LOVE this camera! [Posted on 2008-03-27]
Best money ever spent on a camera. Durable, small, handy. Good pics but not fast enough to pick up movement in the dark.
Pocket-sized excellence [Posted on 2008-03-28]
This camera is excellent. It is easy to use, easy to carry, and well made. Stick it in your pocket and never miss a shot. Get a big memory card to make it even more enjoyable.
Nearly two years old and still doing a great job [Posted on 2008-06-07]
The wife and I took this along to Germany on vacation in Sep 2006, and for a back-up to our 30D it was great. Quick into action and very non-intrusive, it goes with me just about everywhere. I often keep it in my laptop accessory bag.
If used for what it was intended (point and shoot) it is a great camera. Sharp focus, good colors, and nicely adjustable ISO and flash settings. Battery life is excellent. I go for months between charging. Higher flash usage would probably cut this back though.
The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars was the wimpy flash. You can get one of those $20 slave flashes to fill in or bounce if you like. Vary happy with it and glad we got it. Hope it lasts for a while.

I previously own an earlier Elph and loved it. When I purchased the Elph SD 600 I was so excited..and like many other reviewers ..loved it. I read all these excellent reviews and would have written one too. BUT, about a year and a half later with only infrequent use...the lens would not retract. After googling this issue to my horror this is a widespread problem which has even prompted a class action suit...The dreaded E-18 error..or in my case LENS ERROR. Past warranty Canon charges $259 to fix plus shipping..
in my case I saw battery was low and shut camera down..I guess that triggers a problem because when I put a fresh battery in the lens came out but would not retract. Yikes. Now I find that this is a known design flaw..often once it is fixed it reoccurs. I have always had nothing but Canon, but now I have to look elsewhere once I am in a position to buy another camera. I loved my little Elph and took perfect care of it, but the lens mechanism is so fragile that it breaks in about 10 different circumstances and is very costly to repair.
A TOTALLY AWESOME CAMERA!!!! [Posted on 2008-08-03]
This camera is fantastic and simply does it all. Quit thinking about it and buy it. Nuff said.
