ELPH 2 Comparison to the Original Elph

by tennis_player, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 05 '99
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...

Elph2: Limited Perfection - Additional Comments II

by tennis_player, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 19 '99
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...

Elph2: Limited Perfection - Additional Comments

by tennis_player, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 05 '99
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...

Worth your money.....Now say cheeze!

by Kyra , Jan 12 '00
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....

Works For Me

by obisan69 , May 14 '00
Pros: Small, convenient size; mid-roll change
Cons: harsh flash
I've been toying with writing this review for a while now, but was a little intimidated by some of the other reviews already here. Yes, the expert ones. I am the farthest thing from an expert in this category that you will ever find. It finally hit me...

A Great Carry-Along Camera

by fjw123 , May 02 '00
Pros: Sharp pictures, Easy to carry
Cons: Flash properties not great
I have always owned a big, bulky Olympus camera that I sincerely love.
However, since I've decided to participate in the Avon 3-Day Breast Cancer walk, I wanted a camera that I could carry in my pouch to capture the moment.

I am totally...

Pros: Size, Features, MRC, APS, etc...
Cons: more zoom!
I've had my share of cameras; 3 bad experiences and one good great camera. Amazingly enough my one good one is about 15 years old! I can't really complain about the other three, because I really got what I paid for, they were your regular automatic run...

by mkruse , Jan 13 '00
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...

Think twice before purchasing an APS Camera.

by Mattog , May 31 '00
Pros: Good Cameras

I have had the misfortune of owning not one but two APS cameras; fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me.

by philliprs , Jul 02 '00
Pros: Very tiny, good pic quality
Cons: Cheap leather case, not "perfect" pics
I first went looking for a camera because I needed something VERY small, since I was travelling to a country with a very high crime rate, so I needed something I could put in my pocket and not be noticed. I looked at a few of the other APS compact...
