BUYER BEWARE! [Posted on 2007-05-24]
I HAD THIS CAMERA FOR THREE MONTHS AND THE SCREEN CRACKED! IT WAS IN A CASE ON MY DESK WHEN I TOOK IT OUT OF THE CASE AND DISCOVERED THE CRACKED SCREEN, I CALLED CANON AND THE SERVICE REP. SAID I MUST HAVE DROPPED IT! THEY WILL NOT FIX SO THE CAMERA HAS BEEN SITTING UNUSED FOR THE PAST 8 MONTHS. I HAVE SINCE GOTTEN A KODAK EASYSHARE AND I LOVE IT. THE CANON POWERSHOT IS NOW A PAPER WEIGHT.

i think the company i delt with was great - the camera was not my taste, but worked fine and they allowed me to exchange it.
door to compact flash broke only after 1 year [Posted on 2007-09-24]
I liked this camera a lot, bought it for $299 when new, a year ago. I never dropped it. But someone, a piece of plastic broke on the door to the compact flash department. Took it back to the camera store, and they said it would cost $200 to repair it! What a waste of money! Now I'll buy used on Amazon or ebay next time for far less...
sees fine, looks gross [Posted on 2008-07-21]
I don't take a lot of photos, so I didn't need a lot of fancy features. The Elph works fine for pointing and shooting, then downloading to the computer. I can't upload photos from the computer to the camera.
Two downsides: The body began to discolor after my first visit to the seashore. I'm not sure whether it was the salty air or whether the Coach bag ostensibly designed for it is lined with an inappropriate material, but dark splotches have been spreading over the formerly shiny front. At least the camera looks very old now, so maybe it will be less of a target for theft!
Also, there is a delay between depressing the shutter release button and the exposure. This is not a problem for still lifes and posed portraits, but if you are a decisive moment photographer, you'd better keep shopping.
A very nice little camera! [Posted on 2008-09-03]
I had purchased this camera in 2005 as a replacement for my S400 that was stolen at a car dealership during a test drive session. It is a wonderful little camera and works perfectly to date. Over the years I have bought and sold several other cameras (Fuji F10 etc.) however this one has remained with me and we still use it quite extensively for taking photos at family celebrations and other occasions. A very nice camera indeed!
