| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Great Little Camara
Got this camera about 2 years ago before a trip abroad. It is fantastic! Takes great pictures, seems very well made, and small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. The 3 sizes of output are also very handy for landscapes, big group shots, etc.
I am not (and unless the technology changes, probably never will be) a huge fan of the digital camera. Not for print anyway, obviously if it is for web use digital is fine. But for actual physical pictures, digital just doesn't measure up. Look closely at a digital print. Unless the gear is VERY expensive, chances are you see: pixels!
They will have to pry my APS camera from my cold dead fingers. (I just hope to god they don't stop making film anytime soon, I hear some APS and 35m films are being fased out)
ANYWAY, this is a great camera. And I am very happy. | 5 | Today | great panoramics
this would be the prime reason why i bought it. Everything else is mediocre. And it costs so much to develop. Not very good as every day camera(better go digital). However the panoramics are superb. I would take this camera on a trip in a conjunction with a digital camera. | 3 | Today | Great camera, poor pic quality w/ Kodak film
I've switched over to a Canon digi-cam, but I used the Elph 2 for a couple of years. During those years, pictures taken on on the Elph 2, just never turned out right. They were either grainy, suffered from color saturation, red-eye, you name it. That is until I discovered the magic of Fuji film. I had up until that time used Kodak Avantix APS film exclusively, believing that paying more meant better quality. Wrong! Fuji film is not only much cheaper, but my prints were awesome in every way possible. In fact, my last set of photos were taken on the streets of Las Vegas during the late-night hours, plus lots of indoor pictures in a dimly lit room with the shades drawn...but every picture turned out, if you will, picture perfect. I can't bash Kodak, because it's the only film I've ever used, and bottom line, it's the best. But when it comes to the Canon Elph 2, you should switch to Fuji film. I guarantee, you'll see the difference. | 5 | Today | Best Point and Shoot on Market
I bought this camera 3 1/2 years ago to take with me when I moved to Germany. It's small enough to fit in your jeans pocket, but makes cleaner and better quality prints than I've seen in a point and shoot camera. It was very durable and lasted several years of use overseas, and I'm still enjoying its compact size and light weight here in the states. If you are in any way intimidated by the digital camera age, and would like a small, versatile APS camera, this is it! | 5 | Today | This is a GREAT Little Camera!
I have owned this camera for about 3 years, and am still surprised in the quality of photographs I get from it! We recently returned from Maui, where a photo can make or break a beautiful memory. Most, if not all, of our photos from this trip are frameable, they are SO beautifully crisp and clear! It does a great job in any of the three modes it offers. The film loads and unloads easier than any camera I've ever operated, and the flash is automatic, so you don't even have to think about it. The only complaint I've ever had is that it doesn't zoom very far, but that is a small sacrifice for such great photos from this little wonder! | 4 | Today | A truly well engineered product
I own the original Elph and also the digital Elph S200 (now discontinued). I love them both. The $500 Pentax with the bazooka lens sits on the shelf, unused and collecting dust. The Elph line is everything you want and need, unless you aspire to be an artiste. | 5 | Today | The APS Canon Elph 2, is one of the best cameras ever made.
The APS Canon Elph 2, is one of the best cameras ever made. Bar none. It's made up of thick durable aluminum (metal), that resembles a can of anchovies. It's small enough to put in your shirt/pant pockets and it travels with you beautifully, wherever you go. It's one of the benchmark qualities that this camera possesses. Don't you hate having to lug a great big SLR camera with you? If you answered "yes" to this question, you're qualified to own this camera. You will love it. Trust me on this. This basic APS camera along with some additional features are noteworthy: You can select (3) different print sizes: 1. Portrait 2. Wide 3. Panoramic (great for landscape shots). It has an MRC (mid-roll change) feature, which allows you to switch between different types of film i.e. going from a Kodak or Fuji 200 speed film to a higher-grade type 400. It gives you the flexibility, to select the number of prints you want with each particular shot you take (with 10 being the maximum). It gives you the option of having the date imprinted on either the front, or back of the prints. You can also, adjust the camera's functions by controlling things like the shutter-speed, red-eye reduction, flash/no flash, the film's auto/manual rewinder (for an example, if you're at a wedding/graduation ceremony and you don't want to hear the sound of film rewinding, you can disable the auto film-rewinder, which is a big plus), and much more. Sure it costs a little more to devolop APS film than its 35mm counterpart. But think about it...you don't have to mess with the 35mm film, by pulling it over the back of the lens apparatus while inserting it into a complicated, clumsy film winder. We've all been thorough that kind of torture. You know how the film gets jammed sometimes? Whenever this happens, it exposes the lens to dust and oils that accumulates over time, thereby rendering the camera unable to function properly. This camera solves that problem. (It keeps dust and fingerprints out of harms way.) All you have to do, is drop the film into the appropriate slot by opening the camera's (the film's catridge will tell you which direction to put it in, so you're not thinking to yourself: how do I put the darn thing in?) submarine hatch-like door with the turning of a switch, that's located on the bottom left side of the unit, and close it back up. It's that simple, and easy to use. Which is why I bought this camera in the first place. I've taken lots of cool pictures with it, of the San Francisco Bay Bridges, the S.F. skyline, the Salt Lake (Mormon) Temple, among other noteable U.S. landmarks, mountains, lakes, beautiful sunsets, family & friends, and documenting important events in my life. I wish I could've taken pictures of the World Trade Center, in New York City. I love architecture! (It's to too bad, they no longer exist.) This camera is all encompasing and will fullfil every persons desire to producing great quality pictures. It will preserve lasting memories for years to come. | 5 | Today | great camera
It's really a great camera. So small you take it anywhere. The only complaint I have is red eye. Even with the red eye reduction flash, lots of pics still come out with red eyes! | 4 | Today | awesome little camera
My husband bought this camera for me for our first Christmas together, and I love it. It is so easy to use, even for the first time. It takes great pictures, too. I really recommend this camera. | 5 | Today | Nice camera
Takes great pictures - I get comments on the good quality of the photos. I do get more red-eye than I expected. The size is wonderful, because I can put it in my purse. I often wish it would take the pictures faster so I could get those split-second shots (I suppose the auto-focusing takes time). The zoom is adequate, especially considering how small the camera is. I've heard that APS photos are grainier than 35 mm but I haven't noticed it myself. Great camera. | 5 | Today |
