Pros Tiny and easy to use
Cons Needs to be upgraded right out of the box
Recommended it? Yes

I enjoy taking pictures of family and friends on special occasions, and of just about everything when I?m traveling. Aside from that, I rarely lug a camera around for no reason at all. I received the Canon Elph Power Shot 100 Digital camera for a birthday gift recently, and I barely put it down... Read full review »

The Canon PowerShot S100 is a Pocket Digital Camera!

Pros Easy to use and produces excellent photos!
Cons The CompactFlash card is too small!
Recommended it? Yes

This is truly a pocket camera about the size of a credit card just thicker in size than a credit card. It measures 3.4 inches wide x 2.2 inches in height x 1.1 inches thick.

This is a 2.11-megapixel (2.11 million-pixel) digital camera that can take photos as large as 1600 x 1200 of... Read full review »

Cons Slow flash recharge, during which the screen goes blank, no dedicated zoom control, noise
Recommended it? Yes

I liked the last year's 3.2-Megapixel Canon PowerShot A410 and decided to get an updated version - 4-Megapixel Canon PowerShot A430. I bought my A430 for $144. The prices went down since then and you can get an A430 for less than $135. Can you get good picture quality and features for such a low... Read full review »
