Great camera, houses great Canon lenses.
For its time and price (at the time), a fantastic camera.6.3 MP is more than sufficient for most amateur and semi-pro (non-studio) work, and this camera works very well with what really matters:Canon's fantastic lenses.Battery life on this camera is very good.The "shutter lag" (between when you depress the button and when the camera actually takes a photo) is fairly well non-existent, and the only real lag I have is when I am shooting multiple photos in RAW format.As most photographers know, the lens is almost more important than the body, and outside of Leica lenses, I don't think anything really competes with Canon's line.The 18-55 lens that comes with this camera is sufficient for casual work...I used it at the beach, and on hikes with my dog, when I don't want to lug around my bigger, more expensive, higher-quality lenses.But for $75 or so, you can have a 50mm 1.8 EOS lens, which will supplement the 18-55 nicely, particularly for night photography.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVEthis camera
I have had this camera a little over a year and I still can't put it down. It is wonderful. I have two little boys on the move and this camera takes their picture with hardly any delay. Just snap and go. I bought my dad the XP in March and he loves it too.

Not bad for first time DSLR buyers but seriously lacking in several areas
I have had this camera since Jan '05 and have so far taken approximately 10,000 shots while on trips and at weddings.

Buyer Beware
We bought this camera last October....It is small and compact which is a major plus.I have noticed that 80% of the pictures I have taken, have the red eye.We just recently went on a cruise, and the camera does not take very good quality pictures inside a comedy club with decent lighting... the people moving around were blurry.Lastly, when I went to power on the camera yesterday, it makes an awful noise, and then the screen blinks the canon logo, then goes black with an E18 error.I contacted Canon, and its not covered by warranty, and the repair will cost more than the camera did new.They claim that it was due improper use or mishandling.The camera went dead while it was on, and the shutter is left extended... Recharged the battery, and now the shutter will not go back in... and thats MISUSE?I will never buy another Canon ever...which is why Im at Amazon.com right now to purchase a new camera.

Best Point and Shoot for the Price
I've used this camera in some of the worst conditions you can imagine. Being deployed to Iraq, I've used this in 20 Degree to 130 Degree heat, sandstorms, being banged around, etc.
So so portable.....
Had the SD20 for nine months. The portability is the best. So small and lightweight. Friends are amazed at the quality of my pics including some close up Macro pics taken from 2 inches away. Great for reviewing pictures through the TV and just delete if you don't like them.

Canon's latest crowning achievement, the PowerShot S100, packs a high-quality digital camera into the tiny, elegant body of Canon's Digital Elph series. With this item, Canon becomes the first to produce such a small digital camera with high resolution. The super-popular Elph APS cameras were favored because users could slip them into shirt pockets and take them anywhere. Now the digital camera has truly come of age with this ultraportable model.Read more

Digital Camera that thinks it's a tank!
I bought this camera when i was a sophmore in college.And now, 2 years out of college, a handfull of beautiful days, a half-dozen life changing moments, and umpteen vacations later it's still goes with me everywhere and snaps photographs.all the sticker labels on it have since been knocked off but it doesn't matter because i know what they all do.This puppy is built to last.When I eventually pass this one down in the family and buy a new one, I'll be getting another canon for sure.
One of the better *compact* cameras for beginners
I bought this camera for the same reason many of you are considering it, or have already bought it--it's size.It is amazingly small, it's hard to believe all that has been packed into this camera.I take it with me everywhere,literally, it is so small that I am able to keep it in my pocket, and I don't have to fear that it will get ruined in my pocket because it is so durable. There is also a small covering for the lens, so you need not worry that the lens will get scratched.
Very handy second camera
I've had this camera for three years.I bought it new, when it was cutting edge and very expensive.I put a 128MB CF card in it.

Gotta Have it!
The PowerShot S230 Digital Elph camera is truely a usable camera. The instructions are clear and concise. The rechargeable battery and charger are a perfect companion for this camera. All pictures come out great! It makes taking pictures easy, fun, and compact. I recommend buying a case with too, because it is sooo small! pocket size!

Greatest little camera!!!
What a work horse, plus the great size, just fits in my shirt pocket. Battery life is outstanding, but get a backup, plus this one uses compact flash so I was able to get the Sandisk II 512meg CF card also at Amazon for about $100. It's so good I bought a camera for everyone in my family.

