Strengths: Size and durability. Quality of pics. Good 3-minute movies with mono audio sound.

Weaknesses: A 3x optical could have been very good!

Overall Evaluation: UPDATE: Nov. 06, 2004 Tried it with a 128MB Sandisk, Edge and Viking SD cards - no problem. Battery charger worked great with 220V AC. For the price after rebate and a free 128MB SD card plus extra compatible battery pack (at Officexxx.com), how could i complain. Will take it with me, always when i go out. Bought a 256MB Kingston SD card as backup. Mastered it after constant practise of taking pictures/movies using one hand. You have to use the strap just in case you lost hold of the camera.

Strengths: Portability, ease of use, multiple functions, video with sound

Weaknesses: optical zoom isn't much, flash too bright at times, shutter lag

Overall Evaluation: We researched quite a bit and decided on the Canon SD100 for a family camera for the main 3 reasons: Size, Multiple Functions, and Video with Sound. I have fallen in love with this camera - for many reasons. It has been the perfect camera for our little family. When our son was born, we thought we could get away with a 35mm film camera, since I love the 'trueness' of film photography. After 5 rolls of film in the 1st month, we decided we needed to give in to the digital camera craze. It was one of the best purchases I have ever made! We love this camera. It is small, light, and easy to use. We take it everywhere...it even fits in my husband's pocket - and my purse! It would fit in my pocket, but I hate putting keys in my pocket, so why a camera!What we love about this camera - It takes excellent photos with considerable ease. The resolution is great. We put it on the highest resolution, which takes up the most memory, but also allows us the most editing fre...

Strengths: Excellent pictues and very easy to use.

Weaknesses: some of the software setup can be confusing depending on your ver. of Windows.

Overall Evaluation: I love this camera! I will never go back to anything but digital. This takes outstanding pic's and easy to take with you everywhere. I bought a small palm pda case for mine which makes it easy to clip right onto my belt like a cell phone. I would highly recommned it to anyone.

Strengths: Small size, picture quality, ease of use, excellent autofocus, numerous manual override options, 640x480/30sec. movie mode w/editing, automatic rotation of vertical photos, PictBridge direct printing

Weaknesses: Still a bit heavier than competitors, movie mode only 15fps so it's a bit choppy

Overall Evaluation: This is my third Canon Elph digital camera (previously had the S100 and S110). Still the best mini digicam out there overall, although features like extra-large LCD screens and more-than-2x optical zooms are showing up on other brands. But with the high-quality feel of the camera, the minimal lag time between shutter button being pressed and picture recorded (a problem in many other digital cameras I've used), and good ergonomics, I still prefer the Canon over anything else I've seen.
