Canon Elph2 APS Film Camera

Pros: Small, lightweight, versatile even attractive.
Cons: Controls are tricky to manipulate for large fingers/hands.

My wife and I are very active outdoors people along with our three boys, two of whom are active scouts. We recently found ourselves in need of a good all around camera that would be both versatile enough to meet our needs and small enough for...

Pros: small and lightweight
Cons: maybe a little expensive

I was looking for a new camera to purchase with not really one in mind except that I wanted to make good use out of it and have decent pictures. I chose the Elph 2 because of its size, durability, and features. But until I started using it did I...

Pros: small, many features, great photos, easy to use
Cons: Anti-red eye takes too long to flash causing occasional missed photos

The Canon Elph 2 is one of the greatest gifts I received after my first child was born. It is so compact and easy to use. Before I had the Elph, I would go to play groups and birthday parties and always seem to miss the "Kodak Moment",...

Pros: Everything....great achievements from the Elph 1
Cons: Need big album - BIIIG album - APS cartridges are not flat - doesnt store nicely

Judging by the current reviews, I gather most did not read my original Elph2 review before it dropped off the end of this post. So I shall share it again.

At first I was taking lousy...

Pros: Easy to use, lightweight, SMALL!
Cons: Tad fiddly for some settings

I agree with most of the reviews on this unit, and seemingly through all of these reviews truly all pluses and minus' are explored. I am no photo pro, I use the camera for family outings, social functions etc. I have owned several cameras, all of which...

Pros: Size, Features, MRC, APS, etc...
Cons: more zoom!

I've had my share of cameras; 3 bad experiences and one good great camera. Amazingly enough my one good one is about 15 years old! I can't really complain about the other three, because I really got what I paid for, they were your regular automatic run...

Pros: Very tiny, good pic quality
Cons: Cheap leather case, not "perfect" pics

I first went looking for a camera because I needed something VERY small, since I was travelling to a country with a very high crime rate, so I needed something I could put in my pocket and not be noticed. I looked at a few of the other APS compact...

Pros: Good Cameras
Cons: Lousy Film

I have had the misfortune of owning not one but two APS cameras; fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me.

The first one that I purchased was the original Canon Elph. This camera was widely touted as the best APS on the market and...

Pros: Size, images excellent
Cons: Gimicky, tiny controls

I bought this camera prior to having our first baby. I have taken about 15 rolls with it since, and it is excellent. The photos are at least as good than my father's Leica point and shoot. Provided you get in close enough, the flash is great and the...

Pros: size, ease of use, stainless steel, sleek look
Cons: not for professional use

First of all, I have to say this camera is NOT for everyone.

If you are the kind of person that goes on vacation and packs
tripods and lenses and different type of film for different
times of day and always have a light meter...

Pros: ease of use, size
Cons: none

I purchased the Elph 2 because I was looking for a cute, compact APS camera, and because I've been pleased with Canon cameras in the past. I've taken two rolls with my new Elph 2, in a variety of settings, and am very satisfied with the results. I...

Pros: Small, convenient size; mid-roll change
Cons: harsh flash

I've been toying with writing this review for a while now, but was a little intimidated by some of the other reviews already here. Yes, the expert ones. I am the farthest thing from an expert in this category that you will ever find. It finally hit me...

Pros: Sharp pictures, Easy to carry
Cons: Flash properties not great

I have always owned a big, bulky Olympus camera that I sincerely love.
However, since I've decided to participate in the Avon 3-Day Breast Cancer walk, I wanted a camera that I could carry in my pouch to capture the moment.

I am totally...

Pros: take it anywhere
Cons: small buttons

Have you ever said "I wish I had my camera?" Well you no longer have an excuse. My husband gave me this camera after we had our first child. I keep it in my purse.

The Elph II is a nice looking compact camera. It is very durable...

Pros: size; convenience; coolness =P
Cons: flash isn't very strong; only 2x zoom

I have to admit that I bought this camera on a bit of a whim. I just liked the way it looked. I had originally intended on buying another Olympus Stylus camera for my sister, to replace the one I that I had kidnapped and taken to college with me, but I...
