5 comments about Canon Elph Jr. APS Camera.

1. I bought this camera about a year ago, and I have been extremely pleased with it.

   PROS:
   -Small, fits unobtrusively in your pocket
   -FAST f2.8 lense takes great pictures in low light
   -Simple user interface. No hassels--it lets you focus on taking the pictures.

   CONS:
   -No mid-roll change. This is the one feature I wish it had, but it's really a perk rather than an essential, since I only shoot color print film in the camera anyway.
   -APS film is grainier than 35mm film because it is a smaller format. I shoot with 200 speed film to reduce grain (not really the cameras fault, as this is a problem with all APS cameras).

   I haven't had any problems with red eye using this camera. I don't like cameras that zoom because I think you take better composed pictures by physically moving closer to your subject. For the price, you can't get a better deal than this.




2. I got this camera as a gift, and I LOVE IT! The only problem is, I was a volunteer for a charity event and it got stolen. I'm currently looking for another one!
   The Elph Jr. is small, light-weight and easy to use! It has three different picture sizes, including panoramic! The APS film is much easier to use and pictures come out clear as a bell! The reason I love this camera is because it's not bulky, fits nicely in my purse/back pack/pocket and takes pictures just like, if not better than all those bulky overpriced cameras! It has a number of different language selections as well! All around, a great Camera and a great buy!



3. What a great little camera!! I got this for Christmas last year and since it's so small.. I take it with me wherever I go. The picture quality is great. There are three settings to choose from for picture size and you can add the date and time if you wish.
   I'm not a camera professional by an means but if you're looking for a great little camera, this is the one.



4. After 18 months of treating this camera like gold and being reasonably satisfied with the quality of the images (as long as they weren't enlarged), one day it just stopped working with the lens partially extended, frozen in place. All the repair shops want $100 to fix it. For $100 I could buy a new one. It was cute while it lasted, but I've bought a Yashica T4 (the original - not the awful zoom remake with the same name) instead. It's not nearly as small, but this elph is just too fragile.



5. I got this camera in 1998 at a flea market for $30, the guy said he never put a battery in it, so he didnt' even know if it worked, so I was possibly buying a camera that didn't even work. I decided to try it.
   I've had the camera for 6 years and haven't had one problem with it...and now that I have 2 kids, it has been dropped, etc, and still works better than any (non zoom) camera I've ever had. There is a feature that you can put 5 sayings on your pictures, but i've never used it. This camera went to Italy with me, and has travelled many stated in the eastern US, and still stands up to everything. if anything ever happens to this camera, I will buy another of the same exact style!!

5 comments about Canon Sure Shot Z155 Zoom 35mm Camera.

1. I purchased this camera to take on a Disney vacation. I decided to use it before the trip to make sure I would be pleased with it. It is complicated to use, even after reading instruction manual. Focusing & centering objects are no easy task; neither is exchanging it for another. Definitly NOT what I had in mind; I wanted a Sure Shot.



2. I bought this camera before reading the reviews, and then was pretty uncomfortable when I saw all the negative comments. That said, I needed a camera for my first trip to Hawaii that was 1)not expensive, 2)light enough to carry around, and 3)uncomplicated. (I am notorious for NOT wanting to read instructions. Some people love to read those fat little manuals from cover to cover. Not me.)
   So, I took a roll or two before going on the trip. What I found was not much different than the reviewers before me: the personal setting made horrible, blurry messes, and sometimes the full zoom did the same thing. However, the automatic setting did a great job. So I stuck with that, and almost every photo taken on that setting, out of 11 rolls of film, was beautiful. The camera was ideal for what I needed, especially since I didn't feel moved to go digital just yet, and I'm quite happy with it.
   
   You do have to tell any random person who is taking a photo of you and your friends, to hold the button down FOREVER because it truly does take 4 or 5 seconds sometimes to take the photo.



3. When I went to a football game, I took photos of the game with the flash on. The photos came out too dark when you zoom in. So I decided to take photos WITHOUT the flash. I recognized that the orange button was blinking repeatedly. When I looked in the manual, it said that it was because the camera was shaking, which the camera was still. It said to use a tripod. I got my pictures back, after trying EVERY mode possible without the flash, and almost ALL of them came out blurry. Why make a camera without a flash if all of the pictures are going to come out blurry?? So basically you can only use this camera with a flash or outside or all of the pictures are going to come out blurry?? Canon has been known for making great cameras and scanners/printers. But this camera was just down right horrid when it came to getting a decent picture. It is overpriced garbage and people at Canon should have made a sure shot camera that lived up to its name. The zoom is nice, as it gets good close ups. But when it comes to using this camera without flash, it is impossible without a tripod. I am not about to bring a tripod to a football game. Why have a sports feature on the camera FOR MOVING OBJECTS if the feature is not going to work?? Seems to me, that the folks at Canon are bonafied MORONS!!



4. I am really suprised to see such negative comments on this camera.
   I always got amazing quality photographs from this camera. It's very easy to use. It's not bulky. It was by far the best film camera I had ever owned.