Great Camera
I got this camera after looking around and comparing it with others.I'm glad I decided to go with the S230 for many reasons.Read more

Canon Will Replace Defective Image Sensor on A70
I think this is a great camera for the reasons stated by many reviewers.
FANTASTICCUSTOMERSERVICE
I had purchased the camera on Amazon to give to my daughter as her first digital camera. It was used, and had only a 64MB CF card as its only acessory, no cables or software. On the second day, all I could get on the display while pointing at a light was a slightly purple screen. I went online to Canon, checked under the model number, and found a few things out. Some of the ccd's were made by a third party company, and they were sensitive to heat and humidity. On the A70 page, it said to contact them, and they will check it out and replace the ccd for free if it had not been damaged by dropping it. They sent me, by email, a shipping label for free shipping. After one week, they emailed me and told me it would be a free repair and would take 7-10 working days. I just yesterday received the camera, and WOW, what a surprise!! Canon had replaced my older A70 with a BRAND NEW IN THE BOX WITH ALL ACESSORIES POWERSHOT A520!!!!!
Okay for everyday pictures, fuggedaboutit for anything demanding
I've had this camera now for a little more than 2 years and I am ready to throw it out the window. I take flower and plant closeups as a hobby and the focus zones for the lens are unpredictable and uncontrollable even in manual mode. About 60-70 percent of the closeups I take come out Completely Useless because the camera has chosen to focus on an element in the frame that I did not want to emphasize. For example, a leaf to the side will come out sharp, while the flower itself is an utter blur, even on "macro" mode, although the frame was composed with the flower at dead center. What's worse, when the image is previewed on the screen on the camera back, it appears to be fine!

This is an awesome camera... until it breaks.

Another broken screen

Editorial Review

Quite simply, the Canon PowerShot G2 is an elegant, easy-to-use joy of a digital camera that boasts impressive 4-megapixel resolution, a 3x optical zoom, a bright LCD monitor that swivels off to the side of the camera and tilts up and down as needed, and maximum overall creative control in addition to a fully automatic mode. Of course, none of this comes as much of a surprise to anyone familiar with its popular predecessor, the PowerShot G1. Both of these cameras have features and picture-taking modes similar to Canon's EOS cameras, which means they have what Canon calls a "very camera-like feel." Some of the G2's more obvious improvements over the G1 (besides higher resolution) include a champagne gold finish, larger grip for easier handling, improved image and color quality, new photo-effect shooting mode for various effects, including black-and-white and sepia, and a new high-speed selectable three-point autofocus.

This is a very sturdy, semi-pro - Excellent Camera.
This is the kind of camera that is a joy to use and explore. I have been using this along with a Digital SLR for about 3-4 years now and it still works great. I must have shot over 10000 shots using this camera with most shots being exceptional. The lens is fantastic, build is rugged, battery life is exceptional. This is a classic camera worth keeping for many years. For an avid photographer, the Powershot 'G' series is a good camera to have along with an SLR.

A masterpiece of a digital camera
I've had this camera since April 2003, and it has been one of the best electronics purchases that I have made.I've taken about 5,000 shots with this camera to date, and the image quality with all of them is outstanding, even by today's standards.
G2 in simple words
The G2 is a special camera. I bought it after 3 months of research in December 2002. It was a time when Canon had fixed all previous issues with the G1 and was improving on G2 to release the G3. I wanted a digital camera that can be used as a point and shoot one and also some advanced features for me to do some pro kind of photography and guess what I concluded and bought... the G2After having it for more than 2 years, I think I can write a reasonable review of it. It is a simple advanced camera !!! Sounds like an oxymoron, but it really is that. It is simple enough that an average Point and shoot person can use it and advanced enough that a pro can do some good shots with it. It has enough options in the preset modes to give a quick nice picture in each of those modes and also has a set of manual features for more creativity. The pictures are clean, crisp and nice. It has the largest lens compared to any camera in that segment. The software that comes along with the box is good value for money & sophisticated. I do not have to list the long line of features that this camera gives for such a small price

Nice Camera - Terrible Lens Cover Design
My experience with this camera has been pleaserable for the most part.However, the lens cover is another story.The lens cover openning and shutting is the key to get the camera operating. After seveal years of use, something happened where the lens cover would no longer shut, making the camera in-operable.I sent it to Cannon for ~$150 service.After getting it back, it worked properly for a few months and then the same thing happened!I'm now in the market for a new camera (I can't keep pouring $$ into this one!).

