Summary: Great little camera

Comment: I got this camera in 1998 at a flea market for $30, the guy said he never put a battery in it, so he didnt' even know if it worked, so I was possibly buying a camera that didn't even work. I decided to try it.
I've had the camera for 6 years and haven't had one problem with it...and now that I have 2 kids, it has been dropped, etc, and still works better than any (non zoom) camera I've ever had. There is a feature that you can put 5 sayings on your pictures, but i've never used it. This camera went to Italy with me, and has travelled many stated in the eastern US, and still stands up to everything. if anything ever happens to this camera, I will buy another of the same exact style!!

Summary: Mine Broke!

Comment: After 18 months of treating this camera like gold and being reasonably satisfied with the quality of the images (as long as they weren't enlarged), one day it just stopped working with the lens partially extended, frozen in place. All the repair shops want $100 to fix it. For $100 I could buy a new one. It was cute while it lasted, but I've bought a Yashica T4 (the original - not the awful zoom remake with the same name) instead. It's not nearly as small, but this elph is just too fragile.

Summary: Great little camera!

Comment: What a great little camera!! I got this for Christmas last year and since it's so small.. I take it with me wherever I go. The picture quality is great. There are three settings to choose from for picture size and you can add the date and time if you wish.
I'm not a camera professional by an means but if you're looking for a great little camera, this is the one.

Summary: Best Camera!

Comment: I got this camera as a gift, and I LOVE IT! The only problem is, I was a volunteer for a charity event and it got stolen. I'm currently looking for another one!
The Elph Jr. is small, light-weight and easy to use! It has three different picture sizes, including panoramic! The APS film is much easier to use and pictures come out clear as a bell! The reason I love this camera is because it's not bulky, fits nicely in my purse/back pack/pocket and takes pictures just like, if not better than all those bulky overpriced cameras! It has a number of different language selections as well! All around, a great Camera and a great buy!

Summary: Easy to use, lets YOU focus on the pictures.

Comment: I bought this camera about a year ago, and I have been extremely pleased with it.

PROS:
-Small, fits unobtrusively in your pocket
-FAST f2.8 lense takes great pictures in low light
-Simple user interface. No hassels--it lets you focus on taking the pictures.

CONS:
-No mid-roll change. This is the one feature I wish it had, but it's really a perk rather than an essential, since I only shoot color print film in the camera anyway.
-APS film is grainier than 35mm film because it is a smaller format. I shoot with 200 speed film to reduce grain (not really the cameras fault, as this is a problem with all APS cameras).

I haven't had any problems with red eye using this camera. I don't like cameras that zoom because I think you take better composed pictures by physically moving closer to your subject. For the price, you can't get a better deal than this.