5. I got this camera a little over four years ago when i started taking a recreational photography class. I started that class using a Poloroid p&s that i got under 30 dollars. That one broke not even 2 weeks later, i splurged on replacing it with this canon sure shot. I didn't regret it then, but now after having more experience with photography and buying cameras, i don't think i would pay that much money for a point and shoot again. At the time the cost was up in the 200's and digital photography was getting more popular, but they still sold 35mm along side it. -- So yeah the price is one drawback on this camera, not that it's not worth it, because this is a great sturdy, attractive little camera.
   Pros: The zoom is the best thing about. In fact the zoom is almost as good as my dslr lenes.
   I'm proud of the results you can with this camera. The colors it can produce, and the crispness of the photos is something to brag about.- Takes nice black and whites with perfect contrast. - you have many different options and functions to pick from. You have an exposure control function to allow to choose before a shot whether you want it to be lighter or darker. - Extremely easy to load film in, and automatically rewinds once roll is used up
   
   Cons: View finder too small.- The focus wheel baffles me. I have no idea what affect it has on pictures, pretty much useless.- Oh and as others have said, you do have to hold down the shutter until the lights do their thing. But i have this problem with most automatic cameras.- And lastly, its kinda loud. When you zoom, when the film proceeds to the next frame, and when it rewinds, it makes this kinda loud screeching noise, zzreeeouuuu. Lol. It must be the motor, i think. It's not because it broken, if you own this camera you know what i mean. So just a tip: don't bring this camera to a wedding ceremony, especially if you sit in the front row.

1. This camera is great. It is the easiest thing in the world to use. Everything is automatic so you don't have to be a pro to use it and it still takes great pictures.



2. I think this camera, although not Canon's best, is a very good and very well priced camera. Weather you into indoors or outdoors photography, this camera will do both jobs just as well. So for all those of you on a bit of lower budget or not quite ready for a super high-tech, top of the line SLR's I suggest this camera very highly! Take it from me, with this camera I won three embassy photography contests.



3. This camera is good and great for people who want to learn photography

5 comments about Canon Sure Shot WP-1 Weatherproof 35mm Camera.

1. It may not have all the cute features that you could want on a camera, but it makes up for it by being durable and rugged. I just recently discovered the "WP" stands for weatherproof, not waterproof. I've been taking mine into the pool and into the ocean for years without a problem, although the camera has never been deeper than a few feet under the water. It is not sufficient if you are a serious scuba person, but for the traveler or outdoor enthusiast, this camera will greatly expand your picture taking abilities. While I have several expensive, feature-laden cameras, I often prefer to use this camera. I find it has three advantages for me. First, its ruggedness allows it to go places my expensive cameras cannot. This includes the beach, on to boats, or into water. You can throw this camera onto the sand or take it into the ocean for fun vacation shots. Second, I'm not worried about losing this camera, as I would be of losing a more expensive camera. Not only is it moderately priced, but also you can slip it into a bathing suit pocket and swim with it. You don't have to leave it on a towel and worry about it as you swim. Thirdly, it's small and lightweight. It's not burdensome to carry-around. For those times that you would like to get a snapshot, but you don't want to lug around a camera bag and a bunch of attachments, this camera is perfect. And while you're carrying it, you don't have to worry about getting caught in the rain.

   While it may lack some features, its picture quality is surprisingly good. If you are thinking that a waterproof disposable camera has the same advantages that I listed above (i.e., waterproof with worry-free portability), be advised there is a big difference in the quality of the prints. I've used both and you get much better pictures from this camera. It may not do everything that a fancier camera can do (zoom, macro, etc.), but what it can do it does exceptionally well. This camera has taken some of my favorite vacation snapshots and family pictures, if for no other reason than it was there with me when the picture opportunity presented itself while my "good" camera sat safely (and uselessly) packed away and protected.




2. I had WP1 and A1 before. Both of them looked almost the same except the colour of the rubber grip for the hand is different, the macro logo of the mode dial is different. WP1 is a weatherproof camera, not waterproof. It is excellent for snorkelling and rugged use. WP1 started to leak at 6m or 20ft when I used for SCUBA diving, that was my mistake. So I bought an A1, so far tested to 35m (though only guaranteed to a few metres) and still going strong, same for another 2 A1s that my friends have. Both WP1 and A1 are excellent cameras, gave excellent pictures. The price difference (almost 100%) basically gives you the peace of mind in terms of water-tightness. One thing to take note, the flash is not strong enough so underwater pictures will turn out to be greenish or bluish, and fine particles will tend to disperse the flash and over expose the pictures. Have fun!



3. Took this camera down 80 feet in salt water. Works like a charm. My friends couldn't believe it either. I recommend this camera highly.



4. I have taken this camera on 4,000 miles of river canoeing in all types of weather. I takes very good pictures without the need to worry about focusing. I have never used this underwater and would never consider doing so. However, I did drop it into water a few times and it suffered no damages. I am considering purchasing the A1 for its panoramic mode.



5. Yes, the cameras are virtually indestructible. And NO, WP isn't "weather proof" it's "water proof" according to Canon's own literature for this camera including the owners manual. Ours says it's "waterproof to 16.4 feet" Has worked fine in our local lake and motel swimming pools. You simply can not compare the quality of photos taken with this camera with the quality of those taken with the disposable 'waterproof" cameras that you buy at the discount stores. You really can't come up with a better fun at the lake, snorkeling, hotel pool camera for this kind of money. Generally a decent waterproof camera costs a LOT more and a water proof housing for a camera yo may already own is very expensive. You're not gonna get a lot of National Geographic quality shots with this but you just may surprise yourself!
