Canon ELPH LT APS Camera

I am not into the age of Digital cameras yet, even though everyone I know has one. I love this camera (Canon ELPH LT APS). I had one for 10 years and used it almost everyday. Then I had to order another one and have used it almost everyday now. I love this camera and it wouldn't trade it for a digital one

worked but useless. Discarded.

I wrote the review by "A Customer" a few years back, and now, even after buying my third digital camera in 10 years, I still buy film for my Elph LT. For snapshots, APS really did a better job than 35mm (information about the scene is magnetically recorded on the film roll so prints come out their best). I know this because I still fed film into my Yashica T5 too up until last week, and it will probably go on the shelf for good, but the Elph will continue to have film in it as long as I can buy it and get it processed. Why? It's a great spare camera you can take places you wouldn't take your digital. For scenics, it does OK (see images), but for the regular, "here are me and my friends at..." shots, you can't beat it. So, parties, at a bar or nightclub, self portaits in the scrambler at Six Flags, or the fishing charter you're going to get sick on...I always used Kodak film and used the true Kodak processing (which automatically removed red-eye), but it is no longer available, but maybe with Fuji film and Fuji processing, as good results are possible.So, if you've come by one of these cameras, know that you have something that is a step above a 35mm snapshot camera, and that you don't have a piece of useless junk, even at this date.

This is a tiny camera (a good-sized guy could hide it in the palm of his hand.) But the small size doesn't mean the Elph is a toy. No, indeed.The sharpness on the pictures is amazing considering that the negatives are smaller than 35mm and that this is not an expensive piece of optical equipment. (We used to speculate that Canon made the optics better on APS cameras to showcase the APS format in the best light.)You can have some fun--one special feature is that you can take 3 different sizes of photos (regular sized, large sized and panorama sized) on the same roll of film. Switch a lever on the back and go from a portrait to capturing the beauty of a mountain vista or a busy plaza.For a "keep it in your pocket at all times" camera, this can't be beat.

This is the first real camera I've ever bought and I'm glad I made the investment. When shopping around for a camera, I was looking for a few main things. It had to be:1. Easy to use2. Portable, not a hassle to lug around3. in my price range (under $70)This camera is ,of course all three. I didn't know about APS cameras before i bought this camera. I've seen my mom struggle trying to put film in her 35mm and that made me want to stick with disposables and it also made me apprehensive about buying a camera. Then i found out about APS and it I was like Hallelujah! It was a godsend for a klutz like me. Just drop the film in and the camera does the rest. When I first saw this camera, i couldn't believe there was a camera this small. It literally fits in the palm of my hand. I'm a big girl but it'll seem small to you too. I carry it in my purse because you never know when you'll need a picture. It hardly weighs anything so it's not a burden. It's small enough for jacket or shirt pockets. Because this was going to be my first camera and all, I wanted to get something that was reasonably priced yet didn't lack in quality. Canon being a respected brand, this was an easy choice. I have no regrets so far with this camera and i doubt I'll have any in the future. My pictures turn out great and i like the date/time imprint feature (on the back of photo). Although the Elph LT has no zoom it takes pretty good pictures. I know for sure when I'm ready for another camera, I'll get another Canon Elph, but with zoom. Overall this camera is great. It's stylish, easy to use and affordable.

This was my first APS, and Canon, camera, and the best, so far.Small easy to use in any social environment. I have found that the pictures are uniformly good, sometimes excellent, using a variety of makes of film, and if the odd print is not satisfactory, then there is nothing that a scanner and a Photoshop software programme cannot fix.It has been admired world wide, it is still performing flawlessly after three years of intense usage - on its second lithiun battery.I now have a second Elph, which zooms - thus, requiring more brainpower - my original is still my favourite, and now so cheap!

Like a lot of the other reviewers have said, this camera takes great pictures! Clear and crisp! And I'm the kinda person that takes pictures hanging out the car window and on the back of a 4 wheeler. It's as if I was standing still! It's so nice to be able to capture a panoramic picture whenever you want, and be able to switch back to regular sized photos with the touch of a button. And all on the same roll of film. So easy. I would highly recommend this camera! And with such a low price, you cant go wrong.

I got the ELPH before heading to JazzFest in New Orleans a year and a half ago so I wouldn't have to lug my 35mm rig around. Turns out, it isn't just inexpensive -- it's also a heckuva point-and-shoot camera. I was surprised by the quality of photos it produced. Sharp, clean...usually well-balanced flash (although it has its moments). It has some limitations, but photo enthusiasts will be able to figure them out pretty quickly. I even found a couple settings that allow me to be creative in low light settings in nightclubs.It has become my everyday camera (football games, birthday parties, JazzFest), while my 35mm and medium-format are for more specific "shoot" purposes. So small it fits in a pocket; so light you forget you have it with you; so capable you'll wonder why you didn't get one sooner.
