Canon Elph Jr. APS Camera

Indoor, outdoor, landscape, panoramic you name it and it does an excellent job at it. For it's tiny size the flash does a terrific job too. The only APS camera with a fast f/2.8 lens (Note: the smaller the number the better the lens).

Cons:

1.) Doesn't have zoom = In 95% of pictures you really don't need zoom. Also makes it easier to hand to others to take your photos.

2.) No MRC(Mid Roll Change) = Not something most of will ever require.

Bottom line: I would very highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a good quality APS camera. I would also recommend getting the RC-5 remote and a small flexible tripod for it.

I own one of the original Elf Jr.'s (with the matt black body). I've carried this camera all over the US on vacations and everyday travel. For compactness and ease of carry it can't be beat and one can't complain about the features for the price. The picture quality never fails to amaze me. The APS system in the Elf takes better shots than some more expensive point and shoot cameras in my collection. I will eventually pass this on to my daughter and buy a next generation Elf (but not in the immediate future).

I ride a Harley with several friends and take a few extended rides each summer. The compactness of the Elph Jr. is ideal for just strapping on my belt without the worry of it being banged around or being too cumbersome. It is great at the biker rallies when I need it handy and to take that quick snapshot. A zoom would be nice, but for my use, really not necessary. For the price, the quality and options that this camera provides, cannot be beat.

I received this camera as a gift 6 months ago. I keep it in my purse and I have NEVER missed a photo op. Friends and co-workers come running whenever a pic needs to be taken, so I am a pretty popular person, as well! The photos, more importantly, are awesome! I have never taken so many panoramic shots before, and they are now truly my favorites. The camera is foolproof, reliable, user friendly. I never grab another camera anymore. I love it!

This camera offers it all in a lightweight and compact camera. Canon has done a wonderful job with this one. I have taken it with me everywhere I go and it's so light you sometimes forget you have it. The quality of the pictures have also been excellent and I have had no problems with red eye. I liked it so much I just bought another for a friend. Excellent!
