Canon Elph2 APS Film Camera

Pros: reprint selection, small size, 2X zoom, APS, midroll change
Cons: low picture quality, difficult option selection

The Canon Elph 2 is a moderately priced (around $250) APS camera which offers a good range of functions and has acceptable image quality, in a very small package.
The camera is tiny, as are several of the newer Advanced Photo System cameras, and...

Pros: Small, Lightweight, Takes great pictures, Wonderfull Closeups
Cons: The film and developing costs a bit more then 35mm film but only about $1 more

I bought a Canon Elph2 camera on Saturday. It is very small, the size of a pack of ciggeretts. It is just great. The easist camera I have ever used. It lets you take 3 differnt types of pictures. You can zoom in for closeups, it has auto focus and auto...

Pros: small, looks cool, great pics
Cons: almost too small, expensive

Admittedly, I bought this camera because it looked cool. I have never owned a camera, and being a technology geek, I just had to have this one. What a surprise when I got the pictures back the first time. All I can say is that this thing is amazing....

Pros: Tiny... Lightweight... Easy to use
Cons: Tiny controls

I took this camera on a London vacation and I have a great collection of photos to prove it!

The Elph 2 is truly a pocket camera... tiny and light-weight... which is why it is such a great vacation camera. The Advanced Photo System allows you...

Pros: Easily fits in any pocket so you can always carry it with you!
Cons: It takes a little practice to take the best photos with this fun camera.

This camera rocks! It's the best camera I've ever used and it's fun. The Elph 2 fits right in your pocket, even your jeans pocket, so you can take it with you everywhere all of the time.

It's also less likely to be lost or stolen since you...

Pros: TINY! Good quality, very easy to use.
Cons: Really small buttons

The Elph2 by Canon is tiny! When the ads say you can put it in your pocket, they are no exaggerating. This is the first truly handy, portable camera I've ever owned. I love it.

I had been wanting to buy the original ELPH camera since it came...

Pros: Compact body, High quality APS photo's, many advanced settings to meet every photo situation
Cons: It's easy to place your finger over the lens when taking a picture.

My first impression was....It's so little!

Little it may be, but don't underestimate it's technology or quality.
I just developed my first 2 rolls of film from this camera and the prints came out every bit as good as I expected them to....

Pros: Small
Cons: Easy to put your thumb over the lens

I have been snapping pictures like Mr. Griswold since I got this camera on Christams day. This thing rules. The new 24mm format is effortless and far better than the old bulky and awkward 35mm.

I especially like the burnished chrome front...

Pros: still a great camera design and construction for the money
Cons: still poor red-eye reduction and weak flash

These are additional comments regarding the Elph2.

I strongly urge Elph owners (all models) to purchase the remote controls available (RC-1 or RC-5 about $20) and a small mini tripod (Clampette @ $10; Giotti @ $20; Ultrapod @ $10 from REI or...

Pros: Light, easy, fast, cute
Cons: less than professional optics & metering

A vacation dream camera. Very small, very light, easy to load, easy to operate. On the other hand, if you want professional looking vacation photos you will have to drag that SLR with multi lenses and all the other goodies which help to make all your...

Pros: rugged, outstanding size and user friendly, great value
Cons: wish it had better red-eye reduction and greater flash range

It is very obvious that Chester, in his Epinion, is highly familiar with 35mm photography. Just a minor error that does not detract from his Epinion in any way - he notes that the flash modes include a "rear-curtain, (night mode) function. This is...

Pros: Rugged, well-designed, easy to operate, great value, take-anywhere/anytime camera
Cons: Flash could be stronger and brighter red-eye prevention light

The new Canon Elph 2 replaces the original Elph. It is still the same rugged stainless steel body and I would hope it is as reliable and tough as the original Elph. It is slightly smaller. It is a bit thinner so the total mass is about 20% less but...

Pros: Size, ease of use and style
Cons: Slow Shudder Speed

“My Baby.” That’s my name for my Elph 2. I had the original Elph Jr. and loved it so much, that I bought the sequel. I took 100s of pictures and found it to be the most reliable camera for a fast moving person like myself. I’m not a professional; I just...

I've used it many times, and i've had mine for a while. it's still good and it focuses very clearly on any range of objects. One of the most important traits is that it's small and very lightweight, so i can take it with me to almost anywhere, like when i went to a party, it fit inside my "party" purse. When you take pictures, it truly eliminates red eye, unlike other cameras. I have recommended this product to many of my friends and they have all been quite satisfied with this miniscue and efficient camera.

I've had the Elph 2 for over two years. I love that the camera is small & easy to use, however I've consistently been disappointed with the picture quality. I've tried using high quality film and highly recommended developers, but nothing has worked. As a result of the poor picture quality I don't use this camera much anymore. I was entirely disappointed with the pictures from my trip to Hawaii and have never forgiven the camera because of it. For vacations, I've reverted to my bulky, but totally trustworthy professional 35mm. I have friends who use the original Elph and the picture quality is much better.