Great camera with pitiful battery
I use a Canon film SLR but bought this digital camera for everyday use. The camera in itself is great, in both quality and flexibility. However, the battery never lasts for more than about 30 shots, it does not matter whether the display is on or off. True, it recharges relatively fast but my regular camara has batteries that last forever. I am thinking seriously of selling this one just because I am tired of seeing the dreadful red symbol.

Love this Camera
I have not one complaint about this camera.This was my first digital camera.I have had it for 3 years now.It still works like brand new.I can take excellent quality pictures, quick download and even take great video that I have made all sorts of home videos using.I have never once had a problem with it and I use it almost 3-4 times a week taking several pictures or video at a time. ...

Love this camera
I was in the market to buy a new camera last year and walked into BestBuy alone just browsing.I have an older EOS Canon Rebel 35mm Camera from 1992, and I loved that camera too.
Take the "pro-sumer" title seriously
This camera has been called a "pro-sumer" model and you should really take that title seriously. The quality of the pictures that it takes are just as good as a professional digital camera of the same resolution. The trade off is that it is really not happy being thrown in a bag (or big pocket, if it fits). Why? Because Canon have given it a really annoying power-on switch that is guaranteed to turn the camera on 90% of the time when you're moving it to or from a bag. To compound this problem, the lens extends (in your bag), pushing off the lens cap and leaving it open for possible damage. So, if you think of this as a professional camera, to be kept in a real camera-case, you'll probably be okay. If you're somebody, like me, who likes to throw his camera in a bag or pocket, you're going to be annoyed by the power switch. That said, I do LOVE the quality of the pictures and all control that the camera gives you over every aspect of taking them.
Two weeks old and dead
I am a semi professional photographer and loved my Canon G2. So, I was sure my upgade to a G6 would be a pleasant experience. I took the first 20 pictures with no problem. Then, for no reason the camera stopped. Full battery charge...no display...nothing. Tech support suggests returning and replacing the camera. Hoping the next G6 will restore my confidence in the brand.

Don't buy this if you have active children
This camera does a little of everything, video with sound as well as images. The pictures it takes can be fantastic. Unfortunately the subject has to be pretty still or in very good lighting to get a good shot. I took this camera to a soccer practice of a bunch of 10-year-olds in the daytime with heavy cloud cover and not a single photograph turned out. That included the few I used the built-in flash on (it couldn't focus). I also tried shooting some pictures at an indoor game that were disastrous because of the quick subjects (10-year-olds again) and low lighting.
Good Full Feature Camera, Some Issues
I have been really happy with the overall performance of this camera. I love being able to change how many pixels I want for my photos. I frequently will use the 5 pixel function so that I can later crop photos as necessary. Sometimes I wish that the camera were smaller.Also, we had to send the camera back to the manufacturer because the battery closure warped and the camera kept losing power. They fixed it quickly and for free.I was happy with the service.

Good for us
Love this digital camera compared to our previous ones. We're mostly a point-and-click family, and this is an easy-to-use camera that does a good point-and-click and gives an opportunity to do more if you should so choose some day.

SLOW
At first I thought this camera was great, but owning it for 2 years now - I HATE IT. It's SLOW, SLOW, SLOW. The autofocus is SO SLOW. Reviewing pictures is SO SLOW. I can't stand it. Another thing I hate is the movie mode - it's only 10 FPS. I know the camera is for still photos, but my brothers camera at least captures movement at 30 fps. As for the actual photos it captures, they are fine - but then again I can't take any instant photos for those times when my niece and nephew are being cute for that split second. Buy this camera if you want a delay after delay. It's SO SLOW.

Consistently excellent!
I purchased the S70 10 months ago and travelled with it throughout southeast Asia through harsh climate conditions and rough roads. The camera was flawless! The camera "build" is fabulous and the camera can be quite simple to operate even though it has many features found in digital SLRs. Two features that I like most are: 1) the panaorama feature in combination with the Zoom Browser software that can produce breathtaking super wide angle panoramic images and 2) the capability of shooting/storing images in RAW format for those special occassions when you know you are going to want to print the image in highest quality (its successor the S80 does nothave the RAW image feature). This is a very high quality camera and if you don't want the bulk of the digital SLRs on the market but want very high quality images----this is the camera!! This camera turned me into a Canon fan!

