorrectly exposed pictures he ...

Pros: Size, several shooting modes, sleek, great results, easy to use, price
Cons: Not as small as newer models, weighty, slow to start up.

I've had the S45 for about 3 months now. It's first outing was on a cruise through the Mexican Riviera. It was used mostly as a snapshot camera and I didn't get many opportunities to try out all the cool settings. The BW, Sepia and Vivid settings are ...

Pros: 4 Megapixels. Movie mode. Great pictures!
Cons: Clunky software. Price. Battery goes quick.

First I must say that I'm far from a professional photographer, I'm just your average amatuer and this is my second digital camera. My first opinion about this camera is WOW!

You've seen the other reviews that list what this camera can do...

Pros: Small, feels good in hand, great picture quality, custom controllable shutter speed and aperture
Cons: battery and small initial CF card, only 3x zoom.

I have owned this unit for more than 3 months and have shot more than one thousand pictures with it. It satisfied me so much that I have almost no complaint on this unit. Its small size can just fit to my pocket so that I can carry it to wherever I go. It ...

Pros: Excellent photos Easy to use Long battery life Quick
Cons: Can't hold the camera sideways when shooting movies No zoom in MPEG mode

This is the third digital camera I've owned, and by far the best. The first isn't worth mentioning, and the second was a Kodak CX4300. The picture quality with the Kodak was comparable to the Canon (given that the Kodak was a 3 MP and the Canon is a 4...

Pros: Compact, great picture quality, lots of options, raw format available
Cons: Poor battery life

I got this camera as a present, but the one carefully selected by me. My co-worker suggested it to ...

Pros: Great quality photo's, easy to use for a novice and robust case.
Cons: The price and software.

I searched and searched before i purchased my first digital camera and eventually decided on the S45. The reviews I had researched and dollar for dollar value compared with anything close to it swayed me to hand over my cash.

Am I happy? You...
