Red Eye is a Problem [Posted on 2005-05-31]
This was an OK camera but red-eye was a problem from Day 1. Also had trouble taking good night pictures. The 4 Star rating here is WAY too high for this camera. See the most recent reviews.
Nice but not so perfect [Posted on 2005-06-30]
My S30 did all it was expected to do as far as imaging resolution and photo quality was concerned.
Downside issues with this camera:
LCD screen - Poor to zero visibility. OK for auto shooting but useless for creative photography,
Auto focus and close-up focus did not work 100% of the time. Continuous focus was hit & miss.
Battery life inadequate - 20 mins to 1/2 hr at best
Camera was returned to Canon during Warranty but none of the above issues were resolved.
Sold the camera after 18 months of serious useage
Great!! perfect [Posted on 2006-05-09]
I have been using it for 5 years now. never had any problem... Night results are not very very good though, you just need to keep camera still if you want to get them perfect.
Very good for the price these days [Posted on 2006-05-24]
I've had my camera for about 5 years now, I think it takes great pictures overall. Redeye is a problem I've noticed like some of the other owners, even if you have redeye reduction turned on it's still a problem. Aside from the redeye problem with flash, it takes incredible daylight photos. Bright, colorful, amazingly clear with alot of nice manual modes and auto mode is also very good. Very durable also, I've dropped my camera many times and it keeps on working.
Junk! [Posted on 2007-10-18]
This Camera, the Canon S30 is a piece of junk. Owned it for two years and it has stopped working.
It shows a fully charged battery as low and you can get two pictures before it stops working and tells you to get a new battery.
Even at its best it was a terrible camera. Save your money and buy something else.