Malfunctions,poor cust. service, insulting Upgrade Program
Initially a nice camera. However, while I was stationed in Iraq the camera suffered from an E24 error while it was with my wife in Germany. I chose not to take the camera to Iraq out of fear that it would be damaged. Instead, to my suprise, it was damaged in Germany for no apparant reason, atleast not one due to poor handling. My wife mailed the camera to the Canon repair shop in the States. They returned the camera in working order. The repairs were completed free of charge since it was in the time period of the one year warranty. On the day I returend from Iraq (6 months later after the first repair) a friend took a photo of us at the reception ceremony. The camera relapsed into the same state as before - an E24 error. The LCD screen would not display any data. The camera therefore completely shut itself off, a feature that was later explained to me by a Canon representative that is used to protect the camera from further damage. I spoke with a repair representative about what appears to me to be an easy fix. I was told that since my warranty had expired I would have to pay a minimum of $187 to a maximum of $500 for the repairs. Keep in mind this was told to me prior to any Canon technician ever even looked at the camera. I asked if that would still be the charge if it was a fix as simple as a loose screw and they told me that was an accurate assumption. I then asked if I would be required to pay if it was found that the problem was related to the initial repair having not been done properly while under warranty, again they responded that I would. They then informed me of an "Upgrade Program". They told me I could send them my G3, and pay them an additional $300, and in return I would receive a REFURBISHED G5! Not a new one, REFURBISHED! If I were to accept that offer I would end up paying $950 for a refurbished Canon G5 ($300 + the original $650 for the G3). I was insulted to say the least. I'm willing to bet that those refurbished G5's are part of a program that they have for an upgrade to the G6 for the G5 users that have the same issue as I. What a scam! What a pathetic customer service department! What an insult to an American soldier that just returned from a 13 month deployment in Iraq! Oh yeah, the company is Japanese, they don't care anyway;)
This is a great camera!
I bought my G3 in September of 2003 after my SLR took a dump 3 weeks before my baby was due.I have NEVER been disappointed.Granted, if I had the money, I would have gone for something better, but this was the BEST I could have gotten for my money.Some reviewers have commented on the camera not being worth the price - you must not have shopped around!I found mine, brand new, for $460 from a reputable online camera store.
Good, with definite limitations.

Great camera, but doesn't last long - planned obsolescence
This is a fantastic digital camera - reasonably priced for the myriad of features it has. I use it professionally.
Like it? I bought 2
The 10D is an outstanding digital camera. I have been using both of mine for over a year now and they have done everything I needed, when I needed it, wthout a single flaw. I really use the 10D. I have taken over 30,000 pictures with it. I use the optional 2 battery Bg-Ed on the 10D which gives me an easy 400 pictures. The 17-40 Canon Zoom Lenshas worked spotlessly as well. Pictures are crisp. Easy manual focus and the auto focus works well even in low light. I like the solid feel of the 10D, especially with the 2 battery pack, and 550EX flash. I shoot exclusively on manual mode so I can't comment on the other settings. Adjusting the flash output, ISO etc are all easy and quick. I have found this to be a very intuitive camera. The viewing screen on the back of the camera is clear and gives me good feedback for adjusting my flashes or hot lights.I use Lexar 1GB CompactFlash cards. And I carry an Epson P-2000 Multimedia Storage Viewer for my back up.The only drawback that I have found has been with a couple of my women friends who have found it a bit heavy. I have not only gotten use to its weight but have come to really appreciate the "feel" of the camera. I can tell you that I will NEVER use film again. With an Epson Photo 2200 printer, iPhoto and my own digital darkroom thanks to Photoshop CS I have everything I need right here at home. For downloading the pictures to my MacIntosh G4 or Powerbook I use a firewire SanDisk Reader. It too works perfectly. So if you don't need the increased megapixal of the 20D I would suggest you consider the 10D. One great camera.

A Very Solid Product
The controls are a little complicated to get used to, especially the all-manual settings -- which should by definition be easy to use -- but overall this camera is very rugged and very capable.After I bought it, I took the D10 to Budapest, Hungary.I had a great view of the Danube and set my camera up for night shots.It did a brilliant job.How about this:take a digital night shot (use the largest image size possible), use a 300mm lense and blow the results up to 24x30 through Shutterfly.com. Image remained amazingly sharp. Colors were fantastic.The camera made it easy to look like a pro. The only gripe I have with this camera is that I wish it had a black and white setting like other less expensive Canon digitals, but this can be overcome with software so it's not a huge issue.The price is great, it has a magnesium body (vs. the Rebel's plastic body).You get a lot of the D1/D20/D30, without the cost. ...

