What our customer's say!

"Best little camera around - still", For this size camera, this is an excellent camera. Don't be fooled by more mega pixels. Six is more than the lens can resolve with these small cameras. Also, you get less dynamic range with more pixels crammed into the same sensor size.
When I do replace this unit, I will be looking for a small camera with the next size larger sensor. Hopefully, I will be able to find something without a zillion pixels in a year or two.


"Spots on Pictures", I bought this camera in Sept. 2006, as well as, an underwater housing for the camera. From the start, many of the pictures had round whitish spots on them, whether the pictures were taken on land or underwater. I've followed Canon's suggestions below and my pictures still end up with spots. Not only have I invested in the camera but the underwater housing. I will not buy another Canon camera for this reason.

This is Canon's answer to spots that appear on the pictures. "This may occur depending on the shooting conditions, but is not a malfunction. To prevent this phenomenon, please follow these steps.

- Lighten the area as much as possible and shoot without using the flash.

- Avoid shooting in dusty areas."



"Great camera", Purchased this camera for my dad who travels frequently. He isn't very good with technology (still doesn't know how to use a cell phone) but was able to learn how to use this camera very quickly. The functions are pretty standard, the larger screen (from our previous S400) was a big plus for him. Also the Image Stabilization has helped him take better pictures. Also picked up a Sandisk Ultra II 1gb card with the camera. Definitely worth it to pick up a higher speed card. We tried other cards with it and pictures weren't as crisp.

"Best camera!", I can't say enough good things about this camera! I absolutely love it!!
I have had it for almost 2 years and it's been through a lot and still works really well. It has so many features on it that are easy to use quickly and in every situation. You can change pictures into black and white, or sepia, and other colors on the go. There are a ton of features like that which really make it worth the price. The only thing is that the camera is heavy, you definitely know its in your purse/ pocket when you have it. But that makes it more durable, also.

"Wife Loves IT!", I bought this Canon PowerShot SD700 IS 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 4x Image Stabilized Zoom for my wife's birthday because she doesn't like carrying our digital Nikon D70 SLR (although she likes taking pictures with it).

So far, it's lived up to all the reviews, takes good pictures and she doesn't mind carrying it!

The only problems I have with it are:
> Using the LCD screen as a viewfinder - the built-in viewfinder does not portray your picture accurately - and I LIKE looking through a lens or viewfinder at what I'm shooting (much easier to compose your picture).
> It is so light, it's hard for me to keep it steady enough, although the built-in image stabilizer helps a lot.
> Some of the controls are pretty small for my fat fingers.
> Shuts down and closes up after a preset amount of time, which makes wandering around taking random shots - like I'm prone to do - more difficult. The "start-up" time is longer than our Nikon.

Things I like about it are:
> REALLY small and light, easy to slip into a pocket.
> Excellent picture review process, much easier than the Nikon.
> Shuts down and closes up after a preset amount of time, avoiding running the battery down.
> Can be used as a dive camera with the Canon WP-DC5 Waterproof Case for Canon SD700 IS Digital Camera, although my wife isn't too sure about that..........

My wife really likes it, and takes it with her all the time, something she wouldn't do with the Nikon, so it meets my goals!

"Superb Camera.", This is one excellent camera. Takes great pictures and the Image Stabilization feature is wonderful. This is my 5th Digital Camera (I was an early adopter), and 4 of them have been Canons. I switched to Sony once and was very unhappy and am glad I switched back.

The zoom is kind of less powerful, but the wide angle on this bad boy is great. You can't go wrong with this product.

"Very nice until Gone", I only had this camera for about 3 weeks before it was stolen from me at the beach. It however took very nice pictures, was simple to use, and compact. The only thing that I didn't like about the camera was the exterior syling of it. I likeed the box shape of the older ones better. But it was a good camera, probably upgrade to the 800IS when I get ready again. Wider angle for group photos.

"Great Compact", I have had this camera for nearly a year and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The battery life is very strong, the focus is generally sharp, and the zoom is excellent.

I originally bought the camera because of the fast start-up and picture-to-picture time, and I haven't been disappointed. I was frustrated that my HP took so long to start up. By the time that I was ready to shoot the moment had passed. Not so with the SD700. The IS tech also seems top notch to me. I'm not a very good photographer, but my photos look a good deal better now.

Also, the low light capability of this camera is great. While searching for houses I would take pictures underneath the houses to look for damage and the camera would always show me much more than I could see with my naked eye.

I highly recommend it, but shop around for a good price.

"Great camera, great photos", We have bought two of these cameras, one for us about a year ago, and liked it so much that we bought one for our daughter this past June. We also bought an underwater housing for reef photography. We chose Canon because our prior camera was also a digital Elph (circa 2002) and worked great until the CF door broke off.

Elphs take very good photos, are easy to use and sturdily built. This one has a very large screen and an eyepiece (which I prefer), reasonably simple menus and easy access to some basic settings (e.g., flash on manual, off or auto; erase photo or card) that we use often. The only concern is that the little doors for the battery and cable connection seem flimsy and easy to break. They have survived so far, but we are careful with them. Other than that, just stick it in your pocket or purse and it'll always be ready to go. Battery life is excellent and theh charger very compact.

I store and process my photos with both iPhoto and Photoshop. I have printed quite a few 8 x 10s crom cropped photos with great success (any limitations are more the printer than the camera).

My daughter has used her SD 700 Elph for reef photgraphy with ease and success. The housing is very secure and well-designed. It could be used in any hostile environment -- sand, dust, rain, underwater.

"Amazing tiny camera", My brother owns this camera and I love using it. It's compact, lightweight, tiny and it fits anywhere. By the way, it takes beautiful pictures, too!