DON'T DROP IT!!!
I've owned this camera for about 1 1/2 years. It worked great until 2 days ago. It fell off the top of my desk top computer (I was uploading pictures) about 16" off the carpet. After that it would not recognize the memory card. Tech said about $100 to fix.
After $600.....
$600 dollars I spent in my first Sony SD40 camera long time ago. 3 years later I was still not able to take my desired pictures and still reading the manual to learn it's features.
Unuseable Garbage
I've owned this camera for over a year and I have gotten perhaps 2 or 3 decent photos from it. This could be a good camera if you are willing to spend 20-30 hours learning to use it, but I have no idea. I've spent several hours learning this camera and it is always able to come up with a new reason to "not work". The most user-unfriendly devise I have ever owned! ... Read more

Just not my kind of camera
This camera did not live up to my standards. I just wanted a simple nice camera that took clear shots and was able to take a picture without taking 2 mintues to do so. And a camera that can take good pictures even if your hand is shaking a little...apparently this was not the camera for me. I had this camera for this years, I got it for my 15th birthday and at first it was a great camera because it was my first but then it quickly got annoying. Now I can't even download any pictures onto my computer and it takes a long time to even take a shot...while you hope it turns out semi-clear. I was not happy at all. Plus, I found another camera that was actually cheaper than this one and was 100 times more coperative. So I would say this is a horrible purchase and do not even think of giving it a try.

Old Faithful
Ive had this camera for about 2 years. I like the easy to use controls. I did have a problem at first with batteries draining super fast but then i bought rechargeables and it worked better. This camera has been through alot and it still works. just recently, though, the LCD display went out so I now have to look through the view finder. I have gotten some great pics and some bad ones out of it. The zoom is just horrible. Always fuzzy. But i have to say that it was a good camera for a beginner and I am looking for a better quality canon now.

Love this Camera
My mother won this camera from her internet server on their grand opening.Since she didn't use it, she gave it to me.I love it.I have never had a problem with my batteries draining to fast, but I do always carry spares.(Mainly thats because I've had my batteries die in my other cameras when I needed them.)My biggest love of this camera is the Canon name and their service department.Two weeks ago I had a bottle of water leak in my backpack, and of course my camera was drenched.It quit working immediately and I went into a panic.When I got home from work, I went to the Canon website and emailed their service department and explained what happened.Within 30 minutes they had returned an email to me with options on either fixing it for a base price of $79 with options if more service was needed.Or upgrade to a refurbished Canon A400 for $75.I decided to take the flash card out along with the batteries and let it air dry overnight.The next morning I popped everything back in and (yippee!) everything works like a charm.I think this camera is great. ...

MY WORST DISSAPOINTMENT
I bought this camera two years ago, the pictures were always perfect, even though from the sixth month it started getting stains everywhere, but then i found out that it was normal, not good but it usually happens to this cameras. But the worst of all is tha fact that it displays the Error 18 (E18), the lens gets stock and the camera won't work at all. I searched in google about it, because the user guide says nothing about this error, and then I read many reviews that said that there was nothing to do about it and many Canon cameras have the same defect... I am really mad and dissapointed on CANON, i will never buy a camera of this brand, and I wouldn't recommend it, unless you are willing to buy a camera for 2 years or LESS and then throw your money to the trash.

I've had it for 2 years.
I honestly don't see why people would give this camera less than 4 stars. The moment I got it, I was delighted with the quality of the pictures (except in very dark places - which is why the review gets minus 1 star), and by its portability.
Worked great but...
I've had this camera for almost 3 years now, and I'm getting "Memory card error"'s. It's out of warranty, and Canon wants 200$ to fix it. There's no way to fix it either. Useless ... Read more

very good camera
This camera is very nice. I will go down on the pro's and con's.
Much more than I expected.
I bought this camera to have something that I could use at parties or on trips to just point and shoot when I didn't feel like or have the time to use my 35mm SLR. But what I found out was it can do much more than that. Manual mode is easy and effective. See some of my photos in customer images.

simple point and shoot camera
A great pocket size travel camera. Fun to use when on vacation or out with friends. I like that the camera is metal and durable. Easy to use menu and option knob. Get a spare battery, it's common sense. Very limited zoom and annoying 2 second delay when you press the button. I wish the memory card wasn't in with the batteries under the slide plate. It isn't easy to pull out the battery or memory card (I use twissors). ... Read more
